Man United Transfer News: Inter Milan’s interest in Serie A striker can end £80 million deal with Manchester United

Man United Transfer News: Inter Milan’s interest in Roma striker Edin Dzeko can end £80 million deal for Manchester United’s sensation.

Inter Milan were negotiating to buy Manchester United’s star striker Romelu Lukaku, as the new Nerazzurri manager Antonio Conte has openly shown interest in the Belgian International.

However, Manchester United’s alleged rejection of all offers is drawing the Italian outfit away from the negotiation. Hence, Inter Milan have been able to spot another player who can be a viable signing for Conte.

According to a report by the Football Italia, Inter Milan are considering to buy Edin Dzeko, as the Bosnian striker is ready to leave Roma for the Nerazzurris, as claimed by Dzeko’s national team coach.

In a conversation with Passioneinter, The national team coach of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Robert Prosinecki gave a new angle to Inter Milan’s search for a new striker this summer.

“For me, he is certainly, even today, one of the best strikers in the world,” the former Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder told Passioneinter.com.

“I’d really like it if he went to a club where he had more chances to win trophies. Inter are a great team, with a Coach like Conte. He’s one of the best strikers I’ve ever seen at work. It’s not just because he’s playing for Bosnia, I’ve been following him for a long time.”

He’s done great things wherever he’s played, from Roma and Wolfsburg to Manchester City, scoring lots of goals and showing real class.”“We’ve talked about Inter often. Even a little while ago, we talked about his situation and his move to Inter.” he added.

“Without taking anything away from Roma, who are also a great club, he now has the chance to go to Inter, where he can achieve bigger objectives than he could in the Italian capital.”

“He’s still at a good age and he has 2-3 years at the highest level left in him. Conte told me Dzeko was one of the strikers he wanted, and he’ll surely will enjoy great success with the Nerazzurri. We talk about Inter and his current situation very often.”

With Dzeko being targeted by Inter Milan, it certainly threats Lukaku’s move to San Siro, as both the striker play same role, with similar playing style. Moreover, since Dzeko will probably cost much cheaper, the Italian club might find Dzeko more viable to further pursue.
