Inter Milan could make the surprise decision to extend Yann Sommer’s contract beyond this summer, but the Swiss veteran’s fate depends entirely on what Josep Martinez decides to do with his own career according to reports.
As per L’Interista, Guglielmo Vicario remains the frontrunner to become Inter’s first-choice goalkeeper next season.
The Tottenham and Italy international is understood to have already opened the door to a move.
With Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio having long been an admirer.
Elia Caprile has been considered but is deemed too young and insufficiently experienced for the number one role at this stage.
Inter Weigh Up Shock Sommer Extension As Martinez Future Up In The Air
Sommer was considered a certain departure, but that picture is now more nuanced.
Martinez may decide to seek a club where he can play regularly.
And, in that case, Inter would need a reliable backup for Vicario, and Sommer fits that bill perfectly.
Extending his deal to June 2027 would provide experienced cover without requiring significant investment.
The alternative backup option being considered is Filip Stankovic.
He could arrive cheaply from Venezia and develop under Vicario in anticipation of a future first-team role.
However, the prospect of purchasing two goalkeepers in the same window is not an idea that particularly appeals to the Inter hierarchy.
For now, everything hinges on Martinez’s decision.
Caprile already play great in serie A. Young mean he can be greater ang greater with time.
If Ausilio and Marotta want old guy, then just buy Vicario or Allison. Very stupid reason buying player because his age.
