Mid-style: Inter Milan is interested in Paris striker Asensio, with an estimated transfer fee of 10 million to 12 million euros

July 9th According to Italian media "Milan Sports", Inter Milan is interested in Paris striker Asensio, with an estimated transfer fee of 10 million to 12 million euros.

Asensio passed Inter Milan twice in the summer of 2023 and this winter window. The pursuit of Asensio aims to provide Zivo with a player who can play in the midfield. Asensio is an internationally qualified and already famous player with little career left and a high-paying contract to be processed.

Asensio will not stay in Paris. He is no longer in Enrique's plan and was previously loaned to Villa. Agent Jorge Mendes is looking for his next home across Europe, and Inter Milan is considering introducing him.

In the summer window of 2023, Marotta tried to contact Asensio, but encountered excessive salary (and commission) requirements. In January, Paris was looking for a buyer for Asensio, Inter assessed the opportunity but failed to find a departure plan for Arnautovic or Correa, and therefore failed to make a move. Now Asensio is the target again.

Asensio's contract will expire in 2026, so Paris will not require high transfer fees, with an estimated price ranging from 10 million to 12 million euros. The obstacle lies in the player's salary: Asensio's current contract salary is 8 million euros net income. So, Asensio must be willing to drastically lower his salary, which is not impossible, as he has only 12 months left in Paris, a multi-year contract and Serie A experience may appeal to him.

It should be noted that Inter Milan is not the only club interested in Asensio, and Fenerbahce has also taken some actions recently. In the new season, Zivo intends to test the 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-2-1 formation, Asensio will be useful.

However, among the forward players, Inter Milan needs to find a next home for Taremi. The player's net annual salary of 3 million euros makes it difficult for him to leave the team. Taremi and Besiktas were linked together, who wanted another offensive player after signing Abraham. Inter Milan hopes to complete the sale as soon as possible and then focus on the signing operation.
