Transfer Watch

Inter Milan's search for reinforcements sees them considering high-profile names but potential webs of complication. Gianluigi Donnarumma is reportedly open to joining Inter as contract negotiations with PSG falter. As per a SempreInter.Com report, the Italian goalkeeper, unhappy with PSG’s offer to reduce his wages, might look towards a return to Milan.

Simultaneously, Inter's pursuit of Ademola Lookman remains fraught with obstacles. Atalanta continues to hold firm on their €50 million asking price, despite Lookman’s evident desire to join the Nerazzurri. His agents are set to resume talks, but it remains unclear if an agreement will be reached in time.

In another lane, pressure doesn’t daunt Inter from eyeing Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, despite a hefty €70 million valuation. With Lookman negotiations stalled, Akliouche has emerged as a tantalizing alternative, as noted in a Foot Africa coverage.

Squad Insight

On the home front, several players' futures are under scrutiny. Kristjan Asllani has been deemed surplus to Cristian Chivu’s plans, further exacerbated by Torino and other clubs’ interest. Meanwhile, Inter must decide on the future of Benjamin Pavard. Linked with a move to Galatasaray, Pavard’s departure could accelerate if Inter proceeds with their defensive reshuffle ambitions, allowing potential incoming deals like young Giovanni Leoni, who is Liverpool-bound.

The club’s midfield dynamics are set for a shake-up too, with Piotr Zielinski’s exit a likely necessity to pave the way for Genoa’s Morten Frendrup. Each decision is critical with fixtures looming on the horizon, including a critical opening Serie A clash with Torino.

Tactical Notes

Manager Cristian Chivu appears set on tinkering with formations ahead of the Serie A season. A shift from a 3-5-2 to a 3-4-2-1 seems on the cards, notably impacting offensive roles. Thuram now faces stiff competition with new acquisition Ange-Yoan Bonny showing promise. Young prospect Francesco Pio Esposito is making a case for more game time, displaying his prowess during an exhilarating pre-season.
