Inter May Be Willing to Sacrifice Star to Overhaul Attack

The Inter front office is dissatisfied with the recent performance of the attack and wishes to retool it in the summer. The frontline struggled in particular in the Liverpool game. The directors would like to add some European flair to do better in the Champions League, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

In particular, two regulars are under scrutiny: Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez. The former has not scored on open play since mid-December. He has never hit the net in seven matches in the top continental competition. His numbers are slightly worse than at the same point of last season. He continues to be very streaky one way or the other. Considering his substantial price tag, cashing in on him might be in the cards since it would bankroll multiple additions.

The Chilean veteran has been productive when healthy. However, he has often shown signs of malcontent with the fact that he is primarily a backup, plus he has large wages. Inter are in pole position to sign Gianluca Scamacca to bolster their attack. However, the management is aware that he could not fix the problems on his own.

The Nerazzurri would be ready to pounce if Paulo Dybala left Juventus. Moreover, they are tracking Jonathan David, who has shined at Lille in the last 18 months. His agent has announced that he will depart in the summer. He has an expensive price tag, but still lower than the potential earnings from the sale Lautaro Martinez. His traits would mesh well with Edin Dzeko and Joaquin Correa.
