Inter Milan Want To Make Udinese Wonderkid Final Midfield Signing Of The Summer

Inter Milan are hoping to make Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic their final central signing of the summer.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, who report that the 21-year-old is the Nerazzurri’s top target to complete their midfield options for next season, and that they could move for him close to the end of the transfer window.

Inter have already made one high-profile signing in midfield this summer – that of Davide Frattesi from Sassuolo.

The 23-year-old Italian international arrived after Marcelo Brozovic headed the other way – the Nerazzurri sold the Croat to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.

However, that won’t be the only business that Inter do in midfield this summer. The departure of Roberto Gagliardini for Monza on a free transfer makes sure of that.

Former Atalanta midfielder Gagliardini had been the “sixth” midfielder in the rotation last season.

Without the 29-year-old around, Inter have only five senior midfielders in their squad. They do not consider this to be sufficient depth given the number of matches and the possibility of injuries.

Inter Milan Hoping To Swoop For Udinese Starlet Samardzic Before Window Closes

Inter’s plan is to sign a young midfielder to replace Gagliardini and Stefano Sensi.

The idea would be to bring in a player who can bed into the team slowly, and have room to grow.

Tuttosport note that the Nerazzurri’s priority is hardly to sign a player who can make an immediate impact starting match in and match oput.

However, Inter are not just seeking a short-term solution.

In this sense, Lazar Samardzic could be the ideal option. The former RB Leipzig starlet already has Serie A experience under his belt.

However, the German-born Serbian international can certainly continue to grow with more experience.

Inter are not the only team with an interest in Samardzic. Moreover, the Friulani will want a decent-sized fee for such a promising young midfielder.

But if Samardzic is still on the market a few weeks from now, the Nerazzurri may decide to swoop.
