AEK Athens are ready to make an offer for up to €7.5 million to sign out-of-favour Inter Milan forward Joaquin Correa.
This according to Greek outlet SportsNewsGreece. The outlet also anticipate that the one hitch could be the club’s investment to sign Erik Lamela as well.
One thing that looks very clear is that Correa will not be at Inter by the start of next season.
The Argentine has no place in the Nerazzurri squad for the upcoming campaign.
Moreover, given that Correa’s contract with Inter runs out at the end of next June, the Nerazzurri will certainly want to sell him outright this summer rather than loan him out again.
Last summer, Correa joined Marseille on loan.
However, the Argentine endured a disastrous campaign with the Ligue 1 side. he failed to score or assist a goal over the course of the season.

Then, there are also AEK Athens pushing to sign Correa this summer.
SportsNewsGreece have previously reported the Greek Super League club’s interest in the Argentine.
And according to the outlet AEK have not given up.
