Manchester United are edging closer to their third big-money signing of the summer, but INEOS have not been as successful when it comes to offloading their players.
Benjamin Sesko seems to be heading to Old Trafford, but with Ruben Amorim needing another midfielder and a goalkeeper, player sales are necessary to fund those moves.
Marcus Rashford has been the only member of the “bomb squad” to depart, with Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia yet to agree exits.
Sancho has proven to be tough to move on, with talks with Juventus stalling. Former club Borussia Dortmund also re-entered the race, but his inconsistent form and wage demands have meant a move has not materialised.
Sancho, Garnacho set to leave
As for the Argentine, he seems to be hellbent on moving to Chelsea, and as a result, he has already rejected moves to the Bundesliga and the Saudi Pro League.
However, all this has not dissuaded Inter Milan, who have their eyes on both United wide men.
As per the reliable Gianluca Di Marzio, the Nerazzurri are focussed on trying to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. They have already seen a couple of bids get rejected.
But as per the report, they will wait for 10 days for the Bergamo-based side to change their minds. If not, Inter will move on to other targets, which includes the United duo.
Inter have both on their list
“Inter will wait for Lookman for a few more days: as mentioned, the player is not in Bergamo and has not shown up for training. As things stand, Inter will wait a week (10 days at most).
“If the move fails, Inter will start looking at other options: Sancho, Nkuku, Nusa and Garnacho are on the list. Nico Gonzalez is off the list.”
The report does not mention the type of deal the Milan-side will offer. INEOS want permanent solutions for every player.
Garnacho is earmarked for the biggest sale for the Red Devils, while Sancho might leave on another loan but with an obligation or option to buy at least.
