Inter Milan are searching the market for a new striker following the collapse of the talks with Romelu Lukaku. The Nerazzurri have four main names on the shortlist.
As we all know by now, the Italian giants have dropped out of the race to sign the Belgian striker due to his controversial antics. This includes simultaneous negotiations with arch-rivals Juventus and failing to answer the club’s calls.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Inter are now pondering how to spend the money previously allocated to Lukaku’s transfer.
The source names four candidates for the role. We begin with Porto striker Mehdi Taremi.
The 31-year-old Iranian bomber made a name for himself at Porto. The Portuguese giants would only be willing to sell the big striker on a permanent basis.

On the other hand, West Ham United could adopt a more lenient approach concerning Gianluca Scamacca. The report believes that the Hammers could be open to letting the Italian striker leave on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Moreover, Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata and Arsenal youngster Folarin Bolagun remain among the usual suspects.
As we reported earlier today, Morata could well be the favorite candidate in Simone Inzaghi’s book.
Finally, the source believes Inter could even buy two more attackers this summer in case Joaquin Correa ends up leaving the club.
