Lucescu: Inter beat me to Belfodil
The 22 year old Algerian is currently on loan at Livorno after struggling to find a place in the first team at the Nerazzurri in the first half of the campaign.
“For me, Belfodil has significant potential,” Lucescu told fcinternews.it. “He is an interesting player; in fact, I wanted him last year. I tried to sign him, but he eventually went to Inter.
“Will we come back to him in June? I think it’s difficult. Inter has paid a substantial figure and I do not know whether they want to sell him.
“Mbaye? Sure he is a very good player, but we play with Ukrainian players in defense. There would there be a problem related to nationality.”
Belfodil has made a combined 19 appearances for both Inter and Livorno while scoring one goal.
