Inter are already shaping their transfer plans for next season and the midfield sits at the top of their priority list as Cristian Chivu looks to refresh the squad, with Roma midfielder Manu Kone and Alexsandar Stankovic among their top targets.
The Nerazzurri remain focused on the title race and the Coppa Italia final on May 13. But planning for the summer window is already underway behind the scenes.
Tuttosport, via FCInter1908, reports that Inter want more pace and physicality in midfield.
Chivu wants a stronger, more dynamic profile to raise the team’s intensity in both Serie A and Europe.
Roma Star Kone & Stankovic Eyed For Future Of Inter Midfield
Inter currently rely on Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
That trio remains a key strength. However, the club believes the midfield still needs more athletic balance.
Two names stand out in their plans: Manu Kone and Aleksandar Stankovic.
Koné, who plays for Roma, fits the profile Inter want. He brings energy, power, and ball-winning ability. Inter see him as a major option to reshape the midfield.
Stankovic is also firmly in their thinking. Inter hold a buyback option on the Serbia talent. That gives them control over his future and a clear pathway to bring him back if needed.
Midfield now looks like the main focus of Inter’s summer strategy. The club want more intensity and depth as they prepare for the next stage of their project.
Palestra guys. Palestra. Thats the key to european glory.
He’s good but what we really need is to play like we did against Como in the second half. We have to be more direct. It runs the risk of counters which is why we need CBs with pace but we should be smothering the other team. Como was so overrun they couldn’t even get a pass out to counter
