Italian media: Nkunku s transfer fee and salary are higher than Lukeman, Inter Milan is still confident to sign the latter

According to the market-wide report, Nkunku's transfer fee and salary are higher than Lukeman, and Inter Milan is still confident of signing the latter.

Xavi Simmons is almost certain to join Chelsea and can basically be crossed out from Inter Milan's signing list. Meanwhile, Inter is awaiting the final result on Lukeman's future whereabouts and assessing potential alternatives if negotiations with Atlanta fail.

Among the many candidates, the one technically closest to Lukeman and has not been completely ruled out is Nkunku. He was born in 1997 with Lukeman. In 2023, he transferred from Leipzig to Chelsea for a prize of 65 million euros + bonus.

Compared with Lukeman, Nkunku's transfer fee and salary are higher, and so far, Chelsea does not consider trading methods other than permanent transfers. According to the "Team News", Inter Milan's connection with Nkunku and his team continues, and he may be a more credible alternative.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Inter Milan needs a replacement. In fact, Inter Milan still maintains high confidence in successfully signing Lukeman, and the Neptune will not raise the previous offer price of 45 million euros, especially in the case of "five fruit". Inter Milan's management is quite dissatisfied with Atlanta's failure to explicitly inform the acceptable price when it formally rejected the offer.

Now Inter is waiting for Lukeman to make a clear stand, and yesterday he had deleted all about Atlanta on social media. After that, new contacts may bring negotiations back on track or may completely break down.
