Inter have been one of the most financially responsible teams in Serie A, at least in the current transfer market. They have been looking for plenty of free agents signing after Covid. There main smart signings they have made are Marcus Thuram and Yann Sommer, who wasn’t a free transfer but extremely cheap for a player of his quality. All of this work has been done by Giuseppe Marotta for Inter.

Yann Sommer has been elite for Inter Milan in between the sticks after the departure of Andre Onana to Manchester United. However, Sommer is slowly getting up their in years, being 37 year old and not getting any younger. Of course a goalkeepers age isn’t as important to other positions.

But, Inter will still need a plan for when Sommer is ready to leave. Josep Martinez is already at Inter Milan, he has been rotated to start over Sommer for some games. However, it’s hard to believe that Cristian Chivu and Giuseppe Marotta would push for a whole season with him.

This has lead Inter to being looking for replacements for Sommer, as ready as this month. This is according to reports from Sky Sport which state that Inter have opened up talks with Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa. Martinez current contract with Villa expires at the end of this season.

Currently, it isn’t guaranteed that Martinez will stay with Villa after this season. This has lead to Inter Milan probing around him and his camp seeing if they can convince him to move to Milan. Inter making Martinez would make sense as a natural progression from Yann Sommer.

Martinez has been offered a 4 million euro per season contract by Inter Milan if he is to join the Nerazzurri. The initial contract offer would be a two year deal which would see Martinez stay in Milan until he is 36. This would take him to the same age that Sommer was at the start of this season.

Saudi Arabian side set to make large bid for Marcus Thuram

Inter Milan have been one of Italy’s and Europe’s best attacks so far this season. So far this season they have scored 65 goals in the league through 29 games. This puts Inter comfortably first in the category compared to the rest of the league. The second closest team, Juventus sits on only 51 goals.

While Lautaro Martinez, clear world class talent has been helpful, there has been other reasons. Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny have both become key rotational names for Inter throughout this season. The youngsters have given Chivu new possibilities for his attack this season.

This has left Inter trying to decide who will lead their attack into next season. Marcus Thuram name has therefore come up in the rumours multiple times as there is no guarantee he stays. He has been linked to other European clubs, including FC Barcelona multiple times this season.

However, their has still been issues with these teams, as affording Thuram is an issue. Inter Milan won’t let him leave for cheap, and it could even take Thuram’s 85 million euros release clause to see him leave Milan this summer. This could be an issue as top European teams would likely not be willing to spend this.

However, TuttoSport are now reporting that there is a different side that would. They are reporting that a side in the Saudi Pro League could decide to make a bid for Thuram. Many of Saudi’s top sides are back by rich owners who would be willing to invest the money to sign Thuram, which a European club wouldn’t. This could be the ket factor in seeing the deal get done if it is to happen this summer.

Juventus are now hopeful to make a move to try and sign Calafiori once again. However, this time they aren’t the only Serie A team interested with, Napoli, AC Milan and Inter Milan all keeping track of Calafiori. This has come as he has struggled a little bit for gametime this season.

It has been rare to see Calafiori to play a full ninety minutes for Arsenal this season. He has either been a key option off the bench for Mikel Arteta or started and be bought off before completing the full 90. This is what lead to the rumours of Calafiori moving back to Serie A.

However, according to TEAMtalk a deal for Calafiori to leave Arsenal is now unlikely. Arsenal have blocked any move for Calafiori as they aim to keep him in North London past this season. They also have no reason to sell Calafiori as he is not unhappy with the club.

Italian football clubs are slowly looking to spend more money on transfers compared to other leagues. Part of this is down to poor TV rights deal, and Stadium Ownership which makes it hard for some clubs to raise capital for signings. This has meant that Italian sides have had to get creative to complete big signings.

An example of this was last summer was when Napoli signed Kevin De Bruyne as a free agent. De Bruyne has been Napolis strongest addition this season, despite suffering injury issues across the season. Napoli have considered making a similar move again to Fabrizio Romano via Youtube.

Leon Goretzka was a name that Napoli discussed heavily, as they could have made a free agent move. However, Napoli have decided against it as they believe that his wage demands are too high. However, this isn’t a struggle for other Serie A clubs as they could make a move.

Inter Milan have now opened up contacts with Leon Goretzka and his agents over a potential move, to Italy his summer. This would be a big splash for Inter, and would likely lead to another midfielder leaving, Right now that name could be Hakan Calhanoglu who’s contract expires after next season.

But, Davide Frattesi could also leave the Nerazzurri this summer. He has struggled for gametime so far this season which is now hurting his Italian national team chances (read more here). But it is no guarantee for Inter as Juventus have also made an offer for Goretzka. However, the deal that Juventus offered was low for what Goretzka is asking, as Inter could have the same issue.
