Gianluca Scamacca ‘would not say no’ if Inter Milan advance their interest in the West Ham United striker’s transfer in the summer window.
That is according to CalcioMercatoWeb, which reports that Inter Milan chiefs admire what Scamacca could offer them at San Siro.
The Nerazzurri hierarchy is scouring the market for potential offensive reinforcements with loanee Romelu Lukaku set to return to Chelsea.
Inter Milan have eyes on a transfer for Gianluca Scamacca
Joaquin Correa is also likely to face an uncertain future with Inter Milan. While Edin Dzeko turned 37 years old in March to raise the need for his successor.
So, Inter Milan are determined to find the right striker but must also operate with a limited budget. They may even have to target free transfers or loan deals.
Scamacca is one name Inter Milan chiefs admire despite him only sealing a transfer to West Ham last summer.
The Irons paid Sassuolo £30.5m, rising to £35.5m, and a 10% sell-on clause in July 2022. Yet Scamacca has only scored eight goals in 27 games under David Moyes to date.
Just three of the Italian’s haul have also come during his 16 Premier League appearances.
A knee injury has also sidelined Scamacca since March and could rule him out for the rest of the season. He underwent surgery having suffered a number of knee issues this season.
West Ham would not stop Gianluca Scamacca from leaving
Should the injury keep Scamacca out for the rest of the season, the 24-year-old may have already played his final game for West Ham amid Inter Milan’s interest in his transfer.
The Irons would not scorn at granting the forward a move away from east London already, potentially even on loan.
While Scamacca ‘would not say no’ if Inter Milan were to advance the Nerazzurri’s interest in his transfer from West Ham.
Inter Milan’s position as Serie A title contenders and likelihood of playing in the Champions League stand out to Scamacca.
He would greatly appreciate a chance to compete in UEFA’s premier club competition.
So, Scamacca – who Declan Rice called ‘so exciting’ last October – would find it hard to say no to Inter Milan.
