Report – Inter Milan Make Manchester United & Parma Strikers Top Targets For Summer Transfer Window
Joshua Zirkzee and Yoan-Ange Bonny have emerged as the top targets for Inter Milan ahead of the summer transfer window. Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the two strikers have climbed to the top of Beppe Marotta's shortlist. Advertisement Inter had tried to lure Joshua Zirkzee to San Siro before Manchester United beat them to the punch last summer. However, the Dutchman's first season at Old Trafford has been a disaster, and he could soon return to Serie A. Meanwhile, Yoan-Ange Bonny has enjoyed an impressive maiden season in Italy's top flight with Parma. The Frenchman has been one of the revelations this term, attracting interest from numerous clubs in the country. Inter Milan Eager to Sign Joshua Zirkzee & Yoan-Ange Bonny PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy.
