Crotone of Italy striker, Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo (Simy) is attracting summer transfer attention from three top clubs in the Italian Serie A, as he is reportedly on the radar of AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus, megasportsarena.com reports.
Information on offer from The Land of The Azzurri indicates that both Milan-based clubs and their eternal rivals from Turin are eager to snatch ‘Simy’ from the grip of Crotone due to his amazing burst of goals this season.
With the Super Eagles’ fringe player at Russia 2018 World Cup already enjoying his best season ever, with 17 goals to his name in Serie A, and his current contract coming to an end with the term, his prospects of sticking with Crotone appear very slim, especially with the club looking sure for relegation.
The scenario has now opened the former Gil Vicente of Portugal giant up for frenetic transfer speculations heading into the summer window and Fichajes has now reported that Juve, The Rossoneri and Nerazzurri are all currently mulling over a surprise move for the Crotone hitman.
Details of the report via allnigeriasoccer.com indicated that: “It is all but confirmed that Simy will leave for greener pastures at the end of the season as Crotone are doomed to relegation with a paltry 15 points from 32 games in the top-flight.
“The Nigeria international has already put himself in the shop window, scoring seventeen goals, making him the fourth highest goalscorer in the division. The 28-year-old got on the scoresheet in seven consecutive matches prior to yesterday’s defeat to Sampdoria.
“While Inter have earmarked Simy as an alternative to Lautaro Martínez and Romelu Lukaku, Milan see him as a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Juventus want him to provide competition for Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala amid uncertainty over the future of Cristiano Ronaldo.
“The three teams are targeting the Nigerian because he has Serie A experience and has emerged as one of the best strikers in the top-flight this season. He will enter the final twelve months of his contract with Crotone in July meaning they face the prospect of losing him on a free transfer if his contract is not extended.”
