Luo Ti: Inter Milan is interested in Leipzig striker Opunta, with a psychological price of 30 million to 35 million euros

July 13th According to the "Roman Sports" report, Inter Milan is interested in Leipzig striker Opunda, with a psychological price of 30 million to 35 million euros.

Opunda is one of the candidates selected by Inter Milan to strengthen the front line. Of course, this premise is that Taremi can find a new home as soon as possible. Openda is not the only candidate, and there is also Nkunku on the list, but due to factors such as high prices, salary level and age, Nkunku has a lower priority at Inter Milan. By contrast, Oponda from Leipzig was considered more seriously.

In any case, these dynamics also confirm the signing direction jointly formulated by the trio of Marlotta, Osilio and Bakin, as well as the new coach Ziwo: the frontcourt requires a "breakout" player who can attack in the midfield, wing or middle, has the ability to break through, and can bring uncertainty and creativity to the game.

Openda is currently having the above characteristics, and is also at an ideal age, in line with the strategic direction established by Oak Capital. Born in 2000, Openda has performed well in recent years in Leipzig, Lens and earlier Vitus, and he still has room for growth and has the potential to improve his ability and market value.

However, Inter Milan also hopes that Openda will reduce the transfer value due to his mediocre performance last season (only 13 goals, down from 28 goals in the German league the previous year). Currently, the psychological price of Inter Milan is no more than 30 million to 35 million euros. The question is whether Leipzig is willing to accept the offer, as they spent €38 million in the summer of 2023 to sign Oponda from Lens, who scored 21 goals in that season of Ligue 1.

Opunda is not just a scoring machine, he is also good at assists, sending 11 assists last season. This may be one of the important reasons that attract Inter Milan. Under Ziwo, the original Inzagi-style 3-5-2 system may evolve into 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2, while Opunda can serve as the midfielder or second striker, circling in the offensive third zone. The key to the problem is still Openda's transfer fee. Inter Milan may first communicate with the Belgian striker's agent team to strive for internal support when formal negotiations with Leipzig. It is also not ruled out that flexible trading methods, such as rental with mandatory buyout clauses, plus a series of floating bonus clauses.

However, before advancing Oponda's transfer, Inter Milan must first resolve the issue of Tarremi's whereabouts. The club currently estimates the Iranian striker at about 10 million euros, and Fulham has so far shown the most specific interest, Nottingham Forest and Besiktas have also expressed interest, and his agent has recommended him to Fenerbahce. Now it's only a matter of turning these intentions into more substantial quotes.
