Borussia Dortmund still want to make signings this summer. One candidate is Said El Mala, but the Black and Yellows’ shortlist does not only include players who can help the first team immediately. 

It recently became public that Dortmund are interested in Roberto Scaglione, a young talent currently playing for Genoa. Dortmund are said to be offering around one million euros for the player’s services.

But although the deal already seemed to be in the final straight, Inter have decided in the last few hours to enter the race as well. And not exactly timidly.

Inter make contact with BVB target

Various Italian media outlets, including Gazzetta dello Sport and Sportitalia, are now reporting that Inter have not only made contact with the player’s camp, but have also submitted an offer.

There is currently no shortage of interested clubs, but Dortmund and Inter are the teams most heavily involved in the battle for Scaglione. The player can apparently imagine staying in Italy just as much as moving to Germany. He is generally regarded as a very determined player, a major talent with a lot to offer who could already be performing at the highest level in one or two years.

A lot will now depend on whether Dortmund can present the player with a good offer, especially with regard to his prospects over the next few years. The Black and Yellows can certainly point to their strong track record of developing young players, although there are already many young attacking players at the club right now, such as Konstantinos Karetsas and Samuele Inacio. At some point, things could also become crowded in attack. These are all factors the young Italian will have to take into account.
