Inter Milan transfer focus: Ademola Lookman remains top target

Talks with Atalanta are stalled, but Inter Milan could revisit the deal if the price is set, while Chivu prepares for a five-striker squad

Sky Sport via Fcinter1908 provides updates on Inter Milan’s transfer market, focusing on the attack, with Ademola Lookman as the main target.

"At the moment nothing is moving: Inter Milan is sticking to its position on the official offer, which was politely rejected. 

The club expects some signal from Bergamo: the situation with Atalanta needs to reopen.

Inter Milan officially indicates it does not want to go beyond its current stance, but if Atalanta decides to set a price and sell him — and I believe they are seriously considering it — then the discussion on the transfer fee could return to the table to see if Inter Milan will need to make an extra effort. But for now, everything is on hold."

From Lookman negotiations to Taremi’s potential exit, Inter Milan reshapes its attack for a younger and more unpredictable future

"Chivu is working on a different kind of attack, younger and more unpredictable: Taremi is set to leave, and if his departure becomes official, that spot will need to be filled because Inter Milan has understood that with only 4 forwards it cannot go all the way. 

Chivu’s plans also suggest that an extra striker will often be needed in the starting eleven: this is why there will be five forwards completing the squad."
