Motta offered to Inter Milan as Fabregas talks collapse | OneFootball

Inter Milan’s search for a new manager appears to be leading nowhere after their talks with Como gaffer Cesc Fabregas fell through.

Fabregas has been chosen as the top target to lead Nerazzurri’s project after Simone Inzaghi recently joined Saudi giants Al-Hilal for a lucrative offer.

However, Como president Mirwan Suwarso has made it clear that they will not sell the Spaniard, who helped the newcomers to an impressive tenth-placed finish in the 2024/25 season.

Italian Journalist Nicolo Schira claims that ex-Juventus manager Thiago Motta has been offered to Inter through an intermediary.

Motta rose to prominence after guiding Bologna to the Champions League qualification in the 2023/24 season, which helped him land a job with Juventus.

But his time with the Bianconeri didn’t pan out well. A series of humiliating results led to his sacking in March, with Igor Tudor named as his replacement.

Despite starting well, Motta’s short stint in Turin was marked by inconsistent performances in both Serie A and Europe and a falling out with the players.

A former Inter player and part of the historic treble-winning side in 2010 under Jose Mourinho, Motta could be tempted to return to San Siro.

Inter have also lined up Genoa’s Patrick Vieira as one of the alternatives for the managerial position.

The former Crystal Palace boss led Genoa to a 13th-place finish in the recently concluded Serie A campaign.

Cristian Chivu is also on Inter’s wishlist, but the chances of his arrival are slim as Parma are in talks to extend his contract.

Inter looked on course to win a treble this season, but only to squander everything in the space of a month.

They will kick off their Club World Cup campaign against Monterrey this month.
