Inter Working to Acquire Two Highly-Rated Center-Backs | OneFootball

Inter have been chasing after Tarik Muharemovic for months and wish to set up the deal before a bidding war breaks out. The defender is keen on joining and has put other sides on the back burner, TuttoSport relays.

The Neroverdi won’t block his departure but want a significant figure. They have to give half of it to Juventus, given the terms of his previous transfer. They acquired him for just €3M a couple of years ago, fresh off a stint in the Next Gen squad.

Sassuolo ask for €30/35M for Muharemovic, and Inter are studying how to get there. They could dangle one of their many starlets on the verge of breaking out. One of the top candidates is 19-year-old attacker Mattia Mosconi.

The Nerazzurri won’t stop at one center-back, as they anticipate Francesco Acerbi and Stefan De Vrij both leaving, Calciomercato informs. They have been keeping tabs on Joel Ordonez for a few seasons and could make an attempt in the summer. They have a good rapport with Club Brugge, with which they concocted the Aleksandar Stankovic deal. On the other hand, the Premier League sides, especially Liverpool, are eyeing him as well. He’s worth at least €35/40M.

Our Take on Inter, Muharemovic, and Ordonez

They’ll need multiple pieces, but it’s hard to imagine they’ll splurge that much for two targets. They have some needs in other roles, and their budget reportedly isn’t that large. Then, obviously, cashing in on Alessandro Bastoni or other stars would drastically increase their ammo. Perhaps they have been very persuasive with the player, but it’d be an unforced error by Juventus if they let him join their rivals without even interfering, given their resale clause.
