Report – Exciting Form From Young Strikers Giving Inter Milan Second Thoughts About Signing Atalanta Talisman | OneFootball

The form of Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito in preseason has given Inter Milan second thoughts about signing Ademola Lookman.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter have been chasing Ademola Lookman for almost five weeks now.

The transfer saga between the Nerazzurri, the Nigerian international, and Atalanta has become the transfer soap opera of the summer in Serie A.

Inter Have made two offers for Lookman. First they bid €40 million. Then, they increased their offer to €45 million including add-ons.

And in the meantime, Lookman has tried to force Atalanta’s hand on a move.

The 27-year-old has publicly demanded a transfer. He has also been no-showing training for Atalanta since the start of August.

Meanwhile, however, Inter have been relying on Ange-Yoan Bonnny and Francesco Pio Esposito in preseason.

And the two young strikers have really impressed with their performances.

So much so, the Corriere dello Sport report, that Inter feel that for the first time in two years they can boast truly formidable attacking depth.

Giving the attack more depth was a big part of the reason Inter had targeted Lookman.

Therefore, the Corriere note, Inter may well have second thoughts about the need for them to sign the Nigerian.
