Inter's plan to nab Chelsea target, Serie A star
Owners Suning won’t, however, pay the €70 million release clause which Fiorentina want to add to the 23-year-old’s new deal.
Suning’s plan is to not spend more than 50m for the superstar, who has enjoyed an incredible season-and-a-half since becoming a regular starter at the Artemio Franchi.
Greatly admired by Juve’s Fabio Paratici, the young Italy star has scored 10 Serie A goals this season, and provided four assists. He even nailed an incredible freekick last week as Fiorentina played in the Europa League Round of 16.
Inter want a young Italian star to head the franchise, but contacts with alternative Domenico Berardi have been broken off for the time being. There are no such problems with Bernardeschi, whose entourage is in constant contact with Inter.
Inter are also offering Bernardeschi a number of bonuses: they’d more than double his salary (from €1.2m to €3m, Fiorentina are offering no more than €2m), and also want to keep the Della Valle (the Viola’s owners) happy by working with some of their business interests in China.
