Inter are monitoring several goalkeepers whose contracts are up at the end of the season. Samir Handanovic and Alex Cordaz are in the same situation, so André Onana is the only one tied to them long-term.
As per Sky, the Nerazzurri are tracking Yann Sommer, but he might transfer in January already. Bayern Munich are eyeing him to replace the injured Manuel Neuer. Manchester United are also on his trail for the summer, ESPN reports (via Tuttomercatoweb).
Inter have added two more options to their list of goalkeepers to fill the likely opening, Norberto Neto and Agustin Rossi, the Italian publication relays. The former is currently at Bournemouth and is already familiar with Serie A, having played for Fiorentina and Juventus in the past. He also spent time at Valencia and Barcelona. He has appeared in nine matches this season.
Instead, Rossi never played in Europe. He has racked up 151 appearances with Boca Juniors. He also starred for Lanus, Antofagasta, Estudiantes, and Defensa in recent campaigns. The 27-year-old has been called up once by Argentina but didn’t debut. He has the Italian passport and wouldn’t count against the limited quota of extra-EU players each team can sign per season.
As for their own prospective free agents, La Beneamata is making steady progress to keep Matteo Darmian, who wants to stay, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
Our Take on Inter Hunting for Goalkeepers
The Nerazzurri seem to have turned the page on Samir Handanovic, but he probably still has a chance to serve the deputy for another year if he agrees to reduced wages. Among the possible targets, Neto is the most credible one, but he’s playing regularly this year.
