Inter boss Cristian Chivu congratulated Giovane for his outstanding performance against the Nerazzurri on Sunday.

Indeed, the talented striker scored his first-ever goal in Serie A against none other than Inter last weekend.

In doing so, he earned plaudits from Chivu while also drawing Beppe Marotta’s attention.

With Chivu’s endorsement and Marotta closely monitoring his progress, Giovane could soon move to San Siro.

However, it’s worth noting that Milan sent scouts to observe Giovane during Verona’s match against Como.
