Inter Milan are reportedly targeting Rasmus Højlund in the upcoming summer transfer window as they look to strengthen their attacking options. The Danish striker has emerged as a primary target for the Serie A giants.
However, a direct purchase from Manchester United appears unlikely due to the high transfer fee involved. As a result, Inter are exploring alternative strategies to secure the player’s services.
The 22-year-old forward previously impressed during his stint with Atalanta before making the move to Old Trafford. Despite flashes of potential, his performances in the Premier League have yet to meet expectations.
Inter see an opportunity to bring Højlund back to Italy and are currently working on a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season.
The Nerazzurri are short on attacking depth following the departures of Marko Arnautović and Joaquín Correa. Additionally, Mehdi Taremi is also expected to leave the club, increasing the urgency to reinforce the frontline.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have identified two main targets. In addition to Højlund, they are reportedly close to finalizing a deal with Parma for young striker Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Nevertheless, Højlund remains their top priority. He is seen as an ideal backup for Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram, with a loan move representing the most viable solution.
