Inter Milan are pushing for a deal to sign Club Brugge winger Tajon Buchanan in early January 2024.
This is reported by today’s print edition of Turin’s tuttosport newspaper, FCInterNews, which reports that the Nerazzurri are willing to integrate the 24-year-old into their squad in time for the Italian Super Cup.
Inter’s search for Buchanan is now in full swing.
The Nerazzurri are the only team interested in signing the Canada international. Premier League duo Manchester City and Bournemouth are also interested.
But it is through Inter who leads the attack.
The Nerazzurri have already started talks with Club Brugge and have made an offer.
And the player himself would be very happy to sign for Inter.
The Nerazzurri are confident that they will complete a deal for Buchanan sooner or later. And as far as the club’s preferred timeline, the emphasis is on “sooner.”
Inter could wait until the end of the January transfer window to sign Buchanan.
But that doesn’t sit well with the Nerazzurri, given why they are targeting the 24-year-old in the first place.
Inter are keen to bring in Buchanan very soon so they can build the team on the right flank, a position in which they appear weak at the moment.
The long-term absence of Juan Cuadrado, as well as some fitness issues for Denzel Dumfries, mean that Inter feel that they do not have adequate cover at right-wingback for the rest of the season.
The Nerazzurri may not have any more Coppa Italia matches after being knocked out of the festival against Bologna earlier this month.
But there are still games to be played in La Liga and the Champions League.
Inter will face Lazio in the semi-finals of the festival on January 19.
And the Nerazzurri must have Buchanan as an option and be on the lookout when that happens.
Inter’s aim is therefore to have Buchanan already signed when they face Hellas Verona in the sixth.
