Agent Confirms Teenage Inter Milan Defender ‘Has A Lot Of Offers' & Quashes Donnarumma Links
The agent of Inter Milan defender Matteo Cocchi says that the teenage 'has a lot of offers' this summer transfer window. Agent Enzo Raiola spoke to FCInterNews after his visit to the Nerazzurri headquarters. He also denied links between Inter and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Advertisement Young Inter Milan defender Matteo Cocchi is a player with his future in the balance this summer. The 18-year-old enjoyed a breakout season with the Nerazzurri's Primavera, or Under-20, side. Therefore, it seems as though Cocchi is ready to take the next step. He will be playing senior football next season. Where that will be, however, is the big question. There will be no shortage of opportunities. Cocchi could play for Inter's Under-23 team next season. The Nerazzurri are setting the team up in order to give exactly that kind of opportunity to players from their youth academy. However, on the other hand, it could also be possible that Cocchi goes out on loan next season.

(Photo by) Agent Enzo Raiola was at Inter's headquarters today. He confirmed that the purpose of his visit was 'to discuss some players for the Under-23 team.' As far as Cocchi, Raiola said that 'we talked about him specifically.' 'We're evaluating him,' the agent added. 'Because some interesting clubs have asked about him.' 'We're trying to decide what's best for him. Stay, or gain experience elsewhere.' 'There are some offers from abroad,' Raiola said of Cocchi. 'And others from Italy.' 'But it's early now. He's young, and he finished his first adventure with the first team in the US for the Club World Cup a couple weeks ago.' Advertisement 'He'll be back with the first team soon,' said Raiola. 'There's time to figure out which path for him to take.' Then, the agent confirmed that 'some of the offers are from Serie A.' And of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Raiola said 'that wasn't on the agenda today.' 'Inter already have a goalkeeper,' he made clear. 'For now everything's quiet on that front.' 'If PSG sell him that's another story. But right now, it's not a discussion that I started with Inter, as I already said.'

Medics rush in to treat the injured and take the seriously hurt to a hospital. This is a photo gallery featuring some of the best photos from the week's event, curated by Associated Press photographer Bernat Armangue, based in Spain.
