PSG Striker Cavani Is Inter’s First Alternative To Lukaku | OneFootball

Edinson Cavani would be Inter’s first alternative to Romelu Lukaku if their bid to sign the Belgian failed, Tuttosport confirmed this morning.

Reports first began circling about the Paris Saint-Germain forward yesterday, who is in the final year of his contract and would therefore cost less than Lukaku.

Cavani earns €12 million annually in wages but Inter could get round the problem by offering him a two or three-year contract.

The Nerazzurri have yet to make contact with El Matador, although other sources on Thursday suggested they had.

Inter have also considered a move for Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata, who would become another option if Lukaku proved unobtainable.

Atalanta would be able to replace the Colombian but his €60 million price tag is considered excessive.

Inter are also skeptical about spending €70 million to sign Rodrigo from Valencia, while Eintracht Frankfurt’s €40-million rated Ante Rebic is not the type of forward Antonio Conte wants.

“The situation is certainly a confused one at the moment,” Tuttosport concluded.
