Inter Milan are making steady progress in their pursuit of Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny, a player who has been on their radar even before Cristian Chivu was appointed head coach. The 21-year-old centre-forward is considered the ideal backup and alternative to Marcus Thuram, whose absence due to injury last season significantly impacted the team’s attacking depth. Bonny first caught Inter’s attention in May, when Simone Inzaghi was still at the helm, and interest has only intensified following Chivu’s arrival from Parma.
A potential reunion between coach and striker now seems likely at San Siro. Parma are demanding around €20 million for Bonny, but Inter could reduce that fee by including a player in the deal. Bonny is equally enthusiastic about the move, viewing Inter as the perfect step forward in his career. He contributed six goals and four assists in 37 games this season, helping Parma earn promotion.
