Inter Milan are reportedly overlooking Daichi Kamada in favor Lazar Samardzic who remains the preferred candidate.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri are still searching for a sixth midfielder to complete Simone Inzaghi’s middle of the park.

The club sold Marcelo Brozovic to Al-Nassr while Roberto Gagliardini joined Monza as a free agent. On the other hand, Inter won the race for Davide Frattesi’s signature.

But despite the arrival of the former Sassuolo star, the manager still needs an extra midfielder. The club will once again compete on several fronts, thus, squad depth remains essential.

But while some suggested Kamada as a candidate for the role, the Roman-based newspaper dismisses the whole notion.

After six years at Eintracht Frankfurt, the Japanese midfielder is looking for a new adventure. He saw out his contract with the Bundesliga at the end of the season and remains unattached.

Inter Milan Have Rejected The Chance To Sign Daichi Kamada As They’re Still Holding Out For Lazar Samardzic

However, the source believes that neither AC Milan nor Inter are willing to bet on the 26-year-old.

For their part, the Nerazzurri only have eyes for Lazar Samardzic. The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season at Udinese last term. He scored four goals and produced five assists in Serie A.

The Serbian international can either play as an attacking midfielder or a box-to-box midfielder. Blessed with an impeccable left foot, the young man is extremely dangerous when he finds himself in a shooting position on the edge of the box.
