Inter are preparing a huge sweep

Inter are suffering this season. After losing the title last May to neighboring AC Milan, Simone Inzaghi’s men are struggling to react. Of course, not everything is to be thrown away, even since the Italian club qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League at the expense of Barça, where they will face FC Porto, but the results are hard to follow. in the championship. 4th in Serie A for the moment, a new qualification in C1 is essential for next season.

Especially since the Nerazzurri are in the process of renewing their workforce in depth. It is even a gigantic sweep that is being prepared and for it to be effective, it is better to have significant resources available. The Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that there is everything to rebuild at the club. Moreover, 9 players are coming to the end of their contract and they will not be renewed. We are talking about Roberto Gagliardini, Danilo D’Ambrosio, and especially Milan Skriniar with whom relations have cooled considerably in recent days.

9 players out of contract

A departure this winter at PSG or elsewhere is always a possibility. At the same time, negotiations for an extension of Stefan De Vrij are still taking place. But the management wants to lower his salary and we are getting closer to a departure, just like for the legend Samir Handanovic, now understudy for André Onana, and whose last months on the bench have been difficult. Francesco Acerbi, he should be kept only Inter would like to negotiate down the purchase option which had been decided at the start of his loan with Lazio.

For Sky Sport Italia, the extensions of Matteo Darmian and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are complete. From now on, the urgency is to work on the files Edin Džeko and Alessandro Bastoni, whose contracts end respectively in 2023 and 2024. Joaquin Correa and Denzel Dumfries will be put on the market because their rating is still high, just like Marcelo Brozovic, who lost his starting place in Lombardy. Finally, there remains the thorny case Romelu Lukaku, whose loan is paying off.

The Lukaku case poses a problem

Inter know that a door has been opened by Chelsea for negotiation but the Belgian has been in poor shape since the start of the season (2 goals in 8 games in all competitions). Under current conditions, it is impossible to see him continue at the club next season, permanently or even in the form of a new loan, especially since his salary is very high. The face of Inter between this end of January and that of next September, risks taking quite a blow.
