Inter Milan edge ahead of Juventus in battle for Man Utd youngster Tahith Chong

Inter Milan are in negotiations with Manchester United youngster Tahith Chong over a Bosman move.

FCInterNews.it says the 20-year-old will become a free agent in the summer when his contract at Old Trafford expires and he has no intention of signing a new deal with the Premier League outfit.

Inter and Juventus are eyeing a move for the United starlet and negotiations with the Nerazzurri are going well as they are edging closer to meeting his salary demands.

The salary offered is coming to £1.3million per season initially, whereas the player himself wants £1.7m plus bonuses.

The problem in Inter's way, however, is reported to be how much commission Chong's agents are requesting.

It is reported they originally demanded £5.9m but have since dropped that figure to £4.2m. However, it is still a very long way off from the £1.5m Inter are looking to pay.
