Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly planning to sign a new center-back in the January transfer window.

According to Calciomercato via L’Interista, the Scudetto hopefuls have earmarked between €20-25 million for the winter transfer session.

Furthermore, the Nerazzurri are eager to allocate their entire budget toward strengthening the defense.

Indeed, landing a new center-back has become a priority for the club despite Manuel Akanji’s arrival in the summer.

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi has emerged as Inter’s top target. However, several other names remain on Beppe Marotta’s shortlist.

Udinese’s Oumar Solet is a long-term target.

Then, Inter are also keeping close tabs on Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic and Club Brugge’s Joel Ordonez.

Guehi would be a dream signing, yet the Nerazzurri must beat stiff competition from Liverpool and other top European clubs.

Meanwhile, Piotr Zielinski could wave goodbye to San Siro after failing to impress in the early stages of the season.

Additionally, Inter could send summer coup Andy Diouf out on loan.

Finally, Tomas Palacios could also leave after rejecting several offers during the summer.
