Inter hope to raise some much-needed transfer funds this week by selling strikers Facundo Colidio and George Puscas, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Colidio is closing in on a move to Leeds United, who are managed by his fellow Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, having previously been linked with Newcastle.

Puscas has several offers from England but the best one appears to be from Birmingham, who play with Leeds in the Championship.

The paper did not specify how much Colidio would cost but said Puscas’ sale should guarantee Inter around €10 million.

Antonio Conte still needs two strikers before the new Serie A campaign starts on 26 August, but Romelu Lukaku and Edin Dzeko are proving very hard to sign.

Inter would be able to invest more money in the pair if they can trim their squad in the meantime, although time is beginning to run out.

Lautaro Martinez is the only first-choice forward available to Conte at present, scoring a hat-trick in yesterday’s 5-1 win over Pro Sesto at Appiano Gentile.
