Genoa keeper linked with West Ham loan option

|

Inter keeper Andrei Radu has been linked with a possible six-month loan to West Ham a report in Italy has suggested.

The Romanian keeper on loan Genoa played last night in the Italian Cup against Torino, but his future at Genoa is said to be limited.

According to FcInterNews.it  there is interest from Italy (Fiorentina and Turin) and abroad (Nice, Arsenal, West Ham) in taking the keeper on loan.

Inter does not want to sell Radu so any loan will not have any option to buy,  they consider him a goalkeeper with an assured future at Inter,

The report claims Inter will look for another club in Italy or in Europe for the keeper otherwise Radu will return to Milan to train with Antonio Conte’s group.

Radu began playing football at age 8 with local Viitorul București, after his grandmother saw a newspaper announcement. He was transferred to FC Steaua București in 2008 for €12,000, and left the club for rival side Dinamo București three years later. At the beginning of 2013 he relocated to Italy, briefly joining Pergolettese before being signed by Internazionale in the mid-2013 and assigned to their junior squads.

In June last year, the then 21-year-old Radu was loaned to Genoa with an option to join the club permanently for  €8 million at the start of the following season which wasn’t exercised. The deal also reportedly included an undisclosed buy-back clause.
