Lille defender Thiago Jallow has agreed to join Inter Milan but wants guaranteed playing time, while Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are waiting. This is a report from the print edition of the Milanese newspaper Sport today, from FCinternews. Inter Milan have been aggressively chasing 23-year-old Portugal youth international Jalo.
The defender's contract with Lille expires at the end of June next year. He has made it clear that he will not extend his contract. As a result, the Nerazzurri feel the opportunity to sign Jallow on a free transfer next summer. The contact with the representatives of the players was very positive. Jallow was very receptive to the idea of joining Inter after his contract with Lille expired. This has given the Nerazzurri a dominant position in the signing of the Portuguese. But that doesn't mean Inter are the only team still hoping to sign Jallow next summer.
From Inter's point of view, the key factor is Jarlow's own aspirations. The 23-year-old has made it clear that he wants to join Inter Milan. Negotiations with Jallow and his entourage have gone well and the Nerazzurri have convinced the Portuguese that they are the right destination for him next season. In terms of personal conditions, Inter's ** has convinced Jarlow. The same goes for their overview of the project and his place in it. However, with Jallow fresh from a knee injury that has kept him out of action for months, the defender's thirst for playing time could also be key.
Firstly, Jallow is hoping to get playing time for the rest of the season. Secondly, the 23-year-old is expected to play an important role at Inter Milan. If the defender changes his mind, then Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain will all be ready to try and poach him from Inter.
