Author of 15 of the 34 goals scored by Inter Milan in Serie A during the current season, Argentine Mauro Icardi has become the main and almost sole offensive support of a squad that suffers when the striker cannot take the field or goes through a scoring slump.
To avoid this situation causing problems in the future, the nerazzurra entity has decided to start the search for a new striker who can share this considerable responsibility with the talented former Sampdoria player.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, currently, the two attackers who are pleasing the Lombard team are Colombian Roger Martinez (22 years old) and Italian Andrea Petagna (21). The former currently plays for Jiangsu Sainty, with whom he has scored 10 goals in the 12 games he has played. The latter, on the other hand, defends the jersey of Atalanta, who recruited him last summer and has given him the opportunity to play 19 official matches (4 goals) so far.
Furthermore, the Italian entity does not rule out acquiring the services of both players to implement a plan that guarantees the good health of their forward line in the coming years. This would involve incorporating Petagna at the end of the season and sending Martinez on loan to Atalanta so that he can gain minutes and experience in the Calcio and later join Inter Milan.
