Inter Milan Set to Seal Ange-Yoan Bonny Signing from Parma

Inter Milan are close to signing Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma, with only a few details left. The French striker will join on a long-term contract before the Serie A season starts.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bonny, a 21-year-old striker, impressed in Italy’s top division last season. Inter and Parma have agreed on his transfer for €23 million, with €3 million in add-ons. He will sign a five-year contract until June 2030, earning around €2 million per year. One of his most notable performances came in March when he scored the only goal in a win at Juventus, Parma’s first away victory against Inter’s arch-rivals since 1990. Inter were frontrunners to sign Bonny, despite interest from teams like Stuttgart, and only need to complete a few formalities before making the transfer official.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Bonny joins a team that finished second in Serie A last season, just behind Napoli. Under head coach Cristian Chivu, Inter is rebuilding after Simone Inzaghi’s departure. Bonny netted six goals and assisted four more in 37 league matches last season, helping Parma avoid relegation with a 15th-placed finish.

His signing adds depth and youth to Inter’s attack. With Inter starting their campaign in mid-August, they hope to win the Scudetto and perform well in Europe.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Inter’s next match is the Serie A season’s opening fixture, with Bonny aiming to make an instant impact. Chivu will decide whether to include him in the team for the Club World Cup’s knockout stages or let him settle before the league starts.

With Napoli, Juventus, Atalanta and AC Milan as top competitors, Bonny’s successful integration and performance are vital for Inter’s title push.
