Today is the final day for Inter to take up their redemption option on Joao Cancelo and while the Nerazzurri are not expected to take up the option, it does not mean that Cancelo still couldn’t be playing for Inter again next season Tuttosport report.
Cancelo arrived on loan from Valencia with a €35 million redemption option attached but due to ongoing financial problems, Inter will not be able to exercise the option. Signing Cancelo would’ve further crippled Inter and forced them in to making a number of big sales that would ultimately rather be avoided. However as of July 1, it will be a new year for Inter and with thanks to Champions League qualification they will have a bigger budget and could then go after Cancelo again even if his price will be inflated on the back of his performances last season.
Inter have however prepared a shortlist of alternative players they can sign if they are unable to strike a deal for the Portuguese to return; Roma’s Alessandro Florenzi, Hoffenheim’s Pavel Kaderabek, Borussia Monchengladbach’s Nico Elvedi and Atletico Madrid’s Sime Vrsaljko.
