It isn’t just Inter who wants the talented Uruguayan, Kevin Mendez. The Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla explained the reasons here: “The 6th of March we talked about an exclusive possible scenario for Penarol’s striker, Kevin Mendez (born 1996), who for many people are the “new” Tevez. We talked about two clubs: Inter who was in pole-position and shortly after did Fiorentina also show their interest. Now can we also add some other important details about his future.
Mendez future is probably still in Serie A, but more clubs are involved. We have to add Juventus and Milan to the list since they have had contacts, and we can’t exclude Napoli and Lazio.
Kevin’s quality isn’t a discussion and he’s value is around 5-6 million euros, but the price can rise as their are so many clubs that are interested.
Barcelona have also shown interest and he was very close to a transfer to them before, However Penarol didn’t want to sell, and they renewed the contract instead and now Barcelona can’t purchase as they are blocked from the transfer market, They also preferred Halilovic in the end, who they also signed after long negotiations. Mendez is now ready to leave Penerol and can move to more or less any Italian club, and Penerol knows it’s time to accept the more attractive proposals.”
