Inter Milan Only Willing To Send Ex Lazio Flop To Panathinaikos On One Condition | OneFootball

Inter Milan would be happy to offload Joaquin Correa to Panathinaikos, but they still set one key condition for the operation to go through.

The Argentine returned from a disastrous loan spell at Olympique Marseille only to find himself at the bottom of the pecking order at Simone Inzaghi’s court. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic are all ahead of him.

The Nerazzurri tried to rid themselves of the 30-year-old’s wages in the previous months but to no avail.

Nevertheless, as long as the transfer market remains open in some countries, there remains a glimmer of hope.

In recent days, Panathinaikos emerged as a possible destination for the former Sevilla and Lazio man.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews, Correa has the characteristics that the Greek giants are currently seeking.

The transfer session in Greece will last until September 11th. Therefore, the two clubs still have some time on their hands to sort out a deal.

However, the Roman newspaper notes that Panathinaikos must first offload their Slovenian striker Andraž Šporar to make room for Correa.

Inter Milan Not Willing To Cover The Salary Of Panathinaikos Target Joaquin Correa

On the other hand, Inter insist they’re not willing to contribute to the player’s wages.

The Argentina international earns 3.5 million euros per season. The Nerazzurri have already paid him for the first two months of the campaign.

Therefore, Panathinaikos would have to cover the player’s entire salary for the deal to go through.

On the other hand, the Italian champions are taking a less rigid stance regarding the transfer fee.

Inter must collect 8 million euros to avoid registering a capital loss on the balance sheet. But they might be willing to accept a lower figure.
