Renowned Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed insights into what Inter Milan plan to do in the January transfer window.
According to Di Marzio via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri might not necessarily sign a new wingback next month.
Despite frantically searching for a suitable replacement for Denzel Dumfries, Inter will not break the bank this winter.
Indeed, with the Dutchman set to return to action only in March, there’s a huge gap on the right flank.
Furthermore, marquee summer signing Luis Henrique has failed to live up to his €24 million price tag.
Di Marzio Insists Inter Milan May Not Sign New Wingback in January
Inter have already identified several potential targets, including Marco Palestra and Rafik Belghali.
However, the former commands a substantial €40 million price tag, while the latter is non-transferable until the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina stalwart Dodo has emerged as a contingency plan in case Atalanta refuse to budge on their valuation of Palestra.
Yet, Inter may not go all-out in January, opting instead to wait for the right opportunity in the summer.
Luis Henrique might not be Dumfreis yet but judging him after 3 decent games is kinda harsh..
We need a replacement for Darmian though
Henrique is not even playing in his natural position. Don’t know why we even signed him when he does not fit into 3-5-2. Otherwise its going to take a while until he adapts as rwb.
