Italian media "Milan Sports" reported that Inter Milan is currently making every effort to promote the most important signing target this summer, Atlanta attacker Lukeman. To reach the deal, the club actively raised funds through the sale of players, with Buchanan's transfer to Villarreal and Taremi approaching the deal to join Botafogo, which became a key step.

The Italian media reported that Inter Milan's management plans to have a new round of direct meetings with Atlanta early next week on Tuesday or Wednesday, aiming to narrow the differences between the two sides on Lukeman's transfer fee. Previously, Atlanta priced the Nigerian international about 50 million euros, while Inter Milan's initial offer was around 40 million euros. With the finalization of some players' sales transactions, the Nerazzurri gained the confidence to increase the offer.

The in place of funds is the key to Inter Milan's quotation increase. The Canadian side wing Buchanan's transfer to La Liga Villarreal has basically been completed, with the transfer fee of 8.5 million euros. At the same time, Inter Milan successfully retained the 20% share of the player's future transfer fee. On the other hand, Iranian center Taremi is also close to leaving the team, and Brazilian club Botafogo is in the lead in the competition, coached by David Ancelotti, the son of famous coach Ancelotti. Inter Milan expects to earn between 8 million and 9 million euros from Taremi's transfer. It is reported that Tarremi was allowed to extend her holiday due to her personal affairs and did not participate in the team's recent gathering.

Plus about 10 million euros obtained from the sale of Stankovic to Bruges earlier, Buchanan and Tarremi's two deals are expected to bring a total of 17 to 18 million euros to Inter. This brings the club's recent total raised through player sales to nearly €30 million, which will be directly used to promote Lukeman's transfer negotiations.

Lukeman himself has a strong desire to join Inter Milan. The players have reached a principled agreement with Inter Milan on personal terms, and the two sides have negotiated a five-year contract with an annual salary of 4.5 million euros. Lukeman clearly regarded Inter as his preferred next home, excluding other potential options such as Naples or Atletico Madrid. His team of brokers is also actively communicating with Atlanta, trying to convince the other party to lower the asking price to facilitate the deal.

Inter Milan's management hopes to make a quick decision, with the goal of completing Lukeman's transfer from the end of July to early August to avoid the negotiations falling into a lengthy tug-of-war. The club believes that Lukeman's joining will greatly enhance the team's strength and depth in the frontcourt. His combination with Touram Jr. and Lautaro will become an important weapon to hit various championships in the new season.

In addition to the forward signing, Inter Milan is also considering further enriching the transfer funding pool by selling other players such as midfielder Aslani and forward Esposito. However, Aslani prefers to stay in Italy to play football, which to some extent increases the difficulty of selling.

The funds obtained from subsequent sales are expected to be used to meet head coach Ziwo's need for strengthening the defense, especially signing a new central defender. However, Parma has priced up to 40 million euros for its new star Leoni, which is an overly high figure for the current Inter Milan. Genoa's Derwinter is still one of the potential goals, but at this stage, all the club's resources and work focus will be on completing Lukeman's transfer.
