Inter Milan is close to Mertens , can he replace Lautaro?
Inter Milan has basically completed the acquisition negotiation of Mertens, and Mertens’ agent will carry out some related matters with Inter Milan in the near future.
The contract between Mertens and Naples will end on Fashion 30. Naples has never had an affair with Mertens during this contract period and is rumored to be renewing the contract. Mertens has a pretty good record this season, making 28 appearances for Napoli this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 5 assists. Even so, Napoli did not show the slightest willingness to renew the contract with the veteran. Napoli has no scruples, but there are still teams willing to treat Mertens as a treasure, such as Inter Milan and Chelsea.
Negotiations between Inter Milan and Mertens in the early stage did not go very well. Although Mertens does not need a transfer fee for the transfer, his salary requirements are still not low. Inter Milan’s initial signing targets on the striker were Marotta and Ausilio. However, the voice of Lautaro leaving the team is getting louder and louder recently, and Inter Milan must be fully prepared. Visa-free Mertens seems to be a good choice. At least judging from his performance last season, Mertens will definitely not be a shortcoming for Inter Milan to win the championship. Inter Milan recently finally agreed to Mertens’ previous salary request and will provide him with an annual salary of 5 million euros.
After the fashion, clubs don’t have much cash to buy players, and visa-free and exchange will be the theme of this season. Taking Mertens in his hands while everyone has not yet started Inter Milan, it doesn’t look like a business that can lose too much. After Mertens came to Inter Milan, he could fight with his compatriot Lukaku. The two of them cooperated very well in the national match. After coming to Inter Milan, they can basically achieve plug-and-play, and maybe even show It is stronger than Lukaku and Lautaro.
