Inter Milan are reportedly watching Independiente teenager Tomas Parmo with great interest.
The Italian champions have a knack for monitoring the brightest talent in South America, and even more specifically in Argentina.
Over the past few years, they snapped up the likes of Lautaro Martinez and Valentin Carboni. The duo are currently part of the Argentina squad that will compete in the final of the Copa America this Sunday against Colombia.
According to Il Crack Deportive via FcInter1908, Inter have now set their sights on Parmo who plies his trade at Independiente.
Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti has been scouting his young compatriot for quite some time now,
The 16-year-old is an attacking midfielder who is considered one of the most promising youngsters in the country. The teenager currently plays for the club’s B-team.
Inter Milan Eyeing Move For Independiente Talent Tomas Parmo
But while many deem him ready for the senior squad, Independiente coach Julio Vaccari has recently stated that the youngsters at the club must remain patient, as they won’t have much space with the first team.
These comments didn’t sit well with Parmo and his entourage, especially with Inter knocking on the door.
The teenager would thus try to push his way out of the club in search of top-tier football.
However, Inter’s missing to sign him won’t be an easy task.
As the source explains, the only way for the Serie A champions to secure Parmo’s services would be to pay his release clause. This means splashing 20 million euros for the 16-year-old.
The young midfielder is tied to Independiente with a contract valid until December 2026.
Parmo currently represents Argentina on the U-17 level. He has one goal to his name from eight caps.
