Inter are already laying the groundwork for their 2026 summer transfer window, with several strategic moves being planned, including the search for a new first-choice goalkeeper.
As reported by Niccolò Ceccarini, via FCInter1908, Yann Sommer’s contract expires at the end of next season, and a renewal is considered unlikely.
Finding a long-term replacement has therefore become a top priority for the Nerazzurri.
Among the options being monitored, Noah Atubolu has emerged as a leading candidate.
The Freiburg goalkeeper, born in 2002, has been on Inter’s radar since impressing at the UEFA Under-21 European Championship.
Furthermore, those performances also earned him a senior Germany call-up.
Inter Plot Sommer Succession With Freiburg Keeper Atubolu
Atubolu, who remains under contract until 2027, is highly regarded in Germany as a potential heir to Manuel Neuer.
This is due to his blend of physicality, agility, and composure under pressure.
The 23-year-old was previously courted by Napoli before they signed Vanja Milinković-Savić.
However, Inter’s growing interest suggests a move could develop over the coming months.
With succession planning already underway, Inter’s management see Atubolu as a player who could anchor the next era in goal.
Sommer has fallen in form, so Martinez should be given a chance till the end of the season to show if he can constantly perform on the highest level. Last 20, 30 years we always had one of the best goalkeepers in the world, so he has big shoes to fill. But smart to scout potential replacements who also represent their countries, cause Martinez currently isn’t even one of the 3 called up gks of Spain, let alone first gk.
Seriously whats wrong with Martinez? Fees like thr management just hate him at this point.
