Transfer: Inter chasing Folarin Balogun, not interested in Lukaku

Inter Milan sporting director, Piero Ausilio, has admitted they are interested in signing Folarin Balogun from Arsenal this summer.

The Serie A side are currently the frontrunners to sign the American after the Gunners rejected a bid from Monaco worth €30 million (£26m/$33m) on Monday.

Arsenal could reduce their asking price of €50m (£43m/$55m) to €40m (£34m/$44m) as the transfer deadline day approaches.

In the meantime, the Serie A giants are exploring other striker options as confirmed by the club’s sporting director Piero Ausilio, although they are not considering re-signing Romelu Lukaku.

Speaking to Sport Mediaset, Ausilio said: “We’re looking for someone who can score goals. Balogun? He is one of the possibilities, but we’re not just following him. Lukaku? I’m not interested.”
