Inter and Juventus will be battling it out for many of the same targets in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to a report from Italian news broadcaster ANSA released earlier tonight and reported via FcInter1908.
According to the report, it’s unlikely that Juventus will sign Inter target Sandro Tonali, as the Nerazzurri are ahead in the talks with the player.
The Nerazzurri are hoping to fund multiple deals with funds earned from the sale of the 22-year-old Lautaro to Barcelona, with the Milanese club not accepting a fee lower than €111 million, the player’s release clause.
The report details how the Bianconeri are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Arthur, a player who was offered to Inter by the Blaugrana in the negotiations surrounding Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez.
Both clubs are also interested in Santos talent Kaio Jorge, an 18-year-old Brazilian striker who has a release clause worth €50 million valid for foreign teams. The price is negotiable, and a deal could be closed out at €30 million.
In conclusion, the report details that Inter have blocked Napoli’s Dries Mertens and are looking at RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner if Barcelona were to sign Lautaro Martinez.
