Former Inter defender Daniele ‘Lele’ Adani has advised Inter to forget about signing a big name replacement for Lautaro Martinez and go for Santos starlet Kaio Jorge instead.
Lautaro continues to be linked with a move away from Inter ahead of the Summer transfer window with Barcelona the club he has been linked with most.
The 22-year-old has a €111 million release clause in his current contract, more than enough money for Inter to bring in a suitable replacement but Adani things Inter should look to bring in 18-year-old sensation Kaio Jorge instead.
“Should Lautaro leave, I would not sign a big name in his place and would instead sign a young talent. I would sign Kaio Jorge. He plays for Santos, he is very good and he will become a top player,” Adani explained in an Instagram live chat with ex-Inter striker Christian Vieri.
Kaio Jorge is a product of Santos’ famed academy which has most notably produced the likes of Pele and Neymar and has a contract with them until December 31 2021.
The Brazilian youth national team player has began to make a name for himself in the first team and he has also recently been linked with a €14.5 million move to Inter’s arch rivals Juventus.
