Report – Iran Star Could Unlock Inter Milan Deal For Atalanta Talisman | OneFootball

Inter Milan could use striker Mehdi Taremi to indirectly unlock a deal to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

This according to today’s print edition of the Corriere di Bergamo, via FCInterNews. They note that the Iranian’s move to Fulham could enable Atalanta to sign striker Rodrigo Muniz.

Right now, Atalanta are working to complete a deal to sign Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz from Fulham.

Muniz is the player who La Dea see as the like-for-like replacement for Mateo Retegui.

The Corriere di Bergamo report that Atalanta are aiming to sign Muniz for a fee of around €40-45 million.

And in the meantime, Inter are hoping that replacing Retegui will mean that Atalanta open up to the idea of selling Ademola Lookman after weeks of a bitter, protracted transfer saga.

Moreover, the Corriere di Bergamo, Inter may have the domino that would set in motion the chain of transfers that will allow them to finally sign Lookman.

Meanwhile, Nerazzurri striker Mehdi Taremi is a target for Fulham. Therefore, the London club are hoping to beat Leeds United to the 33-year-old’s signature.

Furthermore, if Fulham can sign Taremi, they would feel that they’ve managed to replace Muniz. This would in turn make them more open to accepting an offer from Atalanta.

As such, the Corriere di Bergamo note, there could be a real domino effect between the Cottagers, Inter, and Atalanta in the next few days.
