Inter and Napoli After Manchester United and Parma Strikers | OneFootball

Inter and Napoli are eyeing the same strikers to round out their frontlines, as, in addition to being keen on Jonathan David, they have both been linked to Joshua Zirkzee and Ange-Yoan Bonny.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via Mediaset), the Nerazzurri are probing whether the Dutchman could leave Manchester United on loan with an option to buy. They’d have a year to evaluate him that way. The Red Devils signed him for €40M from Bologna last summer. He’s 23, and his wages are relatively modest, €3.5M per year. He fits the profile of what they are looking for on the transfer market.

Inter aren’t the only ones considering Zirkzee, as Napoli also have in their shortlist for attack, along with David and Bonny, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays (via Gonfia La Rete). The former Rossoblù star ended the season on the mend due to a thigh injury. It’s likely that either he or Rasmus Hojlund will depart. The Dane has played more under Ruben Amorim.

While the Partenopei have been keeping tabs on the Parma starlet all year long, the Nerazzurri have joined the race more recently, Calciomercato informs. He’d have the right traits to deputize for Marcus Thuram. The Ducali are unlikely to put up much resistance if they can record a strong ‘plusvalenza.’

Our Take on Inter, Napoli, Zirkzee, and Bonny

The agent of the former must have gotten to work since the buzz about his future has rapidly intensified. If indeed on his way out, the Serie A teams will flock. Antonio Conte’s squad needs a high-profile striker to manage Romelu Lukaku next season, while La Beneamata can get by with a pair of energetic youngsters.
