Inter Milan have opened talks as they are on the search for the next goalkeeper

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.
