Inter Milan preparing for a full midfield revolution this summer for Chivu

Inter Milan are set to cruise to the Scudetto for the rest of the season, as Chivu has turned around an emotional scarred team. However, the Nerazzurri haven’t been perfect across the board, being knocked out by Bodo Glimt in the Champions League. Inter will now look to build a stronger team in the summer to go deeper in the Champions League.

According to Corriere Dello Sport, Inter will mainly look to do so by changing their midfield. There will be multiple exits with Davide Frattesi is almost guaranteed to leave this summer. Henrik Mkhitaryan will also likely leave the side, as talks for his renewal for Inter have died down and his contract expires after this season.

Hakan Calhanoglu could also be on the way out of Milan this summer. His contract expires after next season, and there has been no talks of a renewal. This could lead to Inter selling him this summer to stop him from leaving as a free agent next season. Galatasaray have been the main team that have been aiming to sign Hakan, but no talks are underway.

Inter will likely spend big this summer to build a new midfield, in the aims to replace who they will lose in the summer. Aleksandar Stankovic is guaranteed to come back to Milan in the summer, as Inter will trigger his 22 million euro buy out option. He has worked with Chivu before during his time at Inter’s youths teams.

Manu Kone is the biggest name that Inter will try to sign in the summer. Inter have been following Kone for a while, as he is a favorite of Christian Chivu. One benefit for Inter Milan is that Roma will have to make sales during this summer, to meet finical fair play, which makes a deal plausible for Inter.

However, there was no guarantee that Kone will leave Roma as they could make other sales. Maximo Perrone from Como has been linked. Javier Zanetti has been talking to the Argentine to convince him, but there is still no guarantee on his future. Meanwhile, Inter will likely make another move for Curtis Jones like they did in January. Jones could look for a way out of Liverpool as he is still struggling for game time.
