“You bought him for €20m and sell him for over €100m.
“Or even get €70m to €80m and Arthur. Then I would go for [Edinson] Cavani, who is on an expiring contract and would be best for Conte.
“In addition, there will additionally be money from the sale of Icardi and I would go to Arsenal to bring in Lacazette.
“Lautaro will become even better, however, I would say to him: ‘It was a pleasure’.”
Inter signed Lautaro from Racing in 2018 and have seen him score 25 goals in sixty-six appearances.
Cavani and Lacazette would assist to fill the void if the South American left Milan, with the former now PSG’s all-time leading goalscorer and the latter yet to commit to clean terms at Arsenal.
