Despite facing the competition from Lazio, Inter are still keeping a close eye on Hellas Verona's defender Marash Kumbulla. In the past few days, the Nerazzurri have in fact held further discussions with Hellas Verona over the 20-year-old centre-back, who is currently sidelined with a muscle injury.
The talks between clubs have been constant and the deal is still very much on. Inter's strategy is to try to set out the outline of the deal now and then settle the final details in September. The Nerazzurri have already reached an agreement in principle on the contract with Kumbulla, who could be an important squad player for Inter next season.
Juventus, who was also interested in the Albanian, are not the favourite at the moment. The Bianconeri are also holding contacts with the player's entourage, however they have not approached Verona to open a negotiation.
