Best Overall PosterConte wants to take €85m striker from Arsenal as Lukaku alternative
Inter Milan are set to turn their attentions to Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to concerns over the asking price for Romelu Lukaku.
Antonio Conte was said to be interested in Lukaku as one of his first signings since taking over at Inter, with star striker Mauro Icardi potentially on his way out. However, doubts have now arisen over Manchester United’s £80m valuation of the Belgian centre-forward, meaning the former Chelsea boss may have to look elsewhere.
According to TMW, one name that Inter are considering as an alternative is Aubameyang, who may be tempted to leave Arsenal after their loss in the Europa League final meant they missed out on Champions League qualification for next year.
The Gabonese striker – who spent time with Inter’s rivals AC Milan as a youth player – has scored an impressive 41 goals in 65 games for Arsenal since joining from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018, and has a contract until 2021. However, Inter may have to wait until next month before bidding for him due to Financial Fair Play scrutiny – unless they can quickly get high earners like Icardi off the books.
Inter are also reportedly in negotiations with Roma for ex-Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, with the Bosnian expected to leave the capital before the expiration of his own contract next year.
