THE BIGGER PICTURE: Inter are eager to bring the 22-year-old onto their books – as American players flock to Italy in the summer transfer window – but they are unable to match Arsenal’s €40-50 million (£43m/$55m) asking price. As a result, a complicated deal that could suit all parties is being discussed.
AND WHAT'S MORE: According to Corriere dello Sport, the Nerazzurri are looking to take Balogun on a season-long loan agreement that would include a €35m (£30m/$39m) purchase clause that will be triggered once the promising forward has hit clearly defined targets.
WHAT NEXT? If Inter are unable to put a deal in place for Balogun, then their attention may shift across London to West Ham – with Italy international Gianluca Scamacca another option that the Milan-based giants are willing to consider.
