Report – Inter Milan Must Make Three Sales To Afford €60M Fee For Atalanta & Brazil Star

Inter Milan must sell Hakan Calhanoglu, Kristjan Asllani, and Aleksandar Stankovic to afford the fee for Atalanta midfielder Ederson.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Brazilian will cost €25 million.

Inter Milan have identified Atalanta midfielder Ederson as the perfect replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu.

The Nerazzurri are bracing for the possibility of the Turkish international heading for the exit door. Galatasaray are pushing to sign him behind the scenes.

And in the event that happens, obviously Inter will want a suitable replacement. For that, they view Ederson as an ideal candidate.

However, Ederson will not come cheap. Atalanta want to cash in to the tune of €60 million on the former Salernitana and Corinthians midfielder.

Inter Must Sell Calhanoglu, Asllani & Stankovic To Afford Ederson Fee

Meanwhile, Inter certainly aren’t going to bring in €60 million by selling Calhanoglu alone.

The 31-year-old should still fetch a decent fee if he leaves. However, Inter will have to compromise with Galatasaray in negotiations.

And, having already spent €60 million or so out of pocket on the signings of Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique, and Ange-Yoan Bonny this summer, Inter will need to “sell to buy” for the rest of the summer.

Therefore, the cash to sign Ederson must come from elsewhere.

According to the Gazzetta, a couple other sales of midfielders could allow Inter to reach the asking price for Ederson, though.

Firstly, midfielder Kristjan Asllani looks relatively likely to leave Inter this summer. The Nerazzurri want a fee in the region of €15-20 million for the Albanian.

Then, Inter are reportedly in talks to sell 19-year-old midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic to Club Brugge for a fee of €10 million.

With these sales, Inter should just about be able to afford to move for Ederson.
