Inter interested in signing Arsenal and USMNT forward Folarin Balogun
Balogun’s contract at the Emirates runs until 2025 but he is open to making a move from the Premier League club.
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Inter Milan are interested in signing Arsenal and USMNT forward Folarin Balogun.
Playing with Ligue 1 outfit Reims last season, the 22-year-old scored 21 goals in the French top flight before returning to the Gunners after the end of his loan spell in France.
Balogun’s contract at the Emirates runs until 2025 and Fabrizio Romano reports that he is open to making a permanent move from the Premier League club.
Arsenal have, however, set a high price for the American international forward with Inter expected to make contact for Balogun at the start of next week.
Inter return off
Romelu Lukaku won’t travel to the USA with Chelsea for their summer tour.
The Belgian striker will return to training next week but head coach Mauricio Pochettino and the West London club are prepared to sell the former Inter player for a fee in the region of $45m. A return to the Serie A club is no longer on the cards for the 30-year-old.
