The market has not officially opened yet, but Inter’s transfer team are already amongst the most active as they seek to build the team for next season. Indeed, Sporting Director Piero Ausilio admitted yesterday that the process is well underway.
Further confirmation comes from Gianluca Di Marzio, the market expert from Sky, who reports that the Nerazzurri have made a new attempt to sign Filip Benkovic – the 20 year old centre back from Dynamo Zagreb which Inter have been following for some time.
Despite his tender age the player is already a regular for his team, making 28 appearances and scoring four goals. Although he is yet to receive a call up to the senior Croatian side, he has 24 caps across different youth levels.
Inter will hope that their good relations with the Croatian club can smooth the negotiation process for the player. In the past Inter have secured both Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic from Zagreb, with positive results.
