Inter Milan have made a significant U-turn in their transfer policy after withdrawing from talks to sign Ademola Lookman.

According to FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri are now prioritizing the signing of a new defender and midfielder.

Ademola Lookman has been Inter’s primary target this entire summer.

However, discussions with Atalanta have been at a standstill for almost a month now.

Therefore, the San Siro giants have decided to walk away from the negotiating table and focus on other targets.

One of Inter’s main objectives is to strengthen Cristian Chivu’s defensive options.

Indeed, they’ve set their sights on Bayern Munich outcast Kim Min-jae.

However, much depends on the future of Benjamin Pavard, who could soon pack his bags.

In addition to the South Korean center-back, Inter could sign another midfielder.

Despite capturing the services of Petar Sucic, the Serie A runners-up remain on the market for another midfield reinforcement.

Atalanta’s Ederson and Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha have emerged as Inter’s potential targets.
