Mid-style: Lukeman will not affect Inter Milan s defense budget, and is willing to offer Leoni 30 million euros + 2 Euros

July 18th According to the "Milan Sports Daily", Inter Milan's bid for Lukeman will not affect the club's recruitment budget at the defender position, and Inter Milan will continue to try to introduce Leoni.

This week, multiple media reported that Inter Milan intends to buy Atlanta striker Lukeman. Some fans are worried that this will lead to insufficient budget for Inter's defender signings, but the Milan Sports Daily revealed that Inter's bid for Lukeman will not affect the club's bid for Leoni at the same time. The 18-year-old defender is still the first choice for Inter's defense line, and Inter's budget for Leoni is still 30 million euros.

In fact, Inter Milan had been paying attention to Leoni last summer, but Parma signed Leoni from Sampdoria at that time. After Zivo became the head coach of Parma in February this year, he promoted Leoni to Parma's main central defender and performed well. Leoni is young and has great potential, which is in line with Inter Milan's recruitment strategy for future talent investment, and Inter Milan coach Zivo also hopes to cooperate with Leoni again.

"Milan Sports" said Inter Milan is willing to offer Leoni 30 million euros, while Parma's current asking price is 40 million euros. However, Inter Milan can join forward S-Esposito in the transfer negotiations. Inter Milan has discussed this suggestion with Parma on Thursday and hopes to convince Parma to release the person. In addition, Liverpool is also paying attention to Leoni, but there is no official offer yet.

While struggling to buy Leoni, Inter Milan will also prepare alternative plans. "Milan Sports" said Inter Milan Sports Director Osilio has been paying attention to Genoa defender Derwinter for some time. Genoa is willing to sell the 23-year-old Derwinter to Inter Milan for only 25 million to 30 million euros in transfer fees. In addition, Feyenoord's defender Hantsko is also a candidate for Inter Milan, and his price is also 25 million to 30 million euros. However, Hanzko is 27 years old. Compared with Leoni and Derwinter, he has more experience but has less development potential.
