Inter risk missing out on signing Hertha Berlin midfielder Valentino Lazaro if they do not increase their offer, according to Sky Sport.
The clubs are in constant contact at the moment and the TV station assured talks could be described as ‘positive’.
However, various other sides are sniffing around the 23-year-old and could convince the player to change his mind if Inter don’t seal a deal soon.
The Nerazzurri may need to offer €20 million plus €5 million in bonuses in order to reach an agreement.
Inter’s pursuits of Nicolo Barella and Edin Dzeko are in a stronger position, with both players having agreed unequivocally to join the club.
Negotiations with Cagliari and Roma are taking longer than initially expected, though, despite both being at ‘an advanced stage’.
France under-17 captain Lucien Agoume will become Inter’s first official signing later this week but Antonio Conte will need to wait for first-team reinforcements.
Diego Godin will eventually join from Atletico Madrid on a free transfer while Ivan Perisic could become a new signing of sorts on the left-wing, with Conte contemplating the idea of trying him at wing-back.
Inter’s priority until the end of June is to raise €46 million in capital gains in order to avoid any risks relating to Financial Fair Play.
The Nerazzurri moved into their new offices on Monday, located in one of Milan’s primary business districts, in what Sky defined ‘a sign of the club’s ambition to develop and become more competitive’.
