Genoa are weighing up a move for out-of-favour Inter Milan forward Joaquin Correa as a replacement for Mateo Retegui.
This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInter1908.
Correa is now three years into his time as an Inter player.
The Nerazzurri signed the Argentine three years ago from Lazio. He arrived on a four-year deal in the summer of 2021.
Inter spent big to sign Correa, who was an attacking reinforcement after Romelu Lukaku’s sale to Chelsea.
However, the former Sevilla and Sampdoria forward was never able to produce his best form in an Inter shirt.
Last season, Correa was on loan at Marseille. He failed to score or assist a goal, or gain a starting spot at the Ligue 1 club.
Correa’s contract runs out at the end of next June. There would be no prospect for another loan away – Inter must sell him once and for all.
It is not as though there has been zero interest in the Argentine’s signature.
River Plate are keen on bringing the 29-year-old back to his home country Argentina.
There has been interest from Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. As there has been from the Saudi Pro League.
Then, two of Correa’s former clubs have sounded out a surprise return in the form of Lazio and Sevilla.
And recent rumours have also linked the out-of-favour Inter forward with Monza and Real Betis.
Then, there are also AEK Athens pushing to sign Correa this summer.
But another possible contender to sign the Argentine has emerged.
Genoa are on the verge of selling Italian international striker Mateo Retegui to Atalanta. And they are also negotiating with Fiorentina to sell Albert Gudmundsson.
Therefore, Genoa are looking for an attacking reinforcement.
Lazio’s Matteo Cancellieri is one possibility, reports Sky. And then Inter outcast Correa is another.
