Inter Milan are already planning for next season, with Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka and Roma defender Zeki Celik both on the radar as potential free transfer additions to the Nerazzurri squad.

According to Il Giorno, via FCInterNews, Inter have not abandoned their pursuit of cost-free signings despite their strong league position.

Both Goretzka and Celik reach the end of their contracts this summer, making them attractive options for a club that has built a reputation for smart, financially responsible recruitment.

Goretzka would address Inter’s need for a physically imposing midfielder, while Celik offers experienced cover at wing-back, particularly relevant given the uncertainty surrounding Denzel Dumfries’s future.

Il Giorno also confirm that Inter are seriously considering triggering their buy-back clause on Aleksandar Stankovic.

The young midfielder is impressing at Club Brugge and Inter hold the option to bring him back for €23 million next summer, rising to €25 million in 2027.

An immediate return looks increasingly likely if his form continues.

With Champions League revenue reduced following their early exit, free transfers and shrewd buy-back options represent exactly the kind of intelligent business Inter need to conduct this summer to maintain their competitive edge.
