The form of Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito in preseason has given Inter Milan second thoughts about signing Ademola Lookman.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
Inter have been chasing Ademola Lookman for almost five weeks now.
The transfer saga between the Nerazzurri, the Nigerian international, and Atalanta has become the transfer soap opera of the summer in Serie A.
Inter Have made two offers for Lookman. First they bid €40 million. Then, they increased their offer to €45 million including add-ons.
And in the meantime, Lookman has tried to force Atalanta’s hand on a move.
The 27-year-old has publicly demanded a transfer. He has also been no-showing training for Atalanta since the start of August.
Bonny & Pio Esposito Give Inter Second Thoughts About Lookman
Meanwhile, however, Inter have been relying on Ange-Yoan Bonnny and Francesco Pio Esposito in preseason.
And the two young strikers have really impressed with their performances.
So much so, the Corriere dello Sport report, that Inter feel that for the first time in two years they can boast truly formidable attacking depth.
Giving the attack more depth was a big part of the reason Inter had targeted Lookman.
Therefore, the Corriere note, Inter may well have second thoughts about the need for them to sign the Nigerian.
Nonsense Inter think they’re competent to go for the league and championship league,Hell no.
the only player that can take down too man, zalewski as been sold, defense got too old too Chase ball.i won’t be sad when we end up at 10th position
Inter might not push too hard for Lookman if Bonny and Pio Esposito keep this form. Both youngsters look hungry and explosive, which is exactly what Inter need. But consistency over a long season is key, Lookman already proved himself in Serie A and Europe. Tough call for Inter!
English pls
they using google translate
made up news as usual
Between our 4 strikers and Frattesi, we do have good depth… plus Henrique has looked more Dangerous starting on the left and cutting inside… I’m not saying I wouldn’t want Lookman, but midfield and defence are higher priorities….
It is a steal from Ausilio. Bonny is great.
Napoli will buy Bonny now, if He still in Parma. Because Lukaku is injured. And Bonny is the perfect replacement for Lukaku. But Ausilio got him faster.
Bonny really great techniques with ball in his feet. He also fast and big.
If Inter think they can rely on Bonny and Pio for the rest of the season they are surely wrong. Inter needs to buy Lookman to complete the squad. The team is incomplete.
You don’t rely on friendlies performance to get good results in competition like SERIA A not to talk of champions league. Inter should get serious and get Lookman at any cost. They will benefit, both in terms of further sale in future and winning laurels. Lookman is a born WINNER, right from his days at England u-20, through to Nigeria SE, Atalanta etc. HE’S GOT THAT WINNERS MENTALITY.
Come on dude. Stop being a slave to big names and media hype. Recognize potential. Leoni is overhyped, lookman is questionable morale and 27 for 50+?!?!? Do you want vlahovic for free? Zaniolo for 5-6 mil? Either have a team or just shop like on the playstation. If you were old enough to remember the summer of 2000 i think – we had canavaro, seedorf, vieri, ronaldo and so on…out in the 3rd qualifying round to helsingborg. Now fast forward to cruz from bologna, the old figo, the outcast cambiasso, the borring burdisso – champs in a row. Icardi out – inter champion. You need a strong group. Not big names. Lyon sold one star every summer and got further every time. And when they sold benzema – reached the semis in 09/10. Psg won in the first year without zlatan, cavani, lavezzi, messi, neymar, veratti, mbappe kinda player. Now on the other hand united bought every player in the world the last 15 years and almost relegated last year. Can you please start understanding that buying the best players does not make you a top team. Its the group that counts. Let the management do their job and support your team. Enough with the crybabies in this articles. Half of the information is fake news from sky italia.
For me, Lookman would be the Eto’o-factor added to Cruz and boring Burdisso. Or Did it become “boring Chivu” by then, having a hunch we sold Burdisso just before the Eto’o-factor arrived. His crazyness was crucial to our last CL-push.
It was mostly the tight group that Mou created. But of course Eto’O was amazing taking one for the team and playing wide. Wonderful days, but lets look ahead. We have a great squad. I would add a central defender, but lets see. That u23 is there for a reason. Cocchi might be what we’re looking for. After all…leoni was so “good” that he never played until Chivu gave the green light. He knows best what we have in the house that he wants to use. Stay possitive brothers and Forza Inter
Well, my favorites that year are Samuel, Zanetti, and Cambiasso… so. Eto’o did these funny things on the wing… Zanetti, usually boring perfection, suddenly dribbles all over the pitch, and no one could take the ball from him. The boring is the most exciting to me.
‘Eto’o-factor’ is used as a reference to Guardiola’s book, naming a chapter something like that.
Our tight core was a perfect place for Eto’o to be his kind of wonderful crazy. It took Mou or Guardiola to handle him…
Like every successful organization, we need a wild card. Look at Scoobie Doo, Ghostbusters, and Inter – with Eto’o!
Great to have our own 2nd team in Serie C, maybe Kamate and Mosconi will be given a few chances, like against Olympiakos. Mosconi, just after being introduced on the pitch, dribbled like none of our starters.
I do agree that a CB is our most important place to strengthen, and having a coach who used to be a defender might also help!
Are you serious bro? We dont have enough depth in attack for 3-4-2-1 We have 3 Strikers + Pio Esposito… But we need 6… if we count on fratessi to play behind striker, we still need another one… Fuck Lukaku! if we got Dybala instead of his traitor ass we were facing no problem these past seasons
Against Olympiakos, it seemed as if Thuram had the striker-spot, while Mkhi and Toro did a lopsided diamond version of CAM’s, having the defensive double pivot to the right.
Mhki demonstrates how involved he is in offence for us, and given more rest, he could be very useful for us.
Toro was MOM in his deeper role, in my view.
Fratessi could be our wild card this year.
Don’t think Lookman won African footballer of the year just by being a big name mate, he is good and exactly what Inter need actually. someone who can dribble the tight space. think of it as Yamal from Temu or something. idc. but we need someone like him. if not him then someone who can do something like that
I was thinking the same thing. We already have strikers who are only getting better and also hoping Frattesi give some attacking power we need in midfield. Otherwise players like Malick Fofana looks very promising and should invest.
inter beruntung mendapatkan bony usia masih mudah dgn harga murah secara tehnik maupun kecepatan , tapi inter perlu tambahan 1 striker lagi yg mampu membawa bola diarea lawan dgn aksi nya seperti lokman dan tapi masalahnya Atalanta yg menjadi batu sandungan dlm hal transfer dan inter perlu tambahan seorg bek yg tangguh dan masih mudah karena bek inter di huni pemain yg udah tua seperti acerbi dan Dvrij, Apalagi seri A segera di mulai inter hrs bergerak cepat sebelum bursa transfer di tutup
