Strootman Is Inter’s Alternative If They Can’t Get Dembele

Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman will be Inter’s go to option if they are to miss out on signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele as per a report from Gazzetta dello Sport.

Following the arrival of Bryan Cristante at the Giallorossi from Atalanta yesterday, Roma’s midfield is now rather crowded which means the sale of a midfielder is likely with Strootman and Radja Nainggolan’s names both the favourites to be sold as reported by many media outlets.

The 28-year-old Dutchman only signed a contract extension to the end of the 2021/22 season last year but is now considering his future with the capital club as per the report from the Milanese newspaper who reiterate he has a €32 million release clause. Inter however could look to acquire him cheaper than that by sending a player(s) as part of any deal.

Strootman made a total of 44 appearances across all competitions for Roma last term where he managed to contribute one goal and one assist.
