Despite their Serie A leadership, the Nerazzurri will not be sitting on their hands in the transfer market as Simone Inzaghi is expected to make moves in the January calciomercato window. Below are some players he has reportedly put his eyes on.
Lucas Digne
The Italian giants are weighing options for the Everton left-back. Digne seems to be on his way out of Goodison Park since he has fallen out with Rafael Benitez. However, several clubs are chasing the Frenchman. Inter are interested in Digne due to his effectiveness as an attacking fullback. They expect to sign him on loan until the end of the season. Digne is a top target and Inter are aware that Chelsea are also interested in him. Indeed, Chelsea could financially outmuscle the Nerazzurri and have Lucas Digne comfortably if they chose to do so.
Mathias Ginter
Inter are also close to signing the Borussia Monchengladbach defender on a free transfer. According to Sport Mediaset, the Nerazzurri are eagerly waiting for the green light from him. Ginter is out of contract with his current team. In addition, he has confirmed that he will be leaving for a new club. Sleeping giants Inter have offered Ginter a deal worth £3.5 million per season in four years. The deal is lucrative and an opportunity for him to win trophies in the future.u
Jerome Boateng
The 32-year-old defender is ending his contract and leaving Bayern Munich on a free transfer. Boateng has showcased his good form and will not lack suitors carving to have him. Boateng’s agent Fali Ramadani has offered Inter as their first option to sign him. Although it is not the first time Jerome is linked with Inter, moving to the club would strengthen the Nerazzurri and be a good next step in the German’s career.
Alexandre Lacazette
The Frenchman is available for a free transfer in January. Inter have made Lacazette their top target, but they must do away with Alexis Sanchez first. The wages of Alexis Sanchez preclude other clubs from signing him, and the Italians are ready to waive any transfer fee to do away with the forward. Inter need a striker who matches Lacazette’s quality. However, the huge concern is that Lacazette will demand a significant wage and a decent contract.
Emerson Palmieri
The Chelsea left-back is another viable player in Inter. Napoli are also interested in Emerson. Thus, Inter should fasten their moves before it’s too late. The 26-year-old has lacked action in West London, but he remains a top-rated player in Italy. His return to Serie A would create a hardcore defense at Inter.
Jesse Lingard
The 28-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford in January and Inter have maintained their interest in him. Jesse Lingard is a United academy graduate whose talent and skills fit the Nerazzurri. With players including Bruno Fernadez and Jadon Sancho, his game time has been reduced.
