Inter Milan are thinking about a possible move for Monza goalkeeper Alessio Cragno.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews, who report that the 29-year-old Italian international is hardly a priority for the Nerazzurri but that they’re keeping tabs on him as a low-cost opportunity.
Cragno’s future looks uncertain despite the fact that, technically, he only signed for Monza this summer.
The Italian joined the Brianzoli on loan from Cagliari last summer. The Lombard team brought him in from Cagliari as a reinforcement for their first ever season in Serie A.
However, ex-Inter keeper Michele Di Gregorio ended up keeping his spot in goal after helping Monza to promotion.
Di Gregorio was one of the outstanding goalkeepers in Serie A last season. Therefore, Cragno hardly got a look in.
Monza signed the 29-year-old on a permanent basis, purely because of a purchase obligation in his loan deal.
However, a move to a different club could be on the cards for Cragno given his lack of playing time behind Di Gregorio.
Inter Milan Keeping Tabs On Alessio Cragno As Low-Cost Transfer Opportunity
Inter are bracing for a summer revolution in goal.
The club must replace both of Andre Onana and Samir Handanovic this summer.
There are specific ideas in mind to overhaul the goalkeeping positions. Cragno is hardly at the top of the shortlist.
Bayern Munich veteran Yann Sommer is one player on the Nerazzurri’s radar, as are Anatoliy Trubin and Emil Audero.
Then, the Nerazzurri are keeping their options. Players like Giorgi Mamardashvili, Keylor Navas, Hugo Lloris, and Marco Carnesecchi are also on their radar.
Nevertheless, Inter could face difficulties going after some of their main targets.
Therefore, they are keeping plenty of backup options in mind.
And it is in this sense that Inter are continuing to monitor Cragno. The Italian international’s situation at Monza means that he would hardly be a tough player to sign.
