To achieve a transfer a tripartite agreement is needed, which always stems from a common timing. So we will see what timing will satisfy all the parties.”
The media has reported that Inter are interested in the player. Is it true?
“We are talking about a top club, which, like all the best clubs in Europe, is focused on the best talents who have a bright future. So yes, we could imagine that Julien is the kind of of athlete the Nerazzurri would be looking for. Like all the strongest teams, Inter want the best players for the team and the fans.”
