Palestra alternative emerges as Inter weigh move for Nottingham Forest winger Ndoye

Inter are considering reviving their interest in Nottingham Forest’s Dan Ndoye as a potential alternative to Marco Palestra, with the financial gap in the Atalanta wing-back’s valuation showing little sign of narrowing as the summer window progresses.According to Il Giorno, via FCInter1908, Inter remain keen on Palestra and the feeling is mutual, but the numbers remain a significant obstacle.The Nerazzurri value the talented starlet at around €45 million, while Atalanta are holding out for closer to €55 million.Manchester City’s rumoured fascination with Palestra adds further competition to a deal that already looked complicated before other suitors entered the picture.MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 17: Marco Palestra of Cagliari Calcio in action during the Serie A match at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on April 17, 2026 in Milan, Italy.
