Inter Milan are considering a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko among other targets in place of Romelu Lukaku.
This according to Italian news outlet FCInter1908. The outlet also names Alvaro Morata and Folarin Balogun as possible post-Lukaku striker targets for the Nerazzurri.
After a sensational turn of events in the past few days, it now looks very unlikely that Inter will move for Lukaku.
The Nerazzurri have informed the player directly that they don’t have any intention of signing him. This comes after the Nerazzurri discovered the extent of the Belgian’s negotiations with Juventus.
Therefore, unless things change quickly, Inter will not sign Lukaku.
What this means is that the Nerazzurri will have to sign a different striker.
The Nerazzurri have Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram as attacking options for next season. Then, there’s Joaquin Correa, whose future at the club is very much in the balance.
Considering Inter will want to head into next season with four options in attack, they must sign a striker. And their plan is to move for a player with roughly similar characteristics to Lukaku.
Red Bull Salzburg Starlet Benjamin Sesko Among Inter Milan’s Post-Lukaku Targets
FCIN1908 confirm that both Alvaro Morata and Folarin Balogun are on Inter’s shortlist in this respect.
Experienced Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata would provide plenty of Serie A experience from his time at Juventus.
In addition to the Bianconeri, the Spaniard has also played for Real Madrid and Chelsea.
If Inter want to sign a player for the future rather than an experienced option like Morata, there’s Arsenal starltet Balogun.
In a similar vein, Leipzig striker Sesko would also be an investment for the future.
At twenty years old, the Slovenian international is really starting to find his feet. Sesko scored eighteen goals in 41 appearances for Red Bull Salzburg last season.
Sesko recently made the move to RB Leizpig, though according to FCIN1908 Inter could still sign him.
