Inter Milan won’t sign a defender before deadline day, but could move for Udinese’s Oumar Solet in the January transfer window.
This according to Italian outlet Gazzetta.it.
For months, it has seemed all but inevitable that Inter would sign a defender at some point this summer.
The Nerazzurri are currently relying on aging duo Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi at the heart of their back three.
Meanwhile, there have been transfer links away for the likes of Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck.
Furthermore, Inter have sold wingback Nicola Zalewski to Atalanta this summer. Therefore, this means that Carlos Augusto will be required to play on the flank more.
Accordingly, the versatile Brazilian will not be able to deputize for Alessandro Bastoni in defense as often.
Inter Won’t Sign A Defender Before Deadline Day – Could Bring In Solet In January
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, however, Inter have decided not to sign a defender before the summer transfer window closes.
The Nerazzurri feel that the right opportunities are not currently out there.
Therefore, Inter are ready to stick with what they have for at least the first half of the upcoming season.
However, the Gazzetta report, Inter could reassess things in January.
In that case, the newspaper expect, Udinese defender Oumar Solet would become a major target during the midseason transfer window.
We should have lost in the first round instead of beating 5-0. Now they have the arrogance to say we have the best squad, a complete and competitive one on three fronts. I knew that the win agaist Torino is going to be bad news for our transfers..Really sad, they think we are morons
Absolutely ludicrous to not sign a defender. We desperately need a younger, faster CCB and it’s so obvious to see (even a year ago).
Unbelieavable, the new season has started, tough opponents in the UCL group stage, long and tiring domestic championship with the major teams having strengthened and still, the ownership refusing to get the squad prepared for what is ahead of us. This is shame!
We should have sold Bisseck and either Pavard or Palacios when we had the opportunity. Oaktree not signing a new defender despite the revenue from UCL and CWC is very concerning.
