國際米蘭追求馬爾科·帕萊斯特拉的計劃正面臨擱淺風(fēng)險，亞特蘭大對這名邊翼衛(wèi)的要價超過5000萬歐元，英超的紐卡斯?fàn)柭?lián)和曼城也對球員虎視眈眈，可能直接將藍(lán)黑軍團(tuán)擠出競爭。（原文：Inter’s pursuit of Marco Palestra is at serious risk of collapse, with Atalanta demanding in excess of €50 million for the wing-back and Premier League interest from Newcastle United and Manchester City threatening to price the Nerazzurri out of the running entirely.）

帕萊斯特拉已經(jīng)進(jìn)入國際米蘭的視野，被確定為接替鄧弗里斯的主要人選。后者即將轉(zhuǎn)會皇家馬德里，而帕萊斯特拉上賽季租借至卡利亞里期間的表現(xiàn)讓人眼前一亮。不過，眼下的這筆交易遠(yuǎn)沒有想象中那么簡單，外界已經(jīng)開始將其與國際米蘭去年夏天求購盧克曼失敗的經(jīng)歷相提并論。（原文：Palestra has emerged as Inter’s primary target to replace Denzel Dumfries following his imminent move to Real Madrid, with the youngster having impressed on loan at Cagliari last season. However, the operation is proving far more complicated than initially anticipated, with parallels already being drawn to the club’s failed pursuit of Ademola Lookman last summer.）

國際米蘭的希望很大程度上系于帕萊斯特拉本人的意愿。據(jù)報道，相較于紐卡斯?fàn)?，這名球員更傾向于加盟藍(lán)黑軍團(tuán)，這給了國際米蘭在談判中一定的回旋余地。但根據(jù)TuttoMercatoWeb的報道，一旦曼城正式提交報價，局勢將完全改變，帕萊斯特拉的心儀選項會轉(zhuǎn)向這家英超豪門。（原文：Inter’s hopes rest significantly on Palestra’s own preference. The player is understood to favour a move to the Nerazzurri over Newcastle, a factor that gives the club some leverage in negotiations. However, that dynamic changes entirely if Manchester City submit a formal offer, at which point, according to TuttoMercatoWeb, Palestra’s preference would shift towards the Premier League giants.）

另一條可能緩解資金壓力的路徑也被堵死了。國際米蘭原本希望將年輕后衛(wèi)馬泰奧·科基加入交易，但亞特蘭大對這名2007年出生的小將并不足夠信服，不愿意接受以球員加現(xiàn)金的方式完成買賣。這意味著國際米蘭幾乎沒有其他選擇，必須籌集超過5000萬歐元的純現(xiàn)金報價。對于一家還必須平衡歐冠獎金損失帶來的財政影響的俱樂部來說，這筆開銷絕非小數(shù)目。（原文：A potential sweetener that could have eased the financial burden has also been ruled out. Inter had hoped to include young defender Matteo Cocchi in any deal for Palestra, but Atalanta are not sufficiently convinced by the 2007-born talent to accept him as part of the package. That leaves Inter with little choice but to find a cash offer north of €50 million, a significant outlay for a club that must also balance the loss of Champions League prize money considerations.）

亞特蘭大此番強(qiáng)硬的立場，延續(xù)了這家貝加莫俱樂部一貫的做派。他們素來擅長從最炙手可熱的球員身上榨取最大價值，目下在帕萊斯特拉的要價上絲毫沒有松動的跡象。（原文：Atalanta’s firm stance reflects a pattern of behaviour from the Bergamo club, who have consistently extracted maximum value from their most coveted assets and show no sign of softening their position on Palestra.）
