Inter Milan Plot Dream Moves For Lazio Defender & Roma Midfielder | OneFootball

Inter Milan are assessing immediate defensive solutions following Francesco Acerbi’s injury and Stefan de Vrij’s drop in the pecking order as the club plot moves for Lazio defender Mario Gila and Roma midfielder Manu Kone.

Tuttosport are reporting, via FCInterNews, that the club could act quickly if the right opportunity emerges.

Sporting director Piero Ausilio is working with a budget of €20–24 million.

Although the Nerazzurri are reluctant to commit a large fee unless the target aligns perfectly with their long-term plans.

For a more immediate boost, Inter are evaluating Lazio defender Mario Gila. The Spaniard earns €1.1 million and shares the same agent as Lautaro Martinez.

Indeed, a detail that could help facilitate negotiations.

Lazio need to generate funds to operate in the market and value the Spaniard at around €20 million. With a contract running until 2027, Gila represents a potentially attainable yet ambitious solution to strengthen the back line.

Inter are also monitoring midfield options as they plan for future changes.

Manu Koné remains the club’s dream target, particularly with Davide Frattesi linked to a possible future exit and Henrikh Mkhitaryan out of contract at the end of the season.

The Nerazzurri are keeping close tabs on internal prospects as well, with Ebenezer Akinsanmiro expected to be bought back in the summer.

In attack, no major moves are anticipated, with the club satisfied with its current depth and balance.
