As Inter Milan close in on the Serie A title, the focus is already shifting to a summer of significant change at the San Siro. With several veteran defenders set to depart, the Nerazzurri are planning a major defensive rebuild to maintain their domestic dominance.
The club has reportedly identified four key areas for reinforcement. First, manager Cristian Chivu, on the cusp of a Scudetto in his debut season, is set to be rewarded with a new long-term contract, signaling stability at the helm.
On the pitch, the defensive line is the top priority. With Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, and Stefan de Vrij expected to leave, Inter's sporting director Beppe Marotta has drawn up a shortlist. Roma's Gianluca Mancini is the dream target, with Tarik Muharemovic and Oumar Solet also under consideration as potential new pillars at the back.
Between the posts, a new era is also beginning. Veteran goalkeeper Yann Sommer's contract is expiring, and Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario has emerged as a prime candidate to become the new number one, bringing Serie A-proven quality to the role.
Finally, the wing remains an area to watch. While the club hopes to retain Dutch flyer Denzel Dumfries, they have a contingency plan. Should he depart, Barcelona's promising young full-back Hector Fort is lined up as a potential replacement, ensuring the team's attacking width remains a threat.
