Inter’s search to expand the defensive department continues. At Luciano Spalletti’s orders now there are only 8 defenders, with 5 of these being full backs (including Cancelo). At the center, only Skriniar, Miranda and Ranocchia fight for two starting spots, with Vanheusden out with a serious injury. The cover for centre backs is shorter than ever.
IZZO IN POLE, BUT THERE IS A DERBY FOR HIM – as FcInterNews has verified – there are constant contacts with the entourage of Armando Izzo, the defender of Genoa who was already approached in the summer, and sought by Walter Sabatini when he was at Roma. The 1992 born players dreams of the big jump and the opportunity to show his ability in a big team, in the summer he refused Fiorentina waiting for a better chance. Genoa values him at 12 million euros and are already working on the renewal, but if Izzo decides not to sign the extension, then a year and a half away from the expiration of the current one, selling him would be the best option. The compromise could be reached with an offer between 8 and 10 million cash. AC Milan are also looking for defenders and are interested in the Genoa player.
Other profiles considered include Rafael Toloi, Atalanta’s centre back. The Brazilian has attracted the attention of several clubs for a long time, and Inter continue to keep an eye on him. Atalanta however, will not want to deprive themselves in the winter market window, especially considering the number of matches due to participating in the Europa League. However, a possible elimination from the Europa League could change the cards on the table.
The profiles that interested Inter in the summer seem to have died down. Contacts for Eliaquim Mangala and Shkrodan Mustafi are over. The failure of signing either of those two at the end of the summer market is one of the reasons why Inter are now in trouble.
