Inter have decided to try and sign Memphis Depay according to a report from Milan based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The players is in great condition and has been an integral part of Lyon’s squad. The Dutch Winger has a contract with the French club until 2021 and has just had a fantastic season, scoring 22 goals in 51 games.
With thanks to the Nerazzurri’s qualification into the Champions League, courtesy of Luciano Spalletti, there is no more sympathy for Inter, in terms of finances, as Lyon are aware of the bonuses and will not allow him to leaveon a loan with option/obligation to buy transfer. While Inter’s revenues are on the increase, this does not exclude them from Financial Fair Play. The Dutchman earns €4.2 million per season and is the joint highest paid player in the squad (alongside Mariano Diaz). The Nerazzurri are ahead of rivals Milan in the race, given the known problems for the Rossoneri with them being without Champions League and potentially even being disqualified from the Europa League.
The alternatives remain the usual candidates of Verdi, Politano and Berardi. Furthermore, the sale of Inter’s current wingers are not excluded because with Karamoh growing, one of Perisic or Candreva could say goodbye.
