Inter Milan are ready to make their next offer for Club Brugge winger Tajon Buchanan shortly after the new year.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.
Inter are now going full speed ahead in their pursuit of Buchanan.
The 24-year-old is the player who the Nerazzurri have decided on as their priority target on the left flank.
Buchanan has been on Inter’s radar in the past. They club have considered the versatile Canadian international has having an ideal profile to adapt to the right-wingback role in their 3-5-2 shape.
But injury issues in Inter’s squad have caused the club to push their pursuit of Buchanan forward.
The fact that Juan Cuadrado will be out for a few months whilst he undergoes surgery means that Inter have just Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian fit as right-wingback options at the moment.
The former has had fitness issues of his own this season. Dumfries is currently out with a muscle injury.
And Darmian is also important depth in the centre-back position.
Therefore, Inter will make a signing in January for the right flank.
Inter Preparing Next Offer For Club Brugge Winger Tajon Buchanan Just After New Year
Rather than going for a stopgap solution, the Nerazzurri will simply push forward their move for Buchanan.
Inter have already begun talks, and negotiations with Brugge are ongoing.
There is not yet an agreement on a fee for Buchanan. But the sense is that that is no longer far away.
Inter are aiming to wrap up a deal for Buchanan early in the January transfer window.
The Nerazzurri could even try to have Buchanan in their squad for their next Serie A match, against Hellas Verona.
And to that end, Tuttosport reports, Inter’s next offer should arrive right after the new year.
