Inter to Go After Zirkzee Under the Right Circumstances

1 week ago 12

Despite their lack of resources, Inter intend to bolster their attack with a top-tier striker and have expressed preliminary interest in Joshua Zirkzee, even though he’s pricey and very in-demand, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Simone Inzaghi and the executives will have a transfer market-centered meeting in the next two weeks. Sealing the Scudetto early allows them to plan well in advance. The brass believes adding another offensive weapon with different traits than Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, and Mehdi Taremi would be highly beneficial.

Inter have been focusing on Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson but would be very keen on Zirkzee if they found a way to get him. Bologna demand €70M. There could be room for fancy formulas and makeweights. The Nerazzurri sent Giovanni Fabbian to Emilia last summer, inserting a buy-back clause.

They don’t plan to sell any of their stars. However, they are wary Thuram could be targeted by rich sides given his stellar season and his €85M release clause. Their official would gladly avoid having to replace him. The plan is to fund the purchases by cashing in on multiple talents currently on loan.

Our Take on Inter and Zirkzee

Giuseppe Marotta has occasionally pulled the rabbit out of a hat, but the only way he’s a realistic target is if Thuram leaves. And they probably wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket with that kind of income. Moreover, a slippery second striker would mesh even better with their other players.
