Exclusive: Aston Villa linked with move to sign £15million Inter Milan striker this summer
According to Inter Live, Joaquin Correa has plenty of suitors from the Premier League, with Aston Villa reportedly interested in the player. Inter Milan are reportedly open to sale and willing to take a massive loss on their investment.
Inter Milan’s situation with their finances could result in a few notable sales. While they are willing to cut their losses by not signing Romelu Lukaku permanently, they might even let go of a few fixed players on their roster.
Joaquin Correa’s name has reappeared after the 28-year-old Argentine forward was linked with a move away in January. The Inter Milan star has not had the best of times since joining the club from Lazio; he could revive his career elsewhere.
The forward reportedly likes the idea of returning to Spain, and there were links with Sevilla. However, since Jorge Sampaoli’s sacking, the chances of the 28-year-old Argentine forward arriving in Seville have evaporated. He does have some important admirers from England, with Aston Villa, Everton and West Ham interested.
Aston Villa are surging ahead in the Premier League and could eventually make it into Europe next season.
While Unai Emery has had some players performing admirably, there are risks of losing their status on the side. Leon Bailey, for instance, cost Aston Villa a lot of money. But he has been plagued with injuries.
Villa could sell him and bring in an experienced replacement in place. The idea of Correa could appeal to Emery.
Hence he becomes an option considering the price Inter are willing to accept. The Nerazzurri are open to taking a huge hit on their €35 million investment by selling the 28-year-old Argentine forward for €15 million.
