Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio and his assistant Dario Baccin would like to sign Folarin Balogun but head coach Simone Inzaghi prefers Alvaro Morata.
This is the situation at the club, at least according to Tuttosport via FcInterNews.
The Nerazzurri are looking to bolster their frontline with one more signing after the arrival of Marcus Thuram on a free transfer.
The management unanimously agreed to end talks with Romelu Lukaku and his entourage. On the contrary, it appears that the identity of the alternative remains a matter of debate.
As the source explains, Ausilio and his right-hand man Baccin have identified Balogun as the best profile for the job.
The USMNT star returned to Arsenal following a sensational campaign on loan at Stade Reims. Nonetheless, it appears that the Gunners are looking to cash in on the 22-year-old ‘s services.
However, the report claims that Inzaghi inclines towards the more experienced Morata. The Atletico Madrid striker is 30 years of age and represented some of the biggest clubs on the planet.

The Spaniard also has significant Serie A experiences having played at Juventus during two separate spells combining for four years.
As the source explains, the club directors don’t want another Leao-scenario. This is a reference to the time when the hierarchy was about to sign the Portuguese star but he eventually refused to join because then-Inter manager Antonio Conte wasn’t convinced.
The report adds that Inter could also sell Joaquin Correa who is flirting with Saudi Pro League club Al-Shabab.
In this case, Gianluca Scamacca could be the replacement. West Ham might be open for an initial loan spell. On the contrary, Udinese certainly won’t let Beto leave on loan.
