Inter Milan are ready to go for Folarin Balogun if they fail to seal Gianluca Scamacca’s transfer move from West Ham. The Nerazzurri consider the Italian striker as their main target, but Atalanta are trying to hijack their deal with a bigger offer. Inter have raised their bid to €24 million and included €4 million in add-ons.
The Nerazzurri are looking at other options to improve their attack, and Balogun is one of the prime candidates. The club directors like his profile and feel that he will be a good fit going forward. Moreover, he has a high ceiling, and Inter can build their attack around him. The Arsenal striker had a great season in Ligue 1 with Reims on loan.
West Ham are reluctant to accept Inter Milan’s offer for the Italian striker. They believe he is worth more, and are waiting for Atalanta to make an official bid. The La Dea are in the race and can hijack the transfer soon by increasing the offer. The Premier League club are encouraging this bidding war to gain more profit. They have the funds to make a better offer after the sale of Rasmus Hojlund to Man United.
Inter Milan to go for Balogun if Correa leaves the club
Folarin Balogun could also arrive if Joaquin Correa leaves the club. So Inter could plan to sign both Scamacca and Balogun in this window if the Argentine forward leaves, and West Ham accepts Inter’s offer. The Argentine forward had a poor season with Inter, and the club has decided to offload him as soon as they find a suitable club for him.
The Nerazzurri want to revamp their forward line and add younger players. Inter are planning for sustainable growth, and bringing in young talents would help them in the long run. Balogun is one of the best young strikers in the market, hence Inter want to make a move for him.
