Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan is reportedly eyeing a strategic move for Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season with Leicester City. The 27-year-old’s potential availability on a free transfer has piqued the interest of the Nerazzurri.
While Inter Milan has expressed interest in Iheanacho, they are conducting thorough assessments before making a final decision, as reported by FC Inter News. This move reflects the club’s proactive approach in planning for the acquisition of free agents nearly a year in advance.
This isn’t the first time Iheanacho has been linked to Inter Milan, as similar rumors circulated before the summer transfer window. However, no deal materialized, and the striker remained with Leicester City.
Iheanacho, who has shared the striker role with Jamie Vardy this season, demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess with four goals in the Championship. The player, who joined the Foxes in 2017 from Manchester City, addressed speculation about his future, expressing his commitment to Leicester City.
In international action, Iheanacho recently found the net for the Super Eagles in a 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia. Despite his contract situation, he remains focused on contributing to Leicester City’s success.
As Inter Milan evaluates their options, Super Eagles and Leicester City fans await the unfolding transfer outcome of Kelechi Iheanacho.
