From some young players who might want to look elsewhere for more minutes and continuity to those who had already left Milan last summer. And from Frattesi onwards, here’s how the Nerazzurri club can finance part of the summer transfer market

There is Oaktree’s budget but there is also another portion of liquidity. Let’s call it a extra budget which Inter is ready to put aside and then back on the table to finance part of its signing campaign. As? Inevitably with sales. And in this sense the list of possible starters starts with Davide Frattesi and ends with kids like Ebenezer Akinsanmiro who will be bought out by Pisa. Redundancies that become potential resources. No excellent transfers, but if clubs come knocking at the offices in Viale della Liberazione with the right proposals for certain elements, then Inter will be ready to evaluate any outgoing situation.

frattesi and the “old new”

Let’s start from the first name which is that of Frattesi. Nottingham Forest have returned to the office for the midfielder but Inter have not yet received a formal offer. The right one would be 30 million, or so; certainly no less than 25 fixed. Then there are the situations linked to the future of two signings from last summer: Andy Diouf and Luis Henrique. Ears open, antennae straight. Also because it is unlikely that next season the 2003 and 2001 players will be able to climb the hierarchies and become starters of an Inter that is already navigating abundance in midfield and is still looking for the shot (like Curtis Jones, for example) to strengthen itself definitively in the middle. So it is clear that if the desire to play more on the part of the two boys were to increase and some club were to emerge capable of guaranteeing them more minutes, continuity and centrality within a project, the reflections would be immediate. But watch out for the cost. The first arrived a year ago for 20 million, the second cost around 22.

asllani and pavard to place

Another element already present in the squad but who would like a more prominent role is Carlos Augusto. His contract expires in 2028 but the renewal issue remains unchanged. Flat calm. And the possibility that some foreign wind could take it away is not at all out of the question. We will see. Finally, there are more distant issues but only in appearance. Kristjan Asllani is the first. The Albanian midfielder played last season at Besiktas. The loan was for one year and the transfer formula ended with a right of redemption which for the Turks is set at 11 million. A bit of Akisanmiro’s situation with Pisa; but in this case the Tuscans have already informed Inter that they will buy the twenty-one year old for 7 million. Returning to Asllani, on this front everything is still at stake but a treasure of that kind would still be useful for a club that is also waiting to collect the 20 million clause of Denzel Dumfries, Real Madrid’s next right winger, and the 4 of Sebastiano Esposito automatically redeemed by Cagliari by virtue of the safety of the Sardinians (who, in the event that they were to resell the player for more than 4 million, would owe a further 40% to the Nerazzurri for a future transfer). But at the same time Inter have already spent 15 million to buy Manuel Akanji from Manchester City and 23 to buy back Aleksandar Stankovic from Bruges (although here in the entry expense we can show “only” 13 million, i.e. the difference between what the Nerazzurri paid now and the 10 million paid by the Belgian club to take the midfielder from Inter a year ago). Closing the circle of redundancies, there is finally Benjamin Pavard, returning from a dry loan to Marseille. A player definitely worth placing because he is no longer – and not from now – in the Inter technical project. How much? No less than 10-12 million.
