A week ago, we covered a report from Portugal which said Sporting were interested in the Atalanta United winger Ezequiel Barco.
The outlet claimed the Lions would face big competition for the 20-year-old, since the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United would be interested in him as well.
Now it’s time for the Italian press to have a say on Barco, this time adding two other clubs who would also be following him. Those are Inter Milan and Roma, according to a report from Calcio Mercato.
This is something that should definitely put his price up, although it’s not clear how much Atalanta will demand for his sale. They paid €15m to sign him two years ago, and will want a profit.
Calcio Mercato also adds that it’s more likely the Italian sides would leave the signing for the summer market, so that could perhaps give the competition a bigger chance.
