Overview
- He has debuted in Serie A, the Champions League and for Italy within weeks, scoring for both Inter and the Azzurri after a 19-goal loan season at Spezia.
- Chivu, who has known him since his early teens, has championed his promotion, with reporting that this stance shaped Inter’s market thinking on targets such as Lookman and the Hojlund alternative.
- His goal against River Plate at the Club World Cup in just his second Inter appearance was a key moment that helped secure his place in the squad.
- For Saturday in Rome, he is competing with Bonny for a start, with reports noting Thuram’s injury and Lautaro’s late return from international duty as context for selection.
- One report says he is under contract with Inter until 2030 on about €1 million per year, with expectations of a near-term renegotiation if his trajectory continues.
