Inter Milan are currently leading the Serie A charts are preparing for a big month. There upcoming fixtures include the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and the Champions League quarter-finals.

2025 could be a record-breaking year for the defending champions. The race for the Scudetto is on, and they can still win the Champions League. This hasn’t happened since that smashing season under José Mourinho. The Coppa Italia is also up for grabs, with treble chances in view. 

The strength of the squad and these five players could make the difference between a successful season and a lost one: 

Marcus Thuram

Marcus Thuram was signed as a long-term investment who would need several months to adjust, but those expectations turned out to be wrong.

The player started his Inter career with great momentum and showed decisive performances in the final third, together with goal-machine partner Lautaro Martínez. His current league record shows 13 goals, along with four assists. 

Thuram has been popular among fans who prefer to bet on goal scorers. This goal market remains a solid option for football fans who want to leverage higher odds. Inter Milan will take on Fiorentina next, and the football betting odds for Thuram to score are 31/20 at LeoVegas. Thuram is in contention with Mateo Retegui from Atalanta, who leads the Serie A chart with 22 goals.

Lautaro Martínez

The 27-year-old attacker did not find his rhythm until several months after the campaign started. At the start of the season, Martínez had difficulty maintaining freshness because his preseason fitness preparation was rushed after his participation in the Copa America. 

After Martínez moved past this challenge, something still felt off. The Inter captain continued to have difficulty scoring goals, despite several good opportunities. His goal-scoring remained completely dry for almost two months. 

However, he appears to be making up for his previous shortcomings. The Inter captain ended his goal drought during a 3-0 Serie A victory at Cagliari in the team’s last match of 2024. Martínez clearly felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders after scoring that goal, and it established a strong foundation for his performance in 2025. 

The Argentine player has made key contributions to Inter during their Serie A and Champions League matches. His hat-trick against Monaco proved the point beyond a doubt.

During Martínez’s goal drought, Inter relied heavily on Thuram’s outstanding goal-scoring ability, but the main man is back now.  The two forwards firing on all cylinders could prove useful for this Inter side.

Federico Dimarco

The second most-valued left-back in the world is Federico Dimarco of Inter Milan, according to the latest valuations. The wingback has become known for his constant runs up and down the left flank, which regularly result in his name appearing on the scoresheet. The player has scored three goals and made four assists so far this season in the league. 

Simone Inzaghi played a crucial part in his return because he saw the wingback as the ideal player for his 3-5-2 system. Dimarco is one of just four defenders who have recorded more than 10 goals and 10 assists (11G+11A) in the top five European leagues over the past three seasons.

Nicolò Barella

Barella stands out as a key player for Inzaghi in 2025 because of his ability to perform multiple functions in the five-man midfield setup. The 27-year-old player performs at his best when operating as a mezzala or box-to-box midfielder on the right side of his team’s five-man midfield. 

The Euro 2020 champion demonstrates hard work and creativity while committing to intense pressing throughout the full 90 minutes. 

Alessandro Bastoni 

Inter’s defence is incomplete without this player, who currently stands as one of its pillars. In defence, he makes important contributions to Inter but has also become vital in their build-up play. This season with Inter, the centre-back has managed to provide five assists.

This statistic illustrates how the player uses his vision and technique to affect both his team’s area and the opposition’s area. 

He is among the defenders with the most assists in Europe’s top five leagues.
