Inter Milan Vice-President Javier Zanetti is a fan of young Boca Juniors midfielder Cristian Medina, among other Argentine players.
Zanetti spoke to Argentine broadcaster TyC Sports, via FCInterNews.
Inter Assistant Sporting Director Baccin is currently in South America. As the Nerazzurri executive is on a scouting mission.
Baccin is typically the man who Inter rely on to monitor talent in South American leagues as part of their transfer strategy.
Subsequently, Inter have enjoyed plenty of success bringing in players from across the Atlantic ocean. This has been the case both historically and in recent years.
Players such as the Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez is almost a perfect success story in this respect.
And therefore, whilst it would be going too far to say that Baccin is looking for the “next Lautaro” he is keeping an active eye out.
Baccin watched the recent Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and Fluminense. That saw the Brazilian team win 2-1 in extra time.
A number of players are reportedly on Inter’s and Baccin’s radar. Among these are defender Nicolas Valentini and midfielder Valentin Barco.
Both of that young duo play for Argentine giants Boca.
Furthermore, Inter Vice-President Zanetti is also big fan of another of the club’s players.
