Report – Inter Milan Eyeing Up Roma Midfielder As Talks For Atalanta Talisman Stall | OneFootball

Inter Milan are reportedly considering a move for Roma midfieleder Manu Kone with talks for Ademola Lookman at a standstill.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri may change their strategy if they’re unable to sign Lookman.

Inter Milan have been trying to sign Ademola Lookman for a better part of a month now.

However, as Sky Sport Italia note, there have been no contacts between the Nerazzurri and Atalanta for a week now.

Therefore, Inter now feel that their pursuit of Lookman has completely stalled.

In the meantime, Inter are considering a change in strategy, reports Sky Sport Italia.

The Nerazzurri have been very happy with the performances by Ange-Yoan Bonny and Francesco Pio Esposito in training.

Furthermore, Inter have plenty of midfielders who can play in an attacking midfield role. These include Davide Frattesi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Piotr Zielinski, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicola Zalewski.

Therefore, Inter may well have enough options to fill the attacking position in Cristian Chivu’s 3-4-2-1 formation.

On the other hand, there are persistent doubts about whether the Nerazzurri have enough defensive steel and athleticism in holding midfield.

Therefore, reports Sky Sport Italia, Inter could instead shift gears to target Roma midfielder Manu Kone.
