Fiorentina star Federico Bernardeschi could leave for Inter this summer, as the Nerazzurri have reportedly become favourites to land the 23-year-old.
The winger’s future in Florence remains anything but certain given Bernardeschi continues to stall on whether to accept a new contract that would see him earn €2.5 million a campaign.
Calciomercato.com reports that the Italian is unhappy that Fiorentina want to include a release clause in the deal, and as a result Bernardeschi is weighing up his options.
Inter are favourites to land the 23-year-old, leapfrogging rivals Juventus, after his agent Beppe Bozzo recently met with Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio in Milan.
It’s believed the Biscione are ready to offer wages of €3m a season, though the Viola want €45m for Bernardeschi. As a result Inter will look to include a player in the deal to lower the transfer fee, with former Viola man Stevan Jovetic mentioned as a possible option.
Bernardeschi netted 14 goals in 42 matches in all competitions for Fiorentina last season.
