Inter Milan are looking to find the right formula to secure the services of Tajon Buchanan in January, while signing Tiago Djalo remains more likely in the summer.
The Nerazzurri are exploring their options on the market as Juan Cuadrado will be out of action for several months.
The Colombian must undergo surgery to repair an Achilles tendon problem that has been haunting him since the start of the season.
Therefore, the Serie A leaders are seeking a new right winger who can make up for the veteran’s absence.
Buchanan has now emerged as the favorite candidate in Inter’s book.
The 24-year-old has been plying his trade at Club Brugge since 2022. His contract with the Belgian club will expire in June 2025.
However, the Italian giants may lack the financial resources to finalize the deal in January.
So according to Tuttosport via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri are hoping to find a suitable formula that allows them to bring in the Canadian to Appiano Gentile next month.
Inter would like to poach Buchanan on an initial loan deal with the obligation to buy him at the end of the season.
As the source tells it, the player’s contractual situation could play in Inter’s favor in the negotiations.

On the other hand, the Beanamata could add a pure defender to the ranks in the shape of Tiago Djalo.
As the Turin-based newspaper explains, Inter have an agreement in principle to sign the Portuguese on a free transfer once his contract with Lille expires.
However, the Nerazzurri are unlikely to buy the 23-year-old in January, mainly for two reasons.
First, the Ligue 1 side is asking for 5 million euros to part ways with the defender.
Second, Djalo hasn’t played since sustaining an ACL injury in March, making him a risky signing at this stage.
