Bologna have reportedly told Inter Milan that Marko Arnautovic would cost them at least 15 million euros, while Mehdi Taremi remains an option.
As we reported last night, the Nerazzurri added Arnautovic to their ever-growing shortlist of strikers.
The management is desperate to sign at least one new attacker before the season kicks off on August 19.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, the 34-year-old Austrian stands out among the domestic solutions. He has usurped Udinese star Beto on Simone Inzaghi’s pecking order.
However, Bologna won’t allow their star striker to head towards Appiano Gentile unless they receive a satisfying offer.
The source claims that the Emilians are asking for a figure between 15 and 20 million euros to part ways with the veteran bomber.
The Rossoblu signed the Austrian international in 2021. His contract with the club runs until 2025.
Bologna Slap A Price Tag Of At Least 15 Million Euros For Marko Arnautovic; Inter Are Still Monitoring Mehdi Taremi As Well
Arnautovic already played for Inter during the 2009/10 season. He spent a single campaign on loan from Twente. However, his impact was minimal.
On the other hand, the report believes that the possible arrival of Arnautovic won’t necessarily rule out a move for Folarin Balogun.
The USMNT star has different characteristics from the Bologna star. But the main hurdle remains his price tag, as Arsenal are asking for at least 35 million euros.
In the meantime, Porto veteran Mehdi Taremi remains on the radar. But as the source explains, the Dragao are asking for 30 million euros, which is a considerably high figure for a 31-year-old who’s running on an expiring contract.
Nevertheless, the report expects the Nerazzurri to try again today after the Portuguese Super League which was played yesterday.
