West Ham rejected the opening offer from Inter for Scamacca, but the two sides will continue negotiating to reach an agreement in the coming days. The Nerazzurri tendered €22M plus €3M add-ons to lure the marksman. The formula could be a loan with an obligation to buy, but the player would transfer permanently.
Per Sportitalia, the Irons demand €30M considering what they disbursed last summer. Roma remain in the race, but they’ll have to tweak their offer, as La Beneamata gained clear separation. The Giallorossi tendered an initial temporary spell with some conditions forcing them to purchase the 24-year-old in a year.
West Ham and Inter could meet in the middle after some haggling. According to Calciomercato, Giuseppe Marotta and co. haven’t completely given up for Folarin Balogun. They will sign two strikers if Joaquin Correa departs.
The management is particularly keen on the Arsenal prodigy, but the Italian marksman is significantly easier to sign. Alexis Sanchez is also an option to round out their attack.
Our Take on Inter and Scamacca
The parties are close enough that some million shouldn’t be an insurmountable obstacle unless some other teams materialize since the fee is still somewhat manageable. The Nerazzurri spending big for two attackers is wishful thinking, especially because they are set to buy Lazar Samardzic too.

Yep, no surprise right there considering he wants out with West Ham wanting their money to closer where they paid him to Sassuolo last year. It’s a mess over there right now so the manager may want someone who isn’t naturally a striker and can play both striker and attacking midfield like Charles De Ketelaere from AC Milan on loan or permanent deal.
