Bologna have reportedly rejected an offer from Inter Milan for Marko Arnautovic which included Stefano Sensi as a bargaining chip.
With almost a week separating us from the first Serie A kick-off, the Nerazzurri are accelerating their attempts to buy one or two new strikers.
Simone Inzaghi’s attacking department is lacking depth despite the arrival of Marcus Thuram.
Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku both left at the end of last season. Thus, the Beneamata are currently lacking a genuine Number 9.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Porto striker Mehdi Taremi remains on top of the list.
However, the Iranian international won’t come cheap, as the Portuguese giants are asking for 30 million euros to offload him.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri are still keeping tabs on Arnautovic as a fallback option.
As the source explains, the 34-year-old is pushing for an exit from Bologna. He joined the Emilian club in 2021 and has a contract until 2025.
The report claims that Inter have already made an initial proposal to the Rossoblu, making a cash-plus-player offer.
Reportedly, the eight-million-euros offer included the services of Stefano Sensi.
Bologna Have Rejected An Exchange Offer From Inter Milan For Marko Arnautovic That Includes Stefano Sensi
The 28-year-old is a talented midfielder whose career has been sadly derailed by recurring injury problems.
The Nerazzurri signed the Italian in 2019 but have been sending him out on loan over the last couple of seasons.
However, Bologna have rejected the offer. The source cites that Sensi isn’t the midfielder that Rossoblu boss Thiago Motta is seeking.
Moreover, the Emilians are looking to collect 12 million euros which could reach 15 million with add-ons in order to sell Arnautovic.
