Inter are still on the lookout for a new right wing-back after missing out on the signing of Marco Palestra, and Thursday’s reports claim that Roma’s Wesley and Fluminense’s Guga are now also included on the list of potential alternatives for the Nerazzurri.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that 21-year-old Italy talent Palestra is set to join Premier League side Chelsea in a deal that is expected to exceed €50m, potentially rising as high as €60m including bonuses. The Atalanta-owned youngster is set to pocket €30m over the course of his five or six-year Chelsea contract.
This comes as a massive blow for Inter, whose owners had set aside €50m for the signing of Palestra this summer. Inter are also set to lose starting right wing-back Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid after seeing the Dutchman’s €20m release clause activated earlier this month.
It remains to be seen where Inter will turn next after losing Dumfries and missing out on Palestra.
The encouraging news is that there should still be €70m to spend before any other players are sold, from the €20m Dumfries release clause and the €50m that had been set aside for Palestra.
There have been suggestions from the Corriere dello Sport that Inter could attempt to sign Nico Paz from Real Madrid for a fee in the region of €60m now that Palestra will not be moving to San Siro.
However, the Nerazzurri will still be needing a new right wing-back and other outlets suggest that the club are still evaluating potential ‘luxury’ options in that position.
There have been suggestions that Inter could turn to Juventus’s Andrea Cambiaso or Nottingham Forest’s Dan Ndoye, both valued in the region of €40m. Davide Frattesi could also be used in a player-plus-cash offer to both Juve and Forest. Fiorentina’s Dodo has also been touted as a potential alternative.
However, according to Thursday’s reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma’s Wesley is also an option for Inter this summer.

Roma do need to sell players by the end of the month to raise funds to comply with their financial fair play settlement agreement, but Gian Piero Gasperini considers the versatile Brazilian an unsellable asset, especially ahead of his side’s return to the Champions League next season.
La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that another Brazilian full-back has been offered to the Nerazzurri: 27-year-old Guga from Fluminense. He has a Portuguese passport, so would not count towards the club’s non-EU quota.

Elsewhere, if Inter are to bring in a new centre-back this summer, Udinese’s Oumar Solet remains the first choice, however, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah could also come back into fashion for Inter, especially if Solet ends up moving to Atletico Madrid. The England international is also of interest to Como.
