Report – Inter Milan Put Off By €70M Price Tag For Monaco Star

Inter Milan are reportedly put off by the €70 million price tag from Monaco to sign forward player Maghnes Akliouche. This according to French outlet L'Equipe, via FCInterNews. Right now, Inter Milan are still all-in on signing Ademola Lookman. However, the Nerazzurri are accepting the possibility that their pursuit of the Nigerian could fail. Inter see Lookman as a perfect opportunity to bolster their attack with a proven commodity from within Serie A. However, they will not break the bank to sign the 27-year-old. And if Inter cannot sign Lookman for what they consider a reasonable fee, they will sign a different attacker.

The 23-year-old certainly impressed in a recent friendly match against Inter. He scored the opening goal within a minute. Therefore, it was not necessarily a surprise to see the Nerazzurri approach Monaco with an interest in signing Akliouche. According to L'Equipe, however, the price tag proved to be prohibitive. Monaco want a fee of €70 million for Akliouche. And that is more than Inter are able to spend.

Why quality non-US stocks are the 'cream of the crop'

Richard Bernstein Advisors (RBA) CEO Rich Bernstein joins Market Domination with Yahoo Finance Markets Reporter Josh Schafer and Interactive Brokers chief strategist Steve Sosnick to explain why he recommends quality non-US stocks that have been overlooked. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination. What are the other companies then, Rich? W- Where do you have your your eyes set on? So for me personally, I think I think the cream of the crop of the companies that are uh growing the same or better and people are ignoring would be quality stocks outside the United States. Look, let's let's set the stage here for a second. I don't think most people realize that the Euro stocks index is up about 20 something percent this year. Germany is up 30 something percent in US dollar terms versus Nasdaq up 9 to 10. Right? So the backdrop is you've already got a lot of performance going on that nobody cares about, but if you look at non-US quality, their growth rate, their anticipated growth rate is the same in some cases better than the MAG 7. They give you 10 times the dividend yield, basically 0.3 versus three, and they're selling at discounts of 30 to 50%. So Josh, the way I'd like to think about it is, if you could buy a Maserati for the price of a Chevy, wouldn't you do it? I think you probably would, and I think you'd probably ask me for two or three of them. Well, that's basically what's going on as the Maseratis are on sale. But Rick, you recently contributed to our Yahoo Finance chart book and so too did Steve Sosnick who's sitting next to me and you just hit on essentially exactly what Steve and I talked about during that project. Steve, you highlighted international stocks, right? And you you pointed out that rally. I mean, what do you make of sort of that side of the trade? Is there still more opportunity given the rally that we've seen outside of the US? Is that an area that you'd still be looking for? I would be, because for the for the reasons uh Rich just said. I mean, there there's a there are a lot of stocks that have been overlooked for years, and certainly you can't one thing you can't say about the the MAG 7 and friends is that they've been overlooked. Everybody everybody who's anywhere, thanks to um just their weights and indexes and FOMO and all these other factors, have been investing in them. So um yes, if you can if you can find these alternatives outside the US or or wherever, well, you know, even in the US, but but generally there's there's more of them outside the US. People have gotten um more tuned to that, um I think, you know, as the as the calendar turned, uh but that trade is not over yet. There there's still there's still plenty of value out there. I'm certainly not going to argue with that.
