Bologna and Torino are both reportedly keen to sign Hertha Berlin forward Dodi Lukebakio ahead of Inter Milan this summer.
This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, via FCInter1908, who reported live on air yesterday evening that the Rossoblu and the Granata have both marked 25-year-old Belgian international Lukebakio out as a target for next season.
Forward Lukebakio it’s been a strong campaign on an individual level despite Hertha being relegated from the Bundesliga during the season just gone
The Belgian has scored eleven goals in 32 league appearances across the season. He has also scored once in one appearance in the German Cup.
Clearly, it looks unlikely that Lukebakio will stick around at Hertha now that they will be playing in the second division next season.
Bologna & Torino Join Inter Milan In Chasing Hertha Berlin Forward Lukebakio
Inter have reportedly marked Lukebakio among their attacking targets for next season.
This is because Joaquin Correa will almost certainly leave the club. The Argentine has never really established himself at the Nerazzurri since joining from Lazio in the summer of 2021. The club’s intention is therefore to shift him on.
Tigre and Italy striker Mateo Retegui is one of the Nerazzurri’s targets. 26-year-old Spezia star M’Bala Nzola is also reportedly on their radar.
However, Lukebakio is also very much a target, and Inter see him as an alternative to signing Marcus Thuram.
However, there will be no shortage of competition for Lukebakio’s signature now that a Hertha departure looks inevitable.
It could even be a team from within Serie A who beats Inter to his signature, with both of Bologna and Torino keen to move according to Di Marzio.
Lukebakio has also played for Wolfsburg and Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga. He’s also had a brief stint with Watford in the Premier League.
The Belgian international has also made seven appearances for the Red Devils at the senior level.
