Inter and Napoli are considering a player swap in the upcoming January transfer window, where the Nerazzurri would send striker Matteo Politano to the Partenopei in exchange for forward Fernando Llorente, according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sports Italia today.
The report details how the two clubs started discussing the possible swap earlier today, with both teams considering the opposite number more fit for their current projects.
The 26-year-old Politano has always seemed destined to leave the Milanese club in January, due to his failure to adapt to the system of coach Antonio Conte. He has made 14 appearances so far this season but hasn’t scored a single goal or provided an assist.
It would be a loan exchange, the report highlights, allowing for a return of the strikers if the move doesn’t pan out. The 34-year-old Llorente is known for his strong physical presence and aerial threat, suggesting that he would be a good alternative to Romelu Lukaku for the Nerazzurri.
