Inter Milan have had a strong midfield for most of this decade, at the centre of this is Nicolo Barella. He joined Inter in 2019, and ever since then has worked his way up with the Nerazzurri. Now at 29-years-old, he is the key piece in Inter’s and one of the best in the world.

However, he hasn’t had a lousy supporting cast around him either, leading Inter to be one of Europe’s best team. Hakan Calhanoglu has been part of Inter’s main makeup ever since joining from rivals AC Milan. Hakan joined in controversial fashion leaving Milan to join Inter on a free transfer in 2021.

Hakan could finally be out of his of Milan, as a move to Turkey could be on the cards. Lautaro Martinez and Hakan fell out, during the Club World Cup, which led to rumours of a move to Galatasaray for Calhanoglu. These reports are back again according to Tuttosport via FCInterNewsIT.

A move back to Turkey could be on the cards espically with an expiring contract. Calhanoglu’s current deal expires at the end of next season, so this summer would be the last chance to cash in on him. However, we still don’t know what Inter will do with Hakan’s contract.

However, Calhanoglu isn’t the only midfielder, Inter could lose as Henrikh Mkhitaryan contract is nearly ending. Mkhitaryan current deal expires at the end of this season, and there isn’t a decision for a renewal on Inter according to Corriere dello Sport. If Mkhitaryan doesn’t stay with Inter he could retire as a move to Saudi Arabia or America doesn’t interest the Armenian.

Luciano Spalletti has made turned Juventus into a team that can produce 20-30 shots over 90 minutes. However, them making these shots has been the struggle for most of the season with Jonathan David and Lois Openda struggling. But, Juventus hasn’t been starved for goals as the midfield has been able to put them away.

Kenan Yildiz has of course been a big factor in this, which lead to Juventus renewing his contract. (read more here) Weston Mckennie has also played a big role, under Luciano Spalletti becoming a goal scoring attacking midfielder, through the middle of the park.

This has lead to someone Juventus didn’t want a two years ago becoming one of the most wanted names in Europe. This comes as his contract expires at the end of this season, and La Liga and Premier League keeping tabs on the American. However, thats not the worst teams he could go to for Juventus.

Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma and Napoli are all monitoring Mckennie according to Romeo Agresti. Juventus losing Mckennie to a Serie A rival would be devastating especially on a free transfer. Inter are the closest to signing Mckennie, being known to bring in free agents, especially with the possibility of Davide Frattesi leaving.

This is why Juventus are set to make a new offer to Weston Mckennie to convince him to stay. Currently, Mckennie earns 2.5 million euros per season in Turin, something which will be upped. If Juventus want to keep Mckennie they will have to offer around 4 million euros per season to keep him.

Inter has been far and above the best team in Serie A in the recent months. They look incapable of not scoring three goals a game, let alone dropping points. The Nerazzurri should be on their way to their 21st Scudetto title at the end of this season if all goes to plan.

Inter look like a much improved team from last season, which saw them miss out on a trophy. There is one obvious change between the two teams being head coach as Cristian Chivu has revolutionised Inter, as it felt Inzaghis time was getting repetitive. However, the changes Chivu has made tactically have been minor as Inter look more motivated than ever.

Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny being added to Inter’s bench has given them a much needed boost. One they didn’t have last season, which ultimately could be what cost them in major competitions. Especially with Inter making a deep run in Champions League, while champions, Napoli didn’t play in Europe all season.

Even, if this has been a small boost it has been a big one. Inter’s improved goalscoring has lead to a confidence boost across the entire team. Chivu has his men more motivated to play then anyone in the rest of Europe not just Italy. Someone who has benefited from this largely has been Federico Dimarco.

Dimarco has always been a confidence player, and this season he has been more confident then ever. This has lead to him having one of his best years with six goals and eleven assists, across all competitions. Inter are set to reward Dimarco for his good form according to Nico Schira.

Inter are getting closer to agreeing a contract extension with Dimarco until 2030. This deal will likely come with a nice payrise, however, figures for the deal aren’t official yet. Meanwhile from Inter a new deal will protect them from the prying eyes of big Premier League teams trying to sign Dimarco.
