Revealed – Which Fringe Players Inter Milan Looking To Offload To Fund Two Signings

Inter Milan are aiming to fund moves for Ademola Lookman and Giovanni Leoni by selling some fringe players.

This according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.com. They name Tajon Buchanan, Kristjan Asllani, Sebastiano Esposito, and Mehdi Taremi as likely exits.

Inter Milan have a couple more major targets this summer transfer window.

In attack, the Nerazzurri are pushing to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

Meanwhile, in defense, teenage Parma defender Giovanni Leoni is at the top of Inter’s list.

These will not be cheap deals, however. Atalanta want €50 million for Lookman, whilst Leoni will reportedly cost around €40 million.

However, Inter have already brought in a €10 million fee for midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic, who joined Club Brugge. That can go towards moves for Lookman and Leoni.

Furthermore, Inter are not going to stop there.

Inter are also on the verge of a deal to sell Tajon Buchanan to Villarreal on a permanent basis. Reportedly, the Nerazzurri will bring in around €8.5 million plus a sell-on fee for the Canadian.

Then, there is also midfielder Kristjan Asllani. The Albanian international midfielder has some interest in Serie A, and could fetch a decent fee.

The same is true of striker Sebastiano Esposito. The 23-year-old is a target for the likes of Fiorentina and Cagliari.

Lastly, striker Mehdi Taremi is also expected to leave Inter this summer. The Nerazzurri could receive a fee for the Iranian, even in spite of having signed him on a free transfer.
