Inter are keeping tabs on Royal Antwerp forward Joaquin Ardaiz according to FCInterNews.it. The Uruguayan forward, who has been likened to compatriots Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, was offered to Inter in mid-June. Inter Sporting Director Piero Ausilio was offered the 18-year-old by his agent Marcelo Simonian but decided not to pursue him due to Danubio requesting €12 million for his services.
Inter are back looking at him due to him going through the process of acquiring a European passport. The Nerazzurri are not alone in courting him either with there being talk of interest from Juventus and Atletico Madrid also.
Ardaiz arrived at Antwerp on a season long loan and has yet to make a league appearance for the Belgian outfit. He has 30 appearances for parent club Danubio and has netted four goals and assisted twice. Moreover, he has 23 caps for the Uruguayan Under-20’s and has five goals.

Save the 12 million and buy a defender, we need more attacking force but we need more defensive cover.
Pellegri would be better option
Compared to Luis Suarez and Cavani but he scored only 4 goals in 30 games for some random club in a random league. Very poor statistic. Pass on this guy.
