Moussa Sylla just joined Schalke 04, but bigger teams, including Inter and Juventus, have already started eyeing him, and his club is open to turning a quick profit on him. They paid €2.5M to acquire him from Pau in early July.
According to Bild (via Calciomercato), the two Italian powerhouses sent some scouts to watch him in the most recent game. He got off to a quick start in Germany, scoring thrice and providing one assist in five games. However, he’ll have to miss some time due to a muscular injury.
Director Ben Manga was quizzed about Inter, Juventus, and other sides tracking Sylla already by the publication.
“I think we’ll be able to sell Moussa at a very good price. A departure would hurt us, but it’s our duty to keep an eye on our the next possible purchase. The pathway to get out of this situation will be long.”
Before transferring to Schalke 04, the attacker spent time at Monaco, Utrecht, and Caen. He recorded 15 goals and 7 helpers in his final season in Ligue 2. He can handle every offensive position.
Our Take on Inter, Juventus, and Sylla
Clubs obviously monitor a host of players when the window is shut close, and very few leads turn into real negotiations. Still, the Nerazzurri will eventually have to add a pacey striker next year when Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa will come off the books, and he figures to be a cost-effective option. Instead, the Old Lady will need a deputy striker if Arkadiusz Milik can’t stay healthy or simply wants to play regularly.
