Inter Milan are not only eyeing Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, but are also pursuing RB Leipzig's highly-rated attacking midfielder Xavi Simons in their search for a top-quality second striker.

While Ademola Lookman from Atalanta remains on their radar, discussions are also ongoing with super-agent Ali Barat regarding Simons’ availability.

The player has two years left on his current contract with the German club, but RB Leipzig may be open to a sale this summer. 

They are reportedly reluctant to allow Simons to enter the final year of his deal, which would reduce his market value significantly. Therefore, a transfer during this window is considered a realistic scenario.

Potential Move adds creativity and versatility to Inter Milan’s attack

Xavi Simons has earned praise across Europe for his intelligent movement, sharp dribbling, and mature performances well beyond his age. 

He made a significant impact in the Bundesliga, showcasing his adaptability and flair, capable of playing both centrally and out wide.

Negotiations between Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio and Barat are ongoing. Simons could represent a long-term investment for Inter Milan, offering a mix of youth and quality to reinforce the team’s attacking department.

A move to Inter Milan would also provide Simons with a platform to shine on the biggest stages in both Serie A and the Champions League.
