Inter Milan's interest in another young Argentine footballer: Tomas Esteban Cuello
While negotiating with Paris Saint-Germain to incorporate Javier Pastore, Inter Milan is working much more quietly to add another Argentine footballer, much less known, but with a promising future: Tomás Esteban Cuello.
According to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, the sports director of the Milanese club, Piero Ausilio, has already met with Marcelo Simonian, representative of Pastore, not only to finalize the management for the player from Córdoba, but also to advance in negotiations for the young midfielder from Atlético Tucumán, who is 17 years old.
According to the Gazzetta, Inter, which does not have as big of a budget as other major European clubs in this transfer market, is targeting young players to strengthen their squad. Among them is Cuello, who is also being observed by several Spanish clubs and Porto from Portugal.

Who is this kid who generates so much interest in the Old Continent? The first player born in the year 2000 to debut in the Argentine First Division: he did it on April 16, in the match that Atlético Tucumán won 1-0 against San Lorenzo.
Since then, the young man born in San Miguel de Tucumán has played seven matches with the Decano: four in the local tournament, two in the Copa Sudamericana, and one in the Copa Libertadores.

In addition, he has already been called up to the U20 pre-selection led by Nicolás Diez and participated as a sparring partner for the senior national team during the tour that the team led by Jorge Sampaoli carried out in Australia and Singapore last June.
Cuello is not the first young project from Argentine football that Inter is interested in, as in mid-2017 they acquired Facundo Colidio from Boca Juniors for 8 million dollars.
