After the acquisition of Frattesi, Inter need to find another midfielder and above all a central defender: there is talk above all of Demiral, but Marotta continues to target Chalobah.
Federico Masini, journalist for TuttoSport, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, to talk about Inter’s defensive signings, from Demiral to Chalobah, and Milan’s main negotiations.
“With the sale of Onana, Inter are starting again for three goals,” said Masini. “After Azpilicueta has gone, a defender, a replacement for Onana and a centre forward must be taken. Also watch out for Chalobah, who Inter are still interested in, especially if they were to buy Lukaku.”
According to the interviewee, Inter’s non-exhausted interest in Lukaku means that Zhang is aiming to win the Scudetto: “Lukaku is going to be thirty-one years old and Inter will be burdened with a heavy signing with him. Until March he didn’t perform, but in Serie A from March to May he was decisive. If Inter finished third, they also owe it to Lukaku. For Inter next season is a time horizon. They want to win the Scudetto and close this cycle: Lukaku is an instant team player”.

Regarding the Rossoneri market, the interviewee mentioned the names of Musah and Pulish. “Milan likes the two Americans, and a third could be added: Juventus offers McKennie. Also, Kalulu is not incedible for Milan because he has dropped this year and has been overtaken by Thiaw. I don’t know much about these rumours… “

“In my opinion,” the journalist continued, “AC Milan would do well to keep Kalulu, also because with Musah, Rijnders and Loftus-Cheek, who join Bennacer and Krunic, in midfield he is doing well.”
“Frattesi was the first target for Inter’s midfield and he achieved it,” the interviewee then said. “In the last month nothing has been moved with the insertions of other teams, at least in the will of the player. Milan were scheduled to hold an exploratory meeting for Frattesi with Sassuolo and for this on Monday evening Inter closed. Tonight at 19:00 Frattesi will do the medical examinations”.
Finally, an opinion on Inter’s possible new goalkeeper: ‘Handanovic has not been waved off. If he were to stay, he would do so to bring up a youngster. If a profile like Sommer were to arrive, it would make little sense. Onana is one of the bigs who can bring in money and so we are moving towards a sale. His is a painful farewell because you lose two of the three directors along with Calhanoglu. “
