Inter Milan are plotting a summer move for Liverpool and Italy defender Giovanni Leoni, with the Nerazzurri devising a broader recruitment strategy designed to bring fresh, high-quality additions to the squad without compromising financial sustainability.
According to SportMediaset, the early Champions League exit has accelerated Inter’s planning for the 2026/27 season.
Marotta and Ausilio are working on a player trading model.
Expiring contracts and the expected sale of Davide Frattesi will free up the funds needed to bring in new faces.
Inter Chasing Liverpool Youngster Leoni

Leoni is high on the list.
The young Italian defender is currently at Liverpool but the Nerazzurri see a move to Milan as the ideal environment for him to rebuild after a recent injury.
Inter’s growing relationship with Liverpool could prove key in getting a deal done.
The same connection opens the door to Curtis Jones.
The Englishman’s price tag drops significantly as he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield.
Jones remains a priority target and a player Cristian Chivu admires greatly.
The strategy is clear, sell smartly, buy cleverly, and use existing relationships to stay ahead of the competition.
With Leoni and Jones both fitting the profile of young, hungry players capable of improving the squad immediately, Inter are moving with purpose and intent heading into what promises to be a defining summer window.
Inter management a bunch of shite
injured players to buy ?????,
you just want players for nothing
BS news
For Jones not sure, but for Leoni the train has passed. I think out of many rumored defenders connected with us, the best and probably most realistic options in center and on the right side are Solet and Gila. Both are on expiring contract till next season, great seasons, both 2000th year born. Maybe some teenager also who has some experience at senior level already that can replace Akanji later, like Simic (Partizan), Schuster (Salzburg) or Markmann (Nordsjaelland), as i don’t think we have good enough prospect in that position who can takeover his place in 1, 2 year time, at least as far as i’ve watched.
Whats the point getting an injured player and ACL at that? Can the management just work with some common sense?
Leoni should have been bought last summer; that ship has sailed now.
Curtis does not convince me.
We dodged a bullet. Bad knees.
