A new showdown between arch-rivals Inter Milan and Juventus could be on the horizon, with the two clubs vying for Albert Gudmundsson.
The two clubs often end up clashing heads on the transfer market in pursuit of common targets.
The most recent example was the Juan Cabal transfer saga. While all major sources in Italian football claimed that the Nerazzurri wrapped a deal for the Hellas Verona star, it was the Old Lady who prevailed following a late onslaught.
The 23-year-old Colombian is now finalizing his move to the Turin-based giants.
However, this might not spell the end of the two rivals’ market skirmishes for the summer of 2024.
According to Tuttosport via FcInterNews, a new battle could ensue for the services of Gudmundsson.
The Genoa star was one of the main revelations of the previous Serie A campaign, earning himself a host of suitors between Italy and abroad.
While Inter emerged as the favorites in the race, their finances have prevented them from sealing the deal.
Inter Milan & Juventus To Battle It Out For Albert Gudmundsson
Therefore, the Icelandic striker’s signature remains up for the taking, and the source believes that Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli could soon make a move.
As the source explains, the Bianconeri could offer Genoa an expensive loan. That’s because signing the player on a permanent basis remains a risky move given his upcoming trial in Iceland. Gudmundsson is facing serious legal charges in his home country.
As reported earlier in the day, Inter are also pondering a similar formula. However, the Nerazzurri must also make some room on the wage bill by offloading Joaquin Correa and possibly Marko Arnautovic.
For their part, Genoa want at least 30 million euros to part ways with their main star. So it remains to be seen if they would consider a loan proposal.
