Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata is Inter Milan’s top target in attack, but they’re also tracking Folarin Balogun, Beto, and Mehdi Taremi.
This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, who reported on air via FCInterNews, that whilst the Nerazzurri are now working to sign Morata, they also have other possible targets up their sleeve in case they miss out.
It has now been a few days since Inter’s pursuit of Romelu Lukaku came to an end in spectacular fashion.
However, in the time since, the Nerazzurri have already been busy devising their strategy in terms of alternatives.
According to Di Marzio, Atletico and former Juventus, Chelsea, and Real Madrid striker Morata is Inter’s top target.
Today, they will hold a meeting with the player’s agents. They want to know if the player is interested in the move and if a deal is feasible financially.
However, Inter aren’t taking a deal for granted. Particularly given that the Nerazzurri will also have to negotiate with Atletico Madrid, and don’t want to pay the current €21 million release clause in Morata’s contract.
Balogun & Beto Inter Milan’s Morata Alternatives – Taremi Also On Their List
Therefore, Inter are also lining up possible alternatives to Morata.
The Nerazzurri could go in a very different direction from signing the experienced Spaniard by moving for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun..
The 22-year-old US international would not be cheap, and is still at an early stage of his career. However, Inter feel that Balogun’s loan spell with Reims last season is enough evidence to invest in him.
Also on the Nerazzurri’s shortlist is Udinese striker Beto.
The 25-year-old does have a couple seasons of experience in Serie A, but is also five years younger than Morata.
Lastly, Di Marzio reports, Inter are also considering Porto and Iran striker Mehdi Taremi a target. The 30-year-old is not their first-choice by any means, but they are also keeping him in mind in their search.
