On Wednesday, Calciomercato reported Arsenal are offering staggering numbers to sign Joshua Zirkzee in the summer window.
It was also explained that Mikel Arteta could give the striker a starting role, more so after reports in the UK stated the Gunners could sell Gabriel Jesus.
InterLive.it back up the north London club’s interest in the Bologna star and mention their plan B, if a deal for Zirkzee doesn’t materialise.
Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram is the one that Arsenal like the most as an alternative to the 22-year-old Dutchman.
In that case, the Premier League side could offer money plus Jesus in exchange for the France international. The report points out that the former Manchester City man is the old wish of Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio.
It’s claimed there could be a ‘blitz from London’ that will see Arsenal offer €30m plus the Brazilian in exchange for the 26-year-old.
Thuram joined Inter on a free transfer last summer and they would make a quick profit through his sale, but the report makes no mention of the Nerazzurri’s stance on this possible player-plus-cash deal.
Thuram has scored 12 goals and registered 12 assists from 32 league games for Inter and has played a key role in helping them win the title this season.
