The international auction for Bryan Cristante has been launched, the former Milan product is now attracting bigger clubs, across Europe.

“After the initial contact from Inter, Juventus has also been interested, but there are also admirers across Europe, in the Premier League, France and Spain,” Gazzetta dello Sport report.  Among Inter’s list of rivals is Atletico Madrid, as the players agent Beppe Riso claimed he had been across Europe in last few days, travelling to places like London, Paris and Madrid to test the waters.

Diego Simeone has been interested in the player for some time but there is a determination from Inter to bolster Luciano Spalletti’s midfield. Since the former Milan player seems to meet all of Inter’s requirements, aiming for young, quality players, with room to develop. In this scenario, the negotiations between Inter and Atalanta for Roberto Gagliardini last January could benefit their proposal.

Juventus also have a strong interest in Cristante and previous dealings with Atalanta such as the deal for Mattia Caldara could help them like the Gagliardini deal could help Inter. It is understood that Inter’s mercato duo of Piero Ausilio and Walter Sabatini are at a more advanced stage in contacts.
