Folarin Balogun one of Inter’s possibilities not Lukaku – Director Piero Ausilio

Inter currently hold the leading position in the pursuit of the USMNT forward, following
Arsenal’s dismissal of a €30 million (£26 million/$33 million) bid from Monaco on Monday.

As the transfer deadline day draws nearer, Arsenal might consider reducing their initial asking price of €50 million (£43 million or $55 million) to €40 million (£34 million or $44 million).

Meanwhile, the Serie A champions are actively exploring alternative options for a striker, a statement confirmed by the club’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio.

However, it’s worth noting that Inter has ruled out the possibility of re-acquiring Romelu Lukaku.


Speaking to Sport Mediaset, Ausilio said: “We’re looking for someone who can score goals. Balogun? He is one of the possibilities, but we’re not just following him. Lukaku? I’m not interested.”

In case Inter miss out on Balogun, they have identified Udinese forward Beto, who is valued at €30 million, and Porto’s Mehdi Taremi, who is also wanted by Tottenham if Harry Kane leaves for Bayern Munich.

Alvaro Morata’s name was also on the club’s shortlist, but the Spaniard is close to extending his stay at Atletico Madrid.


Simone Inzaghi’s side will be next seen in action in an international friendly against Red Bull Salzburg on Wednesday.
