Inter eye controversial move for AC Milan star

 

Inter want to bolster their offensive options this summer and are in talks with rivals AC Milan for the signature of Suso, claims Gianluca Di Marzio.

 

The Serie A giants have already signed exciting Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez this summer and are also close to wrapping up a deal for Roma ace Radja Nainggolan.

 

Luciano Spalletti wants to improve his wide areas and has made prising Suso away from Milan a top priority this summer.

 

Milan failed to secure Champions League football last season and are being threatened with being kicked out of next season’s Europa League due to financial troubles.

 

Gennaro Gattuso’s side may have to cash in on some of their best players to balance their books, which has opened up an opportunity for Inter to sign Suso.

 

The 24-year-old has a €40m (£35.2m) release clause in his existing Milan deal but that is only valid to teams outside of Italy, meaning negotiations for Inter could prove difficult.

Milan have already earmarked a move for Napoli forward Jose Callejon if they fail to keep hold of Suso, while Inter are exploring whether they can include any of their players in a deal to reduce the potential fee.

 

No Milan player has played a direct hand in more Serie A goals than Suso since August 2016 (29 - 13 goals, 16 assists).
