Inter are poised for a significant midfield reshuffle this summer, with several players potentially arriving and departing according to reports in Italy. While the signing of Alessandro Palestra is nearing completion, the Nerazzurri are actively pursuing multiple additions and considering several departures to reshape their central options.
Aleksandar Stankovic has already returned to Inter, with the club exercising a €23 million buyback clause to bring the player back to Milan. However, his future remains uncertain, as he aims to prove himself during pre-season training despite interest from other clubs. The club is also awaiting positive news regarding Morgan Gibbs-White from Liverpool, with the player reportedly keen on a move to Italy.
Inter are also exploring potential outgoings to fund their transfer activity. Denzel Dumfries’ move has been completed, and Luis Henrique continues to attract attention from Bournemouth. More significantly, Davide Frattesi is a target for Nottingham Forest, though he is also waiting to see if any opportunities arise within Serie A. The report indicates that Niccolò Pisilli, a 2004-born midfielder from Roma, has emerged as a potential alternative should the pursuit of Gibbs-White stall. Pisilli is highly regarded by Inter assistant coach Cristian Chivu.
Key midfielders Nicolò Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Kristjan Sucic, and Piotr Zielinski are considered untouchable by the club. The potential sale of Frattesi, coupled with the arrival of players like Palestra and potentially Pisilli, suggests a shift towards a more dynamic and versatile midfield. The club is also set to bring in veteran goalkeeper Luca Provedel as a backup to Yann Sommer, and defender Mehdi Solet is expected to be one of several defensive reinforcements.
The changes at Inter suggest a proactive approach to strengthening the squad ahead of the upcoming season, aiming to build upon their recent successes and maintain a competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions.
