Inter’s three targets to replace Dumfries as Cancelo heading to Barcelona | OneFootball

Inter are reportedly interested in Dodo, Nahuel Molina and even the possible return of Mattia Zanotti as their main target on the right flank, Joao Cancelo, is set to join Barcelona.

Inter are on the market for a new right midfielder as their starter, Denzel Dumfries, is not expected to return to action before March 2026.

The Nerazzurri had opened talks with Al-Hilal for Cancelo, but the Portuguese defender has opted to return to Barcelona instead.

Matteo Moretto (via FcInter1908) has claimed that Fiorentina right-back Dodo is an option for the Nerazzurri even if the Serie A giants have not yet begun negotiations with the Tuscans. Napoli, on the other hand, already inquired about the Brazilian.

Tuttosport (via FcInter1908) includes Atletico Madrid’s Nahuel Molina among Inter’s options for the right flank, but according to the Turin-based paper, the Nerazzurri could also consider the return of Zanotti.

The 22-year-old is a product of Inter’s academy, and the Serie A giants hold a sell-on clause, so his possible return from FC Lugano would probably be cheaper than signing Dodo or Molina.
