Inter will put the money they receive from selling Yann Karamoh to Parma towards their pursuit of Romelu Lukaku, according to Tuttosport.

Piero Ausilio met the Ducali’s sporting director Daniele Faggiano yesterday to look for an agreement, as the Nerazzurri chase another healthy ‘capital gain’.

Parma are willing to pay €13-15 million for the French youngster and give Inter a right of first refusal on the player, should they wish to resign Karamoh in the future.

Karamoh would have preferred a loan deal and is taking time out to reflect on whether he wants to leave the club that put their faith in him two summers ago.

Inter signed the 20-year-old forward from Caen in a deal worth €5.5 million in 2017.

Karamoh scored just one goal in his debut campaign before moving on loan to Bordeaux for the 2018-19 season.

Lukaku remains Antonio Conte’s first-choice signing up front but the club need to raise money from sales before they can increase their offer to Manchester United.
