👀 Inter: Chiesa or Lookman? Nkunku leads, ex-Juve man and Nico in mix

The Lookman soap opera has Inter on tenterhooks. The Nigerian talent has broken with Atalanta and only wants the Nerazzurri, but the Goddess is standing firm and the negotiation risks falling through. While Marotta waits for a call from Percassi to understand the player's real price, in Viale della Liberazione, alternatives are being studied: plan B, or rather, plans B and C are already on the table.

As revealed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter's sights are set on Christopher Nkunku, but attention is also being paid to the suggestion of Federico Chiesa. Both are heavy-hitting names, both with top player salaries.

What will Inter do? Will they wait for Lookman or switch to another star for Chivu's attack? The market is heating up, and every move can be decisive.


🇫🇷 Nkunku, plan B

The French Chelsea attacker is the most concrete name on Inter's notebook. After shining at Leipzig, Nkunku has never fully convinced at Stamford Bridge, due to injuries and fierce competition.

Now he's surplus to requirements, and Inter can try to make a move on loan with an obligation to buy, taking advantage of the depreciation: Chelsea wants to break even, around 35 million.

The problem? A salary of 6.5 million net per season. A significant obstacle, but negotiations are underway. If an economic agreement is found, Nkunku can become Chivu's new attacking wildcard.


🇮🇹 Chiesa in Nerazzurro?

Another hot name is that of Federico Chiesa. The former Juventus player, now at Liverpool, is not part of Slot's plans and could say goodbye to England after just one year. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter has been eyeing him for some time, even if his physical condition was not optimal last season.

However, with a salary "softened" by Liverpool and a price tag of around 13 million, he could prove to be a bargain. There's a risk, but also the possibility of finding a motivated top player ready to relaunch himself with the national team. But beware of competition from Napoli...


🗣️ Percassi's words on Lookman

Atalanta's CEO, Luca Percassi, spoke about the Lookman situation in a press conference:

"A year ago, in the face of a 20 million offer from PSG, the player had asked us to be sold. Atalanta, being a credible club, had promised to be able to sell the player in this transfer window based on two assumptions requested by him: first, to reach a top European club, and that in Italy, he would never wear a jersey other than Atalanta's.

Today the situation is very different, but as always, it's Atalanta that decides the times and values of its players."


❌ The Goddess's wall and Inter's patience

Lookman wants Inter and has broken with Atalanta. But the Goddess is not giving up: they have rejected an offer of 42 million + 3 million in bonuses. The Bergamo club feels betrayed and does not want to give in to unfavorable conditions, also considering the percentage to be paid to Leipzig.

The ball is now in Percassi's court. How long will Inter wait before turning elsewhere? The answer lies in the price, which has not yet been officially communicated.


🧩 Market intrigue: Nico Gonzalez?

Another name in the Inter and Atalanta orbit is that of Nico Gonzalez. Not for the Nerazzurri, though, but as a possible replacement for Lookman at the Goddess.

The Argentine from Juventus could trigger a clamorous domino effect. If the Goddess is convinced to bet on him, then Lookman could really get the green light. Otherwise, it will be a stalemate.
