Inter Milan are targeting Giovanni Leoni and Ange-Yoan Bonny as part of the backbone of a new-look team under Cristian Chivu.
This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews.
Inter Milan have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach.
The Nerazzurri had already decided upon the 44-year-old to replace Simone Inzaghi a few days ago.
On Thursday, Inter chose Chivu, concluding a search of a couple days. This search had seen them try for Cesc Fabregas, and also reportedly consider Patrick Vieira.
However, in the end, Inter went with Treble-winning former defender Chivu. They called the Romanian, and he agreed to step up.
Inter Milan Eye Up Leoni & Bonny As Backbone Of New-Look Team Under Chivu
According to FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are looking at a couple of players from Chivu’s former side Parma as candidates to sign this summer and allow the coach to put his own stamp on the team.
Firstly, there is striker Ange-Yoan Bonny.
The Frenchman had already been a target for Inter. And as FCIN note, Parma had in fact asked Inter for Francesco Pio Esposito as part of talks for Bonny.
However, that had been while Chivu was still at the helm/
Therefore, FCIN note, Chivu will want to have a look at Pio Esposito in training before he makes any decisions on the teenage striker’s future.
Then, reports FCIN, Inter want to reunite Chivu with Parma defender Giovanni Leoni.
However, the Nerazzurri are far from the only club tracking Leoni. AC Milan, Juventus, and Bournemouth have all shown an interest in the 18-year-old.
Me I don’t trust Marotta he won’t do any better transfers for Mr,Chivu I will give all my support to Mr.Chivu hope he continue with our winning mentality that will end up with trophies.
Id say buy Bonny and loan Pio Esposito to Parma or overseas for more playing time.
Bonny is overrated.
lol imagine being ucl finalist and go after relegation level players SMH
if its coach request what can you do?
look at inzhagi he ask for lazio players at the begining of hia regimn
Keep Pio and look for another striker who has pace and dribbling to offer something different. We need legs and creativity in midfield (cherki would have been great) which is the main issue along with 2 more cbs, if acerbi and de vrij go or even if one goes.
