Inter Milan have cooled their interest in Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund, with Francesco Pio Esposito to stay and Ange-Yoan Bonny joining.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
It’s no secret that Inter Milan are interested in Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Since the start of the transfer window, the Nerazzurri have reportedly been sounding out a move for the Danish international.
According to widespread reports, Hojlund had emerged as a top target for Inter to bolster their attacking depth with a younger striker after players like Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic left.
Inter Cool Rasmus Hojlund Interest As Pio Esposito To Stay & Bonny To Arrive
However, the situation has changed in Inter’s attack.
Firstly, the Nerazzurri are on the verge of getting a deal done for Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Inter will make the Frenchman their third signing of the summer, after Petar Sucic and Luis Henrique.
Reportedly, Inter will pay Parma a fee of €23-24 million plus add-ons for Bonny.
Furthermore, and even more significantly, it looks as though Francesco Pio Esposito will be staying at Inter this summer.
The 19-year-old had a breakout performance against River Plate in the Club World Cup. And this looks to have convinced Inter that he is ready to stay and make an impact next season rather than going on loan.
Therefore, Inter now feel that they can count on four striker options, along with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.
Accordingly, there would be little reason for Inter to move for a player like Rasmus Hojlund as things stand.
finally good news….i can start my weekend fun from now lol
That is very good and Inter should Hasten up on Bonny and sign him then get probably Nico Paz and retain Carboni with at least 2 decent young defenders and we are good to go.
Best news I’ve heard all week!! Wasting money on Hoijlund would be a disaster for the club, and for Pio Espositos development! Martinez, Thuram, Pio and Bonny is more than enough up front, especially with Carboni and Frattesi as attacking midfield options….Leoni and a midfielder who can play decisive passes should be the priority…
100% agree
Not sure on the Leoni front especially not for the sort of money they’re talking, but tbf I haven’t seen much of him.
I wish we were getting someone better than Bonny too.
But I’m excited to see sucic & pio be given game time moving forward. The one real bonus of inzaghi leaving is the youngsters will be given a chance at least.
I think its more to bonus appointing Chivu as manager than because of Inzaghi leaving…
