Inter Milan and AC Milan head into the derby with goalkeepers Yann Sommer and Mike Maignan under intense scrutiny, not only for their role on the pitch, but also for what comes next.

Sommer and Maignan remain the nailed‑on starters for the city rivals, yet neither has a guaranteed future beyond this season.

Indeed, forcing both clubs to move early in the market.

As highlighted by Corriere della Sera, via FCInter1908, the atmosphere around Inter’s goal feels unusually still, with the veteran Sommer approaching the end of his contract and expected to leave in June.

Milan’s situation is no less delicate: Maignan is also out of contract in 2025 and interest from abroad has pushed the Rossoneri to evaluate their options.

Inter & Milan Goalkeeper Targets Overlap For Post Sommer & Maignan

The paper stresses that the search is already overlapping, noting how “the names linked to Inter for the post‑Sommer are the same ones Milan are studying for the post‑Maignan.”

Targets include Cagliari’s Elia Caprile, Parma’s Japanese standout Suzuki, Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu, and Leeds’ Illan Meslier, who remains out of favour in England.

Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez also appears in the mix, with the Premier League linking him to Inter, though financial constraints make that pursuit complicated.
