Another transfer market derby could erupt between AC Milan and Inter with both clubs keen on Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun, according to a report.
According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio on his site PazzaDiFanta, the sale of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United has allowed Milan to raise funds and their summer mercato is off to a lively start.
After the arrivals of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Romero and Christian Pulisic, the Rossoneri would like to further strengthen their attacking options and the hunt for a striker to alternate with Olivier Giroud has begun.
In this sense there is an interest in Balogun who scored 22 goals on loan at Stade de Reims from Arsenal last season, but Inter are keen on him too having given up on trying to sign Romelu Lukaku permanently.
Standing at 178cm tall, Balogun is a right-footed centre-forward who is very mobile, fast and athletic. From Milan’s point of view therefore, he would be a very different solution to Giroud and would give Pioli more options.
The Nerrazzurri are keen on signing another forward to work alongside Lautaro, Thuram and Correa. The belief is that Balogun won’t be sold cheaply by the Gunners, with his contract running until 2025.
