The competition between Inter and Roma extends beyond the pitch, reaching the executive boxes where the clubs’ sporting directors engage in a strategic battle for talent. Inter’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio, is reportedly set to renew his pursuit of the French midfielder Koné, who was already a key target last summer with an estimated value of 40 million euros. Meanwhile, Roma’s sporting director, Tiago Pinto, is closely monitoring Davide Frattesi and Carlos Augusto.
Beyond these primary targets, other names are circulating in the transfer rumor mill. Players like Pellegrini and Celik are also being watched, particularly as their contracts are reportedly nearing expiration, making them potential targets for future transfer strategies, possibly even for Chivu’s development projects.
