According to Gazzetta dello Sport, after qualification to the Champions League is confirmed, the Zhang family now wants to start aiming for some silverware.
At Inter, big changes can be expected during the Summer, starting from the bench. While profiles such as Jose Mourinho, Mauricio Pochettino and Maurizio Sarri remain possible, the number one target is Antonio Conte. Therefore, Gazzetta looks at what players Conte could ask the Nerazzurri to bring him if they are serious about winning something next season.
Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic are both considered transferable, unlike Radja Nainggolan, a player who the Italian coach has admired for many years.
Inter’s defence is more or less finished, with Skriniar, De Vrij and Godin all secured for next season. Therefore, Inter’s efforts will be mainly focused on improving the midfield and attack. To replace Icardi, the two most popular names are Edin Dzeko, considered the next perfect player to teach Lautaro Martinez and then Romelu Lukaku who dreams of playing in Serie A. Duvan Zapata of Atalanta is also an idea but is not considered as desirable. For Perisic’s replacement, the first choice is Steven Bergwijn.
Following this, maximum effort will be dedicated to finding Marcelo Brozovic a better partner. Piero Ausilio was recently in attendance of Tottenham-City, for Ilkay Gundogan and Christian Eriksen (contract expires in 2020) but Ivan Rakitic is considered the most likely target. Finally, there is Barella, who is admired by everyone at Inter but the price is not justifiable at this stage.
