Inter Milan are closely monitoring Chelsea’s teenage midfield sensation Mathis Amougou and could make a move next summer if the opportunity arises. According to InterLive, the Italian giants are considering a loan approach for the highly-rated Frenchman, who joined Chelsea on the final day of the winter transfer window.
Amougou’s Rapid Rise and Chelsea Move
The 19-year-old midfielder caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs with his performances at Saint-Étienne, where he made a name for himself with his composure, technical ability, and versatility. His rise through the ranks and impressive displays for France’s youth teams convinced Chelsea to invest €15 million in his talent.
Despite joining the Blues in the winter window, Amougou is yet to make his first-team debut. While he remains highly rated at Stamford Bridge, speculation over his long-term future has already begun, with Inter Milan among the clubs keen to take advantage of his uncertain role in Chelsea’s crowded midfield.
Inter Milan Preparing a Summer Move
Inter are looking to reinforce their midfield for next season and view Amougou as a player with significant upside. The Nerazzurri, who failed in their winter pursuit of Joao Felix, are now considering a loan move for the Chelsea youngster.
While Amougou primarily operates as a central midfielder, his ability to play in a deeper defensive role adds to his appeal. Inter are expected to propose a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy for around €15 million. However, Chelsea are unlikely to entertain a permanent sale so soon after acquiring him, making negotiations potentially tricky.
With Inter eager to strengthen their squad and Amougou searching for a breakthrough, this could be a transfer saga to watch closely in the summer. Will the Italian giants succeed in luring him to Serie A, or will Chelsea hold firm on their investment?
