Inter CEO Beppe Marotta wants to sign Sassuolo striker Giacomo Raspadori next summer by striking an agreement for him in January but allowing him to stay with his current club til the end of the season.

This according to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.com, who report that the Nerazzurri could try to swoop for the 21-year-old early to beat a number of other interested clubs to his signature.

Raspadori remains a major attacking target for Inter despite the club having missed out on him this summer, but they are not the only club chasing him with the likes of Marseille and RB Leipzig in particular interested in bringing him in.

Accordingly, Marotta wants the Nerazzurri to make their move for the young Sassuolo striker early by reaching a deal with the Neroverdi during the January transfer window but blocking his arrival out for next summer, with the player reportedly keen on the switch.
