In the grip of big financial worries, Inter Milan is now trying to activate on sales within ten days of the end of the summer transfer window. After the arrivals of Juan Cuadrado, Yann Sommer, Marcus Thuram, Carlos Augusto, Emil Audero, Marko Arnautovic, Davide Frattesi or even Yann-Aurel Bisseck, the Milanese management still have to lock in the final signature of French defender Benjamin Pavard. But Inter must also seek to make some lucrative sales, while the Nerazzurri have already lost André Onana, Marcelo Brozovic, Robin Gosens, Danilo D’Ambrosio, Milan Skriniar and Edin Dzeko, among others. This week, a name comes up insistently for a possible departure from Lombardy: the Argentine striker Joaquín Correa (29), bought 27.5 million from Lazio in 2022, has never managed to prove in the jersey of the Inter Milan and could therefore pack up in the coming days.
According to our information, the suitors are not missing the call to recover the 29-year-old Argentine striker. For several weeks, Torino has been trying to assess the realism of such an operation. The Granata wanted to offer a loan with an option to buy the Nerazzurri but the Milan requests were deemed too high by the Piedmontese who are not sure if they want an option set at 25 million euros, like the management of Inter would like. In addition, if the player agrees to leave the Lombard club, he would currently prefer a departure abroad with the aim of shining to find a place in the national team with Argentina.
Lille wants to give it a try!
If the player’s entourage has already received sirens from the Bundesliga, La Liga and the Premier League, another foreign club would like to give priority to the competition in the last corner of the summer transfer window. Indeed, according to our information, LOSC has been active behind the scenes to gather information about Joaquín Correa in recent days. Moreover, Lille President Olivier Létang even spoke this Wednesday morning with Alessandro Lucci, the 29-year-old Argentinian agent. A maneuver that the management of Inter Milan did not appreciate, preferring that LOSC first negotiate with the Italian club. The transaction remains to this day financially rather complicated for Lille.
Everything remains to be done in this file and the clubs risk fighting until the final gong of the summer transfer window for the signing of Joaquín Correa. To see now if Inter Milan is ready to make some financial sacrifices for the sale of its player deemed undesirable, especially since the Nerazzurri are in a hurry to sell to lock in the signatures of Benjamin Pavard and Alexis Sanchez. The Argentine’s departure would free up minutes and a big salary on the offensive lines, reinvested for the Chilean. If the LOSC intends to stay in the race, the Torino could look elsewhere, at a time when the Turin management is behind on its transfer window and is working on several files in parallel.
