Following the departure of Valentin Carboni to Olympique Marseille, Inter Milan could launch an onslaught for Nantes teenager Nathan Zeze.

The Argentine is currently on the cusp of finalizing his transfer to OM where he’ll have the opportunity to develop his game under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi.

According to Tuttosport via FcInterNews, this operation could generate 40 million euros for the Italian champions

This includes 5 million euros as loan fees, which the club will immediately collect. The French club will have the option to purchase the attacking midfielder for another 30 million, in addition to 5M in various bonuses.

So once they conclude the Carboni operation, Inter will have additional financial means in the coffers. This would allow them to pursue a new defender.

Over the past few weeks, the Nerazzurri have been searching the market for a left-footed centre-back. That’s because Tajon Buchanan’s injury will prompt Carlos Augusto’s return to the left wing, leaving Alessandro Bastoni without a backup.

Inter Milan Could Try To Acquire Nathan Zeze After Offloading Valentin Carboni

But while Inzaghi would like a sign an experienced profile like Ricardo Rodriguez, Oaktree would like to sign a young profile. The new club owners believe that investing in promising youngsters is the way to go.

Hence, the source believes Inter could try to secure the services of Zeze this summer.

The 19-year-old is a Nantes youth product who became a regular feature with the senior squad last season.

As reported earlier today, the Ligue 1 side has named their price at around 20 million euros.

Moreover, the Nerazzurri could also pursue Genoa star Albert Gudmundsson. However, this operation hinges on Marko Arnautovic’s departure, reveals the Turin-based newspaper.
