It appears that Inter Milan are doing their best to prepare for the future, as they know someone like Edin Dzeko won’t be around forever.
Not only that, but there are still no guarantees that Romelu Lukaku will stay, which is why they are looking at Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
It makes sense on paper, as the Gunners player has had a season to remember on loan at Stade de Reims, but will be returning to the Emirates.
Arsenal need to then decide what they want to do with him, and Gazzetta have a pretty could idea of what that could entail.
It’s stated that Inter have ‘tested the waters’ for the striker, and the ideal scenario for them would be to bring him in on loan.
However, Arsenal ‘want to monetise’ from any transfer, and are ‘asking for €40m’ for Balogun, whom they know has a great market after his loan spell.
On top of that, Edu Gaspar and Mikel Arteta could do with the money as they pursue some expensive transfers, such as Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.
