After signing Marcus Thuram and Marko Arnautovic, Inter could bring in a third new striker this summer, but everything hinges on the future of Joaquin Correa. They are looking for suitors, while Alexis Sanchez is waiting in the wings to join them, Tuttomercatoweb relays.
The Nerazzurri have decided to use their remaining funds on Benjamin Pavard rather than a marksman. They had previously probed especially Folarin Balogun when they were considering a pricey acquisition.
The Chilean veteran is currently out of contract after a sound campaign with Olympique Marseille. He’s eager to return but Inter need to offload Correa first. Torino have inquired about the Argentine in recent days. The deal isn’t easy due to its costs. The attacker has taken a few days to mull the move, TuttoSport informs.
The Granata asked for him on loan with an option to buy. His valuation is currently €18M. The Nerazzurri would contribute to his €3.5M wages if the formula was different and envisaged the obligation to make the transfer permanent, the outlet informs.

Our Take on Inter, Correa, and Alexis Sanchez
Torino are no stranger to bringing in quality players on loan but very few stay put afterward. The succession plan would be okay economically and technically, but only if they pulled off the Pavard deal, as rumores; otherwise, they’d better splurge a little offensively.
