Inter Milan could sign either Dayot Upamecano or Kim Min-Jae from Bayern Munich if Benjamin Pavard leaves.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper La Repubblica, via FCInterNews. They report that if Pavard stays then Inter will target a younger defender.
Inter Milan look likely to sign a defender before the summer transfer window.
The backline is one area of the pitch that the Nerazzurri have not yet addressed this summer.
However, Inter’s strategy will depend on potential outgoings.
Inter Could Sign Upamecano Or Kim From Bayern If Pavard Leaves
So far Inter have also not sold any defenders. Therefore, their backline looks the same as last season.
However, there are reports that Benjamin Pavard could head for the exit door before the transfer window closes. Galatasaray and Neom are targeting the Frenchman.
And if Inter lose Pavard, then they will aim to make a like-for-like replacement by signing a defender capable of coming straight into the starting eleven.
According to La Repubblica, that could even mean signing a player from the same club Inter signed Pavard from, Bayern Munich.
Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-Jae are both on Inter’s radar in that sense.
However, if Pavard stays, then Inter’s plan would be to sign a younger defender more for the future than the present.
waste money and buy a defender for the future. This management have totally wasted time and money in the transfer market. It’s time for new management..
Still don’t know how we found ourselves here, all summer this management knew we had several old legs in the defense that need some rest but yet they concentrated on other areas buying players that are not first team players at the moment…. First game of the season and we are practically playing with the same tired looking squad from last season. It’s going to be a long ride this season
Grandpa Acerbi and Devrij are still better than Kim and Upamecano combined.
I don’t understand how Inter missed out on Christian Mosquera while ge was sold for peanuts ( only 20M). ??? not to add Koni de Winter and Beukema. … absurd!!!
Yea exactly. Now we have to pay more for players like Kim… I think we should just go for Upamecano.
Kim will do even if pavard stays , cos acerbi n de vrij ain’t younger to keep d pace at d highest level
stop this saying we ought to sell before we buy statement , our backline needs at least to defenders
