Despite an impressive campaign last season, culminating in a Champions League final appearance, Inter Milan recognizes the importance of bolstering their midfield options beyond the current senior team members, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Stefano Sensi, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Football Transfers reports that Inter Milan has identified Iwobi as a potential addition to their squad, but Fulham, another interested party, could pose strong competition for his signature.
Nurtured at the renowned Arsenal academy, Iwobi has spent his entire professional career playing for English clubs, making his potential move to Inter Milan an exciting prospect. The midfielder has expressed a desire to compete in the UEFA Champions League once again, a competition in which he has showcased his skills and versatility in previous seasons.
During the recently concluded Premier League campaign, Iwobi played a significant role in Everton’s success, featuring in all 38 matches and contributing two goals and an impressive eight assists, the highest number among his teammates. His pivotal role in helping Everton secure their place in the top flight was acknowledged as he received the prestigious Everton Player’s Player of the Season award.
With a market value of €28 million, Iwobi finds himself in the final year of his contract with Everton. Although the club has sought to extend his contract, negotiations have yet to reach a conclusive agreement, adding to the intrigue surrounding his potential move to Inter Milan or Fulham.
