Inter don’t have pressing needs ahead of the January window, but they’ll wait in the wings to potentially seize the chance of strengthening the squad at affordable prices. Instead, their main priority is to avoid what happened with Milan Skriniar, who departed on a free, Sky Italy reported.
Therefore, the talks with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the only player whose contract expires at the end of the season, are ongoing. They tendered a two-year deal maintaining his current wages, €3.5M per season. Denzel Dumfries is next in line since his pact expires in 2025. The team values him €45/50M, but they’d rather keep him than cash in on him.
There shouldn’t be many issues for Federico Dimarco. He, Lautaro Martinez, and Nicolò Barella are already tied to Inter until 2026, and the management will try to come to terms before January. That’d protect them from mammoth offers that could arrive especially from Saudi Arabia in the future.
The Nerazzurri are leading the race to land Tiago Djalò on a Bosman deal. They continue to keep tabs on Mehdi Taremi, who won’t extend his expiring contract with Porto. He could be the bargain they are looking for in the upcoming transfer session. But their interest hinges on how Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez hold up physically and perform on the pitch.
Our Take on Inter and January
They are in the enviable position of having no big holes in their roster. However, a young center-back who’s readier than Yann Aurel Bisseck wouldn’t hurt.
