Serie A leaders Inter Milan have earmarked Olympique Marseille winger Luis Henrique as their top target for the summer.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Champions League prize money could bolster Inter’s case.

Inter are on the verge of qualifying for the semi-finals after beating Bayern Munich 2-1 in the first leg last week.

Therefore, there’s a good chance Simone Inzaghi can raise more funds for the summer transfer window.

Indeed, tonight’s match is worth around €25 million, between UEFA’s rewards and future ticket sales.

Marseille have slapped a €30m price tag on Luis Henrique.

Furthermore, the Italians must beat Bayern Munich to the punch, with the Bavarians firmly in the mix.

However, Les Olympiens’ asking price and foreign competition will not deter Inter from pursuing this deal.

That would ring especially true if they reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Henrique has already agreed to join the Nerazzurri.

Therefore, negotiations with the French powerhouse should proceed in good faith.
