A ‘great war’ has broken out between AC Milan and Inter over three of the transfer targets that they share, according to a report.
According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan have made an attempt to sign Romelu Lukaku and it is a manoeuvre that forces Inter accused to change their strategy around the Belgian.
Milan also have a strong interest in signing Davide Frattesi, after Simone Inzaghi thought he could start planning for next season with the Sassuolo midfielder pretty much in the bag, and the Rossoneri hope to close his arrival early next week.
However, the counter-offensive to this provocation did not take long in coming because yesterday the Nerazzurri took important steps towards Marcus Thuram, reopening a file that no one at Inter had ever really shelved.
Milan have the Frenchman high on their list of targets but now face competition from the team across the Navigli. This sensational June derby could make for a great film down the line, with developments happening so quickly.
Why have we started this war by reaching out to Lukaku. It’s quite obvious Lukaku is definitively not the profile we are looking for. A war will benefit no one
Its a tactical choice that benefits Chelsea. Milan have a good rapport with them. And if we can kick inter in the balls in the process and make them lose money they really dont have then good XD
A war over an average striker and a terrible striker and a movie too? Ye for sure
I think Lukaku may well end up in UAE, as I don’t believe Inter are overly keen on the outlay of cash for a bench striker
Yeah, it isn’t unlikely that Thuram and Frattesi join Inter as both players would be a better fit for their system. Thuram paired up with another striker and Frattesi in the midfield 3. They both said it at some points of their career.
* it= that they prefer that.
