The summer transfer window is still some ways away, but Inter already have plans for this summer’s transfer window. The Nerazzurri are interested in numerous players from the attack all the way to the goalkeeping position. After Inter’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Parma, Roberto Mancini said that there would be a revolution at the club. Mancini wants to build a team that can challenge for the Scudetto next season. La Gazzetta Dello Sport has an entire section about Inter’s transfer targets. Much of Inter’s transfer dealings will depend on how the season will end and the offers the club will receive for current players in the squad. The paper reports that if Inter do not qualify for Europe, then they will not get sanctions from Uefa, who have implemented Financial Fair Play for clubs across Europe. Here are the types of players that Mancini wants and needs to bring Inter back to the top:
Top Player: The coach knows that buying a top player will be very difficult, so signing 3-4 hungry and determined players seems more likely. Mancini is hoping to give some of the youngsters, such as Camara, Dimarco, Baldini, Gyamfi, Yao and Zé Turbo, a chance in the first team. Most of them will probably be loaned out to gain experience first. Then, the Nerazzurri will gamble on a young prospect. One of the hottest names on the market that has attracted interest from Inter is Nabil Fekir of Lyon. River Plate striker Sebastian Driussi is also on Inter’s watchlist. Ondrej Duda of Legia Warsaw is another possibility. The last young player that Mancini wants is 22 year old left-back Monaco, Layvin Kurzawa.
Attackers: Roberto Mancini’s dream striker-partnership is Icardi-Dybala. It will be very difficult to ward off competition for the Palermo star. Paris St. Germain, Juventus, and Arsenal are all interest in the Argentine. To complete the attack, Mancini wants Pedro of Barcelona. The Spanish international’s contract expires in 2016, and he is likely to leave Barcelona at the end of the season. Andre Ayew is a backup to Pedro. The Ghanaian will leave Marseille at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Midfielders: For the midfield, Mancini wants experienced players. Yaya Toure is the dream, and to sign the 32 year old Ivorian, Inter will have to increase the player’s 11 million euros per year wages. Toure is yet to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, but signing the midfielder will be very difficult for Inter to do. Allan is probably the most likely player to join the Nerazzurri because Toulalan recently renewed his contract with Monaco.
Defenders: The biggest changes are to made in the defensive department. If Handanovic leaves Inter, then Petr Cech and Sergio Romero are potential replacements. Mattia Perin and Marco Sportiello are other alternatives for the goalkeeping position. There will be a massive exodus of Inter defenders this summer: Jonathan, Campagnaro, Vidic, Nagatomo and Dodo are all on their way out. Juan Jesus’s future is in the balance. The players who are likely to arrive are Vida and Dragovic of Dynamo Kiev, Heutaux of Udinese and Chinese defender Zhang. The dream defenders for the Nerazzurri are Darmian, Kurzawa, Felipe Luis, and Clichy.
The Exodus: There is no secret, many Inter players will leave this summer. The team has underperformed this season, and this is mostly to do with the lack of quality players in the squad. La Gazzetta Dello Sport reports that Podolski, Vidic, Campagnaro, Handanovic, and Jonathan will leave Inter in the summer. Ricky Alvarez’s departure will depend if Sunderland stay up or not. If the Blackcats get relegated, then Alvarez will return to Inter. Kuzmanovic, Obi and Hernanes are seen as “dead weight” in the squad, and the club will try to sell them in the summer transfer window. Roberto Mancini seems required to sacrifice either Mauro Icardi or Mateo Kovacic. One thing is certain. It will be a busy summer for Inter.
