With Romelu Lukaku’s time at Inter Milan a bit more complicated than first anticipated, there are suggestions the Belgian could return to his club and stay there once his loan expires.
That means the Serie A side will need to replace him if he doesn’t return, and West Ham United’s Gianluca Scamacca is one of the players they are targeting.
The former Sassuolo striker surprised a few by heading to the Hammers instead of the interested Paris Saint-Germain, and while he did a spell where he looked to be finally adapting to English football, the Italian has failed to convince since his expensive arrival.
Currently out with a knee injury, Scamacca recently saw his relationship with his agency terminated, and Gazzetta dello Sport look at what his future could look like.
They recall Inter were a fan of the player when he was at Sassuolo, but things in the Premier League ‘turned out to be more complicated’ than the player could have imagined.
He’s undergoing ‘difficult times’ in London, who wants to return in Roberto Mancini’s good books for the Italy national team, which requires him to be playing regularly.
This is why a move to Inter ‘could become topical again’, and ‘there could be margins’ for a deal to be struck next summer, ‘perhaps aiming for an expensive loan and taking advantage of the player’s desire to return to Italy’.
If Lukaku were to remain at Stamford Bridge and Joaquin Correa sold, Scamacca ‘could be a good starting point for the revolution’ likely to take place at San Siro in the summer, where they could make use of his ‘great desire for redemption’.
