Inter is preparing a defensive revolution – writes Gazzetta dello Sport, which reveals the names of the 4 defenders the club is trying to bring to Cristi Chivu.
Not a day without mercato, seems to be the motto of Italian journalists. Although there are still 8 stages in the current championship, Gazzetta dello Sport is already revealing the list of acquisitions that Inter wants to make in the summer.
The most important profile daily in the Peninsula claims that the Nerazzurri defense will see the most personnel movements: “3 players will leave and 3 will come in their place“.
Cristi Chivu's dream is to bring Marco Palestra
Gazzetta learned that “Akanji is a certainty for the future of the defense. He is expected to be bought for 15 million euros”. The future of Bastoni, who Barcelona want, is still to be determined. Inter wants 80 million euros, Barca would not give more than 60 million. Bisseck is also in doubt. But Acerbi, Darmian and De Vrij, all out of contract, will surely leave.
What does the club do? Three players are targeted for acquisition. According to the quoted publication, it is about Tarik Muharemovic, from Sassuolo, Joel Ordonez, from FC Bruges, and Oumar Solet, from Udinese. “But the big dream is Marco Palestra, the 20-year-old defender owned by Atalanta,” claims Gazzetta dello Sport
Carlos Augusto has been offered an extension, Luis Henrique is trending towards a breakup
As for Dumfries and Dimarco, the starters in Cristi Chivu's strips, the club would have decided to keep them. Carlos Augusto has been offered a contract extension due in 2028, but the winger has taken time to think before making a decision.
The situation of the other Brazilian, Luis Enrique, is also uncertain. Brought last summer, against 22.8 million euros, from Marseille, the right midfielder did not convince, and according to Gazzetta Dello Sport, the trend would be towards a separation.
