Successfully Signed Dzeko, Inter Milan Are Still Looking for a Replacement for Lukaku

DBasia.news – Inter Milan continues to try to find a replacement for Romelu Lukaku. The latest targets coming from Italy came to the fore.

Inter actually signed Edin Dzeko after releasing Lukaku to Chelsea. The Bosnian striker also immediately scored in his debut match against Dynamo Kiev, last weekend.

Even so, the presence of Dzeko seems not enough to make Simone Inzaghi as a coach satisfied. The age of 35 has made the former AS Roma player quite risky to rely on throughout the season.

The names of Duvan Zapata and Joaquin Correa came to the surface as Inter’s main targets. However, the Nerazzurri struggled to find their target because of the price hit.

The price of both is in the range of 50 million euros. This figure is considered Inter is still too high.

City rivals AC Milan also chose to look for other targets. Their radar was then fixed on Borussia Monchengladbach’s striker, Marcus Thuram.

Reporting from Sky Sport Italia, Inter have started negotiations with Mino Raiola as Thuram’s agent. The price of the attacker is believed to be cheaper than the two previous targets.

In addition, Thuram is considered to have a more complete quality. He can play as a center forward and a winger equally well.

Thuram himself must be interested in a career in Italy, which is his homeland. He was able to tread the career path of his father, Lilian Thuram.

Last season, Thuram recorded 11 goals and 12 assists from 40 games. This nick made him enter the French national team squad that competed in the 2020 European Cup.
