Inter Milan are considering a move to sign AS Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche this summer, according to L’Equipe.
With Ademola Lookman’s deal hanging in the balance, the Nerazzurri have started looking for alternatives.
Akliouche has caught Inter’s attention with his brilliant goal against the Italian giants in the recent friendly fixture.
The French forward is one of Europe’s hottest properties, and the Ligue 1 giants are open to selling him due to the growing interest in the player.
However, the Principality Club have outlined a massive price tag worth €70 million for Akliouche and are not willing to budge from it.
Inter will face competition from Bayer Leverkusen, who have positioned themselves as a top candidate to get their hands on Akliouche.
Having filled their coffers with the sales of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Firmpong and Granit Xhaka, the German giants are ready to meet Akliouche’s valuation.
The 23-year-old burst onto the scene after bagging seven goals and 12 assists last season, punctuated by incredible performances in the Champions League and Ligue 1.
Meanwhile, Inter haven’t completely given up the pursuit of Lookman and are finding ways to reach an agreement with Atalanta.
They have seen an offer worth €45 million declined by La Dea, who are holding out for €50 million.
The Nigerian winger, for his part, hasn’t joined Atalanta’s training in an attempt to secure a move to San Siro.
Akliouche has all the tools to succeed at Inter, but his hefty valuation makes him far from an ideal target for the Serie A giants.
The Nerazzurri have shortlisted Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho and Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku as alternative options to reinforce their attack.
