According to a report from FCInter1908.it, Inter are far from alone in being interest in signing Lille’s Boubakary Soumare.

The Nerazzurri have identified the 20-year-old as a player who could strengthen their midfield department but they will need to move quickly with no less than five other clubs across Europe also said to be keen on signing him, some as soon as January.

Soumare has been almost ever present this season appearing in 22 of Lille’s 25 games to date this season, although he has been unable to make any goal contributions in that time.

As per the report, Napoli, Valencia, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in Soumare, who Lille want between €50-60 million for.

It goes on to add that they will ask any clubs who come in for him in January to allow him to be loaned back to them for the remainder of the season.
