Report – Inter Milan Keeping Close Tabs On Club Brugge & Udinese Defenders Ahead Of January Transfer Window | OneFootball

Inter Milan are reportedly keeping a close eye on Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez and Udinese center-back Oumar Solet.

According to Tuttosport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri are on the lookout for defensive reinforcements.

Inter will likely sever ties with several first-team stalwarts at the end of the season.

Indeed, Matteo Darmian, Francesco Acerbi, and Stefan de Vrij will be out of contract next June.

Furthermore, the San Siro giants have yet to offer them new deals.

There’s no longer any doubt regarding Manuel Akanji’s future.

Inter have already decided to exercise the buyout clause in their loan agreement with Manchester City.

However, Akanji’s purchase alone will not be enough to address Inter’s looming defensive overhaul, prompting the club to explore additional options.

Therefore, they’re closely monitoring Joel Ordonez’s progress at Club Brugge.
