Inter want Celtic striker Edouard, Leicester also interested

Inter Milan want Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard, Leicester City are also keen. As reported by calcio mercato. He has had a great season at Celtic and has scored 22 goals for them in all competitions. He is still 23 years old and can be a good long term option for many teams. Inter board has shown interest in him. But they have not made any bid or offer for him yet. Edouard’s contract will end next year so Celtic have to sell him in this transfer window or else he will become a free agent next year.

Inter do have financial problems and they will have to sell few players to get a profit of 80 million euros from this transfer window. They have interests from few clubs and will like to sell players before June 30. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are keen on Lautaro Martinez. Also Chelsea are pushing really hard for Lukaku’s return. Although Lukaku will most likely stay at Inter as he is in Inzaghi’s plans for the next season. But if Inter make one of these deals then they would have to find a striker. Hence they have shown interest in Odsonne Edouard.
