Inter Milan to replace Argentinian flop with Leeds United star

Sportitalia via FcInterNews claims Inter Milan are looking to replace Joaquin Correa with Wilfried Gnonto if they can get the Argentinian to leave the club this summer. Gnonto came through the academy at I Nerazzurri before signing for FC Zurich in 2020.

The young Italian would spend two seasons in Switzerland before linking up with Leeds United where he's burst onto the scene. The report claims Inter want to sign Gnonto on a loan deal with an option to buy following Leeds' relegation to the Championship.

Reports yesterday claimed Gnonto is open to a move away from Elland Road this summer, but is said to favour a move back to the Premier League. Everton are said to be looking to sign the youngster for a cut-price fee.
