Inter could opt for Fulham's Adarabioyo over Barça's Umtiti

A few weeks ago, there was talk in Italy about the possibility of Inter Milan being interested in Samuel Umtiti to reinforce their defence and make up for the likely loss of Milan Skriniar. According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Nerazzurri would be willing to take on his salary, lowered after his latest renewal with Barcelona, provided he gets released for free.

However, there is another candidate on the Italian side's radar who seems to be even more appealing to the club's directors. It is Tosin Adarabioyo, an English defender for Fulham, who is considered one of the pearls of the Premier League in terms of age, quality and due to his contractual situation.

The 25-year-old centre-back, with a market value of 15 million euros according to Transfermarket, has played nineteen league games this season, with a total of 1904 minutes and one goal. In addition, last season in the Championship he was also one of the most outstanding players, chosen in the Team of the Year for the 21-22 campaign.

Adarabioyo is 1.96m tall, has pace, good quality on the ball and a great command of the aerial game. These characteristics have not gone unnoticed by Inter and could be a stumbling block for Umtiti. In addition, Adarabioyo's contract with his club is up and he has not renewed, which makes his signing even more interesting not only for the Italians, but for many European teams as his intention is to leave this summer for a team where he can take a step forward in his career.

Inter are aware of the opportunity they have in front of them, which is why they have been monitoring and following the British player closely for some time now, and he is now one of their favourite candidates, above Umtiti.
