Inter Milan Pushing To Sign Portugal International On Free Transfer Next Summer | OneFootball

Inter Milan are pushing to sign Lille defender Tiago Djalo on a free transfer next summer.

This according to Italian news outlet FCInter1908, who report that the Nerazzurri are optimistic they can get a deal done.

Djalo is a player who had been on Inter’s radar as early as the January transfer window of last season.

That was when it became clear that Milan Skriniar would not be extending his contract.

Had the Slovakian joined Paris Saint-Germain for a fee in January then Inter were considering a move for Djalo.

The Portuguese international is a player who the Nerazzurri had marked out as a potential like-for-like replacement for Skriniar.

In the end, Skriniar stayed at Inter until the end of last summer. However, given that the Slovakian left to join PSG for free when his contract with the Nerazzurri ran out, a replacement was still needed.

In the end, Inter signed Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich to replace Skriniar.

However, that does not mean that they have entirely lost interest in signing Djalo.

Inter Ready To Push For Lille Defender Tiago Djalo On Free Transfer

According to FCIN1908, Inter are still in contact with Djalo’s representatives.

The Nerazzurri have made their interest in signing the Portuguese international next summer.

The 23-year-old has made it clear that he does not extend his contract with Lille.

And given that Djalo’s current deal runs out at the end of next June, that means that he’ll be available on a free transfer.

It’s no secret that free transfer signings are a pillar of Inter’s strategy in the market in recent years.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri are still in significant contact with Djalo’s representatives. They’re ready to push to sign him and believe that it’s very much possible.

There are, however, other clubs with an interest in Djalo. These include Juventus, AC Milan, and Barcelona.
