Inter are ready to get deals done for Hellas Verona’s Marash Kumbulla and Brescia’s Sandro Tonali according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport.
Part of Inter’s transfer strategy involves bringing in promising young players. Whilst owners Suning and Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta want to win immediately, they are also wanting to win in the long run and believe the acquisition of several top young players will increase the chances of that happening.
Inter have been working on a deal for Kumbulla for some time and the player is seemingly keen on a move to Inter. Inter would like to get a deal done for him as soon as possible but are still to decide whether he will come to Milan immediately or if he will spend next season on loan at Hellas Verona.
As for Tonali, Inter have a slight advantage over other clubs interested in him thanks to the funds raised through the sale of Mauro Icardi to Paris Saint-Germain.
Brescia want €50 million for him but rather than paying that amount outright, Marotta is thinking about structuring the deal similarly to the one that brought Nicolo Barella to the club last Summer.
Marotta could also offer a young player as part of a deal for Tonali in order to bring the cost down a little.
