According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan is poised to finalize two significant additions to their squad in the upcoming days. The Italian giants are said to be targeting a central midfielder and a central defender, with both prospective players expected to be acquired from clubs outside of Italy.
€80M Allocated for Strategic Reinforcements
With the summer transfer window drawing to a close on September 1, Inter is aiming to secure these two crucial signings. The Serie A club has reportedly set aside an €80 million budget to facilitate these acquisitions, underscoring their commitment to strengthening the team ahead of the new season.
Focus on Foreign Talent for Midfield and Defense
Inter`s strategy to look beyond Italy for new talent suggests that a potential move for Manu Koné from AS Roma is now off the cards. Similarly, earlier considerations for Rennes` 21-year-old Djaoui Cissé have been abandoned, as the French club`s high asking price proved prohibitive. This shift in focus indicates Inter`s determination to find value and specific profiles in international markets.
In terms of defensive targets, Oumar Solet and Loic Badé are reportedly high on the Nerazzurri`s shortlist, indicating a clear intent to reinforce their backline with promising young defenders. These potential additions would complement the three players Inter has already brought in this summer: Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique, and Ange-Yoan Bonny, as the club aims to complete its transfer business before the deadline.
