West Ham United striker Gianluca Scamacca has said yes to a move to Inter Milan.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper La Repubblica, via FCInter1908, who report that the 24-year-old is ready to give the go ahead on a transfer to the Nerazzurri as the two clubs work towards finding an agreement.
Yesterday Inter held a very significant meeting with West Ham regarding Scamacca.
The Nerazzurri put forward an offer for the 24-year-old worth around €25 million including add-ons.
Whilst this was not high enough for the Hammers to accept, it was not miles off of their expectations.
Scamacca, who cost around €40 million for West Ham to sign from Sassuolo last summer, is amortized in the Londoners’ balance sheet at around €30 million. Therefore, that is around the amount the Hammers would aim to recoup.
As such, there is clearly a basis for negotiations between the clubs.
If Inter improve their offer a reasonable amount, they can certainly convince West Ham.
This means that the Nerazzurri have now taken a decisive step ahead of Roma in the race for Scamacca’s signature. The Giallorossi are only capable of offering West Ham an initial loan deal.
A key matter, however, will also naturally be the player concerned giving the green light.
Gianluca Scamcca Ready To Accept Move To Inter Milan
According to La Repubblica, however, Scamacca’s go-ahead will not be any sort of problem.
The 24-year-old may well prefer a move to Roma, considering that he is a childhood fan of the Giallorossi.
However, the newspaper reports, that isn’t going to cause the Italian international to reject a move to the Nerazzurri.
The striker is waiting to see what sort of agreement arises for his future.
But given that Roma are only offering West Ham a loan deal, it looks likelier that Inter will win the race for Scamacca’s signature.
Therefore, La Repubblica suggests, the player will happily go along with a move to Inter if that’s what’s on the cards.
