Inter Milan Prepares Major Squad Changes Ahead of Next Season

Inter Milan has finalized the signing of Israeli defender Anan Halili, making him the club's most expensive Israeli player. This transfer marks the first significant addition to the squad for the upcoming season. The club has also acquired goalkeeper Ivan Provedel from Lazio and is expected to complete the permanent signing of Manuel Akanji, who played for Inter last season. Additionally, Alexander Stankovic may return from loan to join the team.

Several players who were loaned out last season have returned but are not currently in the club's main plans. These include Christian Asllani from Besiktas, Abner Akinsanmiro from Pisa, and Benjamin Pavard. On the departure front, Inter sold Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid for approximately 20 million euros, a key summer deal for the club. Other exits include defenders Francesco Acerbi and Matteo Darmian, and goalkeeper Yann Sommer, all of whom left after their contracts ended. Stefan de Vrij transferred to Panathinaikos on a free transfer, while Sebastiano Esposito was sold to Cagliari for around 4 million euros.

Alessandro Bastoni, a central defensive pillar for Inter, is currently under investigation for alleged involvement in a case concerning payment for sex with a minor. No charges have been filed yet, and his future at the club remains uncertain, with a possible summer exit still undecided. Inter is also considering signing another key defender, with English center-back Trevor Chalobah, who is also sought by Como, being a target. In midfield, the club is looking to strengthen as Davide Frattesi may leave, with Liverpool's Curtis Jones as a leading candidate despite a significant price gap.

Inter's lineup for the next season remains uncertain amid these potential changes. Bastoni may continue as the defensive anchor, while Nicolo Barella is expected to remain the midfield leader. Up front, the team plans to rely on forwards Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram as they aim to compete at the top levels in Italy and Europe.
