Inter have set their sights on Adrien Truffert, but Rennes are in no mood for discounts. The Nerazzurri had a direct contact with the French side in the last few days. However, their opening request was too high for them.
As per SportMediaset, Les Rouge et Noir asked for €20M. Moreover, the Serie A side would like to orchestrate a loan with a conditioned obligation to buy. The counterparty isn’t keen on such formula either. They expect the valuation of the fullback to continue rising and suitors to flock.
Inter are eyeing Truffert and further options for the left flank as they expect Robin Gosens to depart in January. Their budget hinges on how much the sale of the veteran will fetch. They wouldn’t be able to spend much if he only left temporarily. Nice are the latest to take an interest in him, Footmercato relays.
The Nerazzurri have been offered Mitchell Bakker in a swap deal with Bayer Leverkusen, but they aren’t sold on him. Empoli’s price tag for Fabiano Parisi, around €25M, is too rich as well, even though they could include Martin Satriano in the deal. According to Corriere dello Sport (via Tuttomercatoweb), they have scouted Genk’s Angelo Preciado during the World Cup. He’s right-footed but can play on either flank, like Matteo Darmian.
Our Take on Inter Eyeing Truffert
La Beneamata might be punching above its weight money-wise in terms of prospective Gosens replacements. They either anticipate a big haul for their wing-back or have unrelenting faith in Giuseppe Marotta’s bargaining skills. Among the names linked to them so far, Valencia’s Jesus Vazquez might be the most realistic.
