From Gundogan to Praet: Inter evaluating midfield reinforcements
Ilkay Gundogan is seen as an ideal colleague for Marcelo Brozovic in the double pivot but it is a difficult operation. The player's contract expires with Manchester City in 2020 and he has asked for a salary of 9 million euros per season, too much for the Nerazzurri.
Other solutions examined are those in Serie A: Lorenzo Pellegrini and Dennis Praet. Both are more suited to a position in a three-man midfield but the can also play in a double pivot.
The Roma man could become a viable track if he does not renew his contract with the Giallorossi, with a release clause of 30 million euros present in the current agreement.
Meanwhile, the Sampdoria midfielder is valued at about 25 million euros and has a more affordable salary and has given signs of being ready to move to a bigger club. The 24-year-old Belgian does not have a long European curriculum but in the past, Inter Milan concluded some positive and beneficial deals with the Genoa-based club.
