Inter have been linked to a few targets, especially to replace Robin Gosens, but the most likely scenario is that they won’t change their squad in January. Instead, they will try to lay the foundation for potential summer additions, as for instance Marcus Thuram, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
The Nerazzurri aren’t particularly eager to sell any player at the moment. The ex-Atalanta wing-back is exploiting the break to round back into shape. He’ll attempt to win over Simone Inzaghi, who has preferred Federico Dimarco, in the second half of the season. The management isn’t seriously considering partying ways with Denzel Dumfries either, despite the recent rumors.
With no departures, Inter wouldn’t be able to make any addition, nor from the economic standpoint or roster-wise. Instead, they are taking care of the pressing contract extensions. They are waiting for an answer from Milan Skriniar. Their latest proposal was on par with how much Marcelo Brozovic and Lautaro Martinez earn. They hope to strike a deal by the end of the year. Otherwise, both parties will examine their options in January. PSG’s president Nasser Al Khelaifi announced that they didn’t expect to be active in January, which would rule out the most likely destination.

Our Take on Inter
As for Gosens, it’s probably the chicken or the egg dilemma. It appears that they inquired about potential substitutes and probed his sale. They were probably left lukewarm by the results of their early efforts. Considering the amortizations, his cost on the balance sheets naturally decreases. Arranging his exit will be easier and less harmful the longer he stays. On the other hand, they could use another reliable and effective wing-back, which he hasn’t been that so far.
