According to the "Milan Sports" report, Oak Fund supports Inter to purchase Atlanta striker Lukeman and is willing to offer 40 million euros.
Inter Milan fell behind in the sprint stage last season and eventually failed to win the Champions League, Serie A and Italian Cup. To make up for the regret, Inter Milan decided to relax the signing restrictions set by the Oaks this summer, willing to spend 40 million euros for a striker, and no longer require new players to be young people under the age of 25. Lukeman is Inter Milan's goal of signing. The 27-year-old striker can compete in multiple positions on the front line and can even play as a midfielder. Inter Milan coach Ziwo is ready to adjust the team's formation and tactics, and Lukeman is a very suitable candidate.
Inter Milan has contacted Lukeman's agent and has prepared a five-year contract with an annual salary of 4 million euros, which Lukeman is willing to accept. However, Inter Milan still needs to convince Atlanta to release the price. Atlanta asked Lukeman for 50 million euros and refused to cut the price. Inter Milan has no official offer yet.
In addition to Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid is also interested in Lukeman. However, Atletico needs to sell Lino to obtain funds before seeking a purchase of Lukeman. Inter Milan is preparing to buy Lukeman first, and there is still enough time to clean up the redundant players on the front line, such as Taremi and S-Esposito. At present, Inter Milan chairman Marlotta and sports director Osirio have agreed to speed up Lukeman's signings, and Inter Milan boss Oak Fund also supports the club to buy Lukeman.
The Milan Sports Daily said that all parties had previously had private contact on Lukeman's transfer, and Inter Milan will officially contact Atlanta next. Marlotta will offer Lukeman a 40 million euro transfer fee, and there is not much room for negotiation for this offer, because Marlotta does not want to get caught up in the long bidding negotiation process. Regardless of whether Lukeman's deal is ultimately successful or not, Inter Milan will use the funds to introduce a player with similar characteristics this summer, allowing the new player to play behind Lautaro with Toulam Jr.
Lukeman himself also hopes to join Inter Milan and is working hard to promote the transfer. Last summer, Lukeman had an affair with Paris Saint-Germain. He had been on the verge of training in Atlanta for a few days. It is worth paying attention to whether Lukeman will use the verge of training again. In addition, the Milan Sports Daily also revealed that Atlanta promised last year that Lukeman would be allowed to leave as long as he received a 40 million euro offer, but Atlanta said that it was just saying that if there was a suitable offer, the players could be sold, and priority would be given to Italian and foreign teams. Obviously, there are still some differences between the parties.
