Matteo Politano has leapt over Simone Verdi in Inter’s winger wishlist according to a report from Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.
With Inter competing on three fronts next season, manager Luciano Spalletti needs more rotation options as with it being highly unlikely that starting winger Antonio Candreva will be able to keep up with all the games without needing a period of rest at some stage.
The Sassuolo man is valued at €25 million currently but Inter could look to at least half that fee by inserting young players Andrea Pinamonti and Federico Valietti in to the deal, both of whom were almost bought by the Neroverdi back in the January transfer window.
However, it will not be plain sailing for Inter in their pursuit of the 24-year-old – who is under contract at the MAPEI Stadium until 2022 – due to interest in his services from elsewhere in the Italian peninsula, namely from Napoli and rivals Milan.
