Inter Milan has reportedly joined AC Milan in expressing interest in Arsenal’s young striker, Folarin Balogun.
The 21-year-old had a successful loan spell at Reims in the current season, scoring double-digit goals in the French top flight.
Despite his promising performances, it appears that Arsenal may not have had concrete plans for Balogun to develop and flourish within the club. Consequently, Arsenal could be open to offloading him for the right price, which has attracted attention from several clubs.
Gazzetta reports that Inter Milan has identified Balogun as an important summer target as they seek to find a replacement for Joaquin Correa. Correa has struggled with injuries during his time at the Milan club, and they are planning to part ways with him at the end of the current Italian season.
This development suggests that both Milan clubs are interested in acquiring Balogun’s services, indicating his growing reputation and potential in European football.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We are very likely to offload Balogun at the end of this term because he will not sit on the bench at the Emirates again and the attacker is possibly not good enough to lead the line for us in the Premier League.
The more suitors he has, the better our chances of making good money from his departure and we would be smart to keep our options open on the move.

Yes sell him for £35 Mill with some sort of ridiculous clause similar to what the Citizens has in Romeo Lavia contract to Southampton.
If arsenal sell him we are going to regret it because he is going to be a magnificent striker remember I said it here
Do not sell him for less than £50 million. Although He has great stats for a 21 year old player He is even better than the stats show because he was playing in a average team full of greedy players who would rather take a hopeless shot at goal than pass him the ball because they played as individules. I watched every game Balogan played for Reims this year. He played up front with no support and he would make great runs only for his team mates to ignore him and go for goal themselves. If he was in a decent team with support he would have doubled his goal tally to at least 40 goals. If Arsenal sell him for less than the pair for lacazette all those years ago, in today’s inflated market they must be mad. I would sell him for £50 million providing their was a buy back clause of no more than £70 million. So what ever price they sell him for they should ensure the buy back clause is no more than an addition £20 million over the price they sell him for. Which is only fare.
Arteta, will not let him go
Arsenal will sell him this summer but may insert a buy back option.
