Report – Lens Midfielder Had Agreement With Napoli Before Inter Milan Hijack | OneFootball

Lens midfielder Andy Diouf reportedly had agreed terms with Napoli before Inter Milan hijacked the deal.

This according to French outlet RMC Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan have been working to sign a midfielder in the final couple weeks of the transfer window.

The Nerazzurri had made an offer for Roma’s Manu Kone last week. Meanwhile, they have also targeted other midfielders such as Morten Frendrup and Mandela Keita.

However, in a whirlwind pursuit Inter have wrapped up a deal for Lens midfielder Andy Diouf.

According to RMC Sport, Inter are not the only club from Serie A to pursue Diouf.

Furthermore, the French outlet report that Napoli did not only go after Diouf. They also looked to have an agreement with the player.

However, the Partenopei did not seal a deal with Lens.

Therefore, that gave Inter the opening to move in and hijack the transfer. They have settled upon Diouf as their reinforcement in midfield for the final couple weeks of the summer transfer window.
