Report – Inter Milan Add Another Lazio Star To Their Wishlist: Biancocelesti Slap €25M Price Tag On French Midfielder | OneFootball

Inter Milan have reportedly added Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi to their list of targets ahead of the January transfer window.

According to Il Messaggero via FCInter1908, the Frenchman has emerged as Inter’s latest target to boost their midfield options.

Nicolo Rovella was on Inter’s shortlist in the summer amid wild speculation surrounding the future of Hakan Calhanoglu.

However, the Nerazzurri refused to approach Lazio over the Italian star after fending off Galatasaray and Fenerbahce’s interest in the Turkish playmaker.

In addition to Rovella, Inter have been keeping close tabs on Mario Gila, who may be on his way out of the Stadio Olimpico.

Yet, the San Siro giants reportedly won’t try to sign a new center-back in January, prioritizing a move for a midfielder instead.

Therefore, Guendouzi could be an option for Cristian Chivu’s side, though he won’t come cheap.

Indeed, Lazio have slapped a €25 million asking price on the Frenchman, who is no longer non-transferrable.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are also interested in the former Marseille star.
