Inter Milan Prepare For Transfer Window Revolution In The Summer – Nerazzurri Boss Chivu Makes Two Requests To The Board | OneFootball

Inter Milan are bracing for one of their most significant summers of reconstruction in years, with Corriere della Sera reporting that a wholesale overhaul of the squad is now inevitable, and that Cristian Chivu has made two specific requests to the board to shape the rebuild around his vision for next season.

The scale of the departures alone demands urgent action, with reports via FCInter1908.

Acerbi, De Vrij and Darmian, three of the defensive pillars of the Inzaghi era, will all leave when their contracts expire in June.

Of the full group of expiring players, only Mkhitaryan appears to have any realistic chance of a renewal discussion.

Inter Milan Planning Squad Overhaul As Chivu Asks For Box-To-Box Midfielder

In goal, Sommer will also depart after what the Corriere describe as a mixed season, leaving sporting director Piero Ausilio with a dossier of goalkeeper targets to work through.

Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham remains the preferred option as an Italian, with Lunin of Real Madrid among the alternatives.

In defence, Bosnian teenager Muharemovic of Sassuolo tops the list of targets to help rebuild the backline.

Indeed, alongside the already-identified Oumar Solet from Udinese.

Chivu’s own requests to the board are clear and specific.

He wants a physically imposing, box-to-box midfielder in the mould of Manu Koné.

Indeed, a profile that would add dynamism and presence to a midfield that will look very different next season.

He has also pushed for a direct, pacey wide forward.

With Moussa Diaby the named target after the January approach to Al-Ittihad was rebuffed.

The outgoings will fund much of the activity.

Calhanoglu is considered very likely to return to Turkey, while Dumfries carries a €25 million release clause exercisable in July.

Corriere also flag the Palestra situation as one to watch, a name that could yet emerge as a significant piece of the summer jigsaw.
