Sassuolo are back in negotiations with Inter for Canada international Tajon Buchanan, Football Italia can confirm, and Armand Laurienté heading to Sunderland changes the situation.
We had already stated that Buchanan was an objective for the Neroverdi following their promotion to Serie A over the summer, and that the player was eager to make the move.
The offer on the table had been worth €7-8m with a buy-back option for Inter, plus a percentage of the future sale fee, but it was considered too low at that time.
Why Sassuolo are back in for Buchanan
Things are changing now, especially because Sassuolo are in the process of completing the sale of winger Laurienté to Sunderland.
Now those funds can be reinvested in Buchanan, which is why the talks with Inter are starting to rev up again this evening.
The 26-year-old Canadian plays primarily on the right side as a wing-back or in a more attacking role.
Inter paid €7.3m to buy him from Club Brugge in January 2024 and he spent the last six months on loan with Villarreal, where he tried to make a full recovery from a serious injury.
