Inter Milan are reportedly preparing to offer one of their two fringe goalkeepers as exchange pawns in their attempts to sign Nathan Zeze.
The Nerazzurri are searching the market for a new left-footed defender to complete the backline.
Moreover, club owners Oaktree Capital wish to sign a young profile whose value could increase over time.
In this regard, Zeze ticks all the boxes, as the 19-year-old has cemented himself as one of the most promising young defenders in Ligue 1.
The Nantes native joined his hometown club at a tender age and climbed the ranks all the way up to the first team. The 19-year-old made 13 appearances in Ligue 1 last season.
In recent days, reports claimed that Inter have lunged forward with an offer worth 13 million euros. However, the Ligue 1 side didn’t budge.
But according to MaxiFoot via FcInterNews, the Italian champions are looking to launch another onslaught.
The Nerazzurri will try to tempt their French counterparts with a more enticing offer. The source believes that the bid could include a goalkeeper in exchange.
Inter Milan To Add Radu Or Stankovic To Nathan Zeze Offer Package
Nantes are currently searching the market for a new shot-stropper to replace the departing Alban Lafont.
Therefore, Inter will be looking to help Les Canaris solve this problem by handing them one of their own in exchange for a discount on Zeze.
The first custodian offered by the Nerazzurri is Andrei Radu. The 27-year-old has recently returned from an unsuccessful loan spell at Bournemouth.
The Romanian was once considered a potential heir for Samir Handanovic at Inter. But that ship sailed a long time ago.
The alternative for Radu would be 22-year-old Filip Stankovic. The Serbian enjoyed a solid loan stint at Sampdoria, but he still can’t carve himself a place in Simone Inzaghi’s squad.
