Inter Milan Join Newcastle & Aston Villa In The Race To Sign Ex-Arsenal Midfielder This Summer

Inter Milan could join Newcastle United and Aston Villa in the race to sign Marseille midfielder Matteo Guendouzi this summer.

This according to French broadcaster TF1, via FCInterNews, who report that the Nerazzurri are among the clubs chasing the 24-year-old former Arsenal midfielder this summer as he looks likely to leave the Stade Velodrome during the transfer window.

French international midfielder Guendouzi is reportedly set to leave Marseille this summer.

The 24-year-old has fallen out of favour in the Ligue 1 giants’ team in recent months.

TF1 do note, however, that the departure of Igor Tudor as coach could change things for Guendouzi’s future. If the ex-Hellas Verona boss’s replacement rates Gunedouzi as an important part of the plans for next season, he could stick around.

However, according to the French broadcaster, the likeliest outcome currently looks to be Gunedouzi leaving.

Should Guendouzi indeed depart this summer, there would be no shortage of suitors for him.

Acccording to TF1, teams in the Premier League are interested in bringing the Frenchman back to England.

Villa, currently coached by former Arsenal coach Unai Emery, are interested. The Spanish tactician had been the coach who brought Guendouzi to Arsenal to begin with.

However, the Frenchman eventually fell out of favour with current Gunners coach Mikel Arteta.

This led to Guendouzi first joining Hertha Berlin on loan in the summer of 2020, and then Marseille.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United are also keen on bringing Guendouzi back to English football. The Magpies are working to strengthen their squad for next season as they make their return to the Champions League.

According to TF1, Inter would also be ready to reignite their pursuit of Guendouzi from when he was an Arsenal player.

Roberto Gagliardini will leave the Nerazzurri this summer, whilst Marcelo Brozovic could follow him out the door. Guendouzi is among the targets Inter are thinking of to bolster their midfield according to TF1.
