How Paratici’s Tottenham Hotspur Departure Has Fuelled Inter Milan Chances At Signing Italy Star | OneFootball

Yann Sommer will return to the starting line-up in Bergamo after Inter gave Josep Martinez a chance during the Supercoppa, and the club identify Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario as a potential long-term successor.

What remains unclear is whether Sommer will still be at the club next season.

His contract expires in June.

Inter are already planning ahead and want to bring Guglielmo Vicario back to Serie A.

Inter have already made initial contact with Vicario’s representatives.

The deal remains complex.

However, recent changes at Tottenham Hotspur have improved Inter’s position.

According to Tuttosport, the departure of Fabio Paratici removes a key obstacle.

Relations between Paratici and Beppe Marotta were strained following their time at Juventus.

That tension no longer affects negotiations.

Vicario remains Inter’s top choice.

Still, the club are also tracking alternatives.

One name under consideration is Noah Atubolu of SC Freiburg.

His age profile fits Oaktree’s strategy more closely, even if Vicario leads the shortlist.

Inter are also active in defence.

The club want to move quickly for Branimir Mlacic, a highly rated centre-back born in 2007 who plays for Hajduk Split.

Inter aim to avoid a bidding war.

They are considering two options.

One would bring Mlacic in immediately for the Under-23 side.

The other would leave him in Croatia until the end of the season, following a similar path to Petar Sucic.
