Inter intend to add a midfielder after the Lazar Samardzic fiasco and could make a run at Khephren Thuram, who’s being pursued by Juventus too. Landing his brother Marcus earlier in the summer could help them out. However, Nice set a very high price tag for their starlet, Corriere dello Sport informs (via Tuttomercatoweb).
The French outfit reportedly requested €40M when the Bianconeri came knocking. They don’t want to sell one of their centerpieces this late in the summer. La Beneamata would have spent roughly half that much for the Udinese starlet.
Samardzic is back in Friuli after failing to finalize the move to Inter, which have completely moved on, as the inquiry for Thuram further testifies. According to Il Messaggero Veneto (via OneFootball), the Zebrette will try to orchestrate his departure with a different side.
Juventus and Napoli were eyeing him beforehand. Both could still add to their midfield. The Partenopei are in advanced talks for Gabri Veiga, but they have yet to seal the deal.
Our Take on Inter, Thuram, and Samardzic
La Beneamata has bolstered the position enough with Davide Frattesi and should use their resources elsewhere unless they find another bargain. The Udinese prodigy was it considering the formula, while the French one is likely too pricey. The Partenopei should definitely take a look, as they’d save a lot compared to their primary target.
