Last week, Watford director Gianluca Nani lauded Yaser Asprilla, emphasizing his potential and likening him to the ‘new Bellingham’, a statement that caught the attention of local media.
In an interview with Italian media, Nani’s appraisal of the young player generated significant buzz. Now, InterLive, an outlet, reports on these remarks, suggesting that Inter Milan has its sights set on the Watford talent. However, details regarding this pursuit are sparse, with the website indicating uncertainty about the likelihood of a ‘summer assault’.
While Nani had previously disclosed interest from several clubs in Asprilla, Inter Milan’s interest is a recent development. Asprilla, acquired by Watford for a modest €3m from Envigado in 2022, showcased impressive form this season, tallying six goals and eight assists in 47 appearances for the Hornets. Consequently, Transfermarkt now values him at €8m.
The impending question revolves around the potential fee Watford would demand should European powerhouses seek his signature. With his contract extending until 2026, Asprilla’s future remains uncertain amidst growing interest from top-tier clubs.
