Gianluca Scamacca of West Ham United is the target of increased Inter Milan efforts to buy him.
Scamacca struggled in his first season in the Premier League after leaving Sassuolo, and it showed.
The Italian striker, who has only played for the Hammers for one season, wants to depart in order to restart his career. A possible destination is a return to Serie A.
Scamacca has been prioritized for transfer to Roma, and recent statements from the striker indicate that the club is his preferred choice.
The former Neroverdi striker can only be loaned out by the Giallorossi due to their financial constraints, which prevent them from putting a deal together.
Sport Mediaset reports that Inter is currently preparing to make a bid of around €20 million to West Ham.
After negotiations to re-sign Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea broke down because the Belgian striker was interested in a move to Juventus, the Nerazzurri stepped up their search for a new striker.
Scamacca has become a viable option, and Inter are getting more confident in their ability to fend off offers to sign him.
Due to the sale of Andre Onana to Manchester United, they have the money necessary to match West Ham’s asking price.
With a €6 million release clause in his contract with Bayern Munich, Yann Sommer will be Onana’s replacement, although only a portion of the earnings will need to be reinvested in him.
It implies that Inter can concentrate on other signings in the transfer market with some freedom.
Alvaro Morata and Folarin Balogun of Atletico Madrid are two further potential striker targets for Inter.
