Inter director flies to South America to scout emerging talents | OneFootball

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter director Dario Baccin has travelled to South America to scout some emerging talents in the Copa Libertadores Final and other games.

Inter are looking for emerging talents in South America, where Dario Baccin travelled a few days ago.

According to the latest report from Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri director attended the Copa Libertadores Final between Atletico Mineiro and Botafogo on Saturday but will continue monitoring other players across Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.

Former Inter President Steven Zhang alongside Dario Baccin, Piero Ausilio and Javier Zanetti.

Botafogo winger Luiz Henrique scored a goal in the Copa America Final against Atletico Mineiro, contributing to a 3-1 victory. The 23-year-old is one of the potential targets for the defending Serie A champions.

La Gazzetta listed ten more possible targets for the Nerazzurri, from Thiago Almada, a teammate of Luiz Henrique at Botafogo, to Franco Mastantuono, a talented 17-year-old attacking midfielder contracted with Argentinean side River Plate.

Inter’s city rivals Milan are also said to be interested in Mastantuono.

Inter often look to South American talents to strengthen their squad. The most recent one was Argentinean defender Tomas Palacios, who joined the Nerazzurri from Talleres in August.
