Inter Milan could offer striker Marko Arnautovic to Genoa as part of a deal for forward Albert Gudmundsson.
This according to Italian journalist Marco Barzaghi, who reported on the possibility of a transfer for the 26-year-old Icelandic international.
So far this season, Gudmundsson has been one of the major breakout talents in Serie A.
The Icelandic international is not new to the division. He had in fact joined Genoa during the summer of 2021.
That season, the Rossoblu were still a top flight team.
However, in the 2021-22 season, Genoa suffered relegation to Serie B.
Gudmundsson stayed in Liguria for a season in the second division. And he helped Genoa to achieve promotion back to Serie A.
And now, back in the top flight, Gundmundsson has shone.
Inter Could Offer Arnautovic + Cash For Albert Gudmundsson
Gundmundsson has been a key player in helping Genoa to establish a solid foothold in the Serie A midtable in their first season back in the league.
The Icelander’s technical ability in tight spaces and mobility playing behind a centre-forward have made him the Grifone’s star man in terms of end product in the final third.
So far this season, Gudmundsson has scored eight goals in Serie A. He has also assisted an additional two.
And this has not escaped the notice of some of the league’s biggest sides.
Inter, Roma, and Juventus are all reportedly keen on Gudmundsson’s signature.
And Barzaghi notes that based on his form this season, the 26-year-old former AZ Alkmaar forward would be worth in excess of €20 million.
But Inter could offers striker Arnautovic as part of the deal.
The Austrian only joined the Nerazzurri last summer. But he has not quite lived up to expectations.
If Inter sent Arnautovic to Genoa as part of a deal for Gudmundsson, they would see the Icerlander as a direct replacement for Alexis Sanchez, who is also expected to leave.
Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi would replace Arnautovic in terms of profile.
