Karim Adeyemi has become a concrete target for the Nerazzurri amid his contractual oscillations at Borussia Dortmund.
Indeed, Adeyemi’s contract at Signal Iduna Park expires in the summer of 2027.
However, despite the club’s efforts to renew his contract, the 23-year-old appears to have other plans.
Reluctant to pledge his future to the Bundesliga side, Adeyemi could be on his way out at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Juventus, who tried to lure him to Turin this summer, remain keen to bring him to Serie A.
Yet this time they may have to beat Inter to his signature.
After the Nerazzurri’s unsuccessful pursuit Ademola Lookmanthey joined the race for Adeyemi.

When asked if Inter were tracking the lightning-fast winger, Marotta replied: “At the moment we are not talking about the transfer market.
“The team is fully achieving its objectives and we are proud of all the players on the team.
“We will review this later with our athletic directors.”

Meanwhile, Inter and AC Milan will trade tackles in a high-stakes Serie A clash on Sunday.
Interestingly, this will be the first Milan derby since the clubs acquired ownership of San Siro.
“A healthy rivalry,” Marotta said. “That’s the beauty of sport. Friends always, competitors for the 90 minutes on the pitch, all in the name of fair play.
“We hope it will be a spectacle for the entire football community.
“This is the first time we have entered the San Siro for the derby as owners, a historic moment as it laid the foundations for the new stadium.
“Great respect for the values that a stadium like San Siro has gained in recent years.”

Finally, Marotta praised in-form striker Francesco Pio Esposito.
“He was already a prodigy in the youth sector,” he added.
“We are proud that he wears the Inter jersey and that he came through the youth system.
“This is an important example, there should be some kind of inspiration for our little ones.
“It shows that you can reach very high levels and represent both Inter and the national team.”
