Inter continue to push hard for the transfer of Marco Palestra. The young Italian defender from Atalanta has become the main target of the black and blues, while the player himself has given his approval for the move to Milan, a detail that is considered very important in the progress of the negotiations.

However, an agreement between the two clubs has not yet been reached. Inter have submitted an offer of 40 million euros plus bonuses, but Atalanta continue to demand around 50 million euros for the 21-year-old. For this reason, talks are expected to continue in the coming days.

In recent hours, there has been talk of the possibility of Matteo Cocchi being included in the operation, but according to reports, this hypothesis remains difficult to realize. It seems more likely that any discussion about the new player will take place separately from the negotiations for the Palestra.

Meanwhile, Inter do not want to waste time. The Milanese club is aware that interest in the Italian defender is growing. Newcastle had expressed their willingness to meet Atalanta's economic demands, but did not receive positive signals from the player. The situation could change in the event of a move from Manchester City, who have been closely monitoring developments for weeks.

Juventus also remain in the race, having made preliminary contacts to understand the possible terms of the transfer. For this reason, Inter's management aims to accelerate negotiations and secure the signature of one of the most sought-after profiles in the Italian transfer market as soon as possible.
