Inter readying bid for Bernardeschi

Inter Milan are stepping up their interest to sign Fiorentina hotshot Federico Bernardeschi, Tuttosport can reveal.

The Nerazzurri had established the initial contact during the summer transfer window, and are now ready to act following the disappointing start to the season.

While Mauro Icardi has again been bagging goals for fun, his teammates could only muster 5 goals between them in 10 Serie A fixtures, so no wonder Inter Milan are in the market for attacking reinforcements.

Federico Bernardeschi has developed into a key member of the squad at Artemio Franchi and he managed 3 goals in first 9 league matches.

He has also started one 2018 World Cup qualifier for Italy and is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the country.

Considering that Fiorentina hope to hold on to their prized asset for as long as possible, it is clear Inter will have to delve deep into their pockets if they want to land their target.
