The Nerazzurri are expected to make big changes in central defence over the coming months, given that Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij are expected to leave at the end of their contracts in June.

Bassey has scored one goal in 18 appearances across all competitions this season and is a pivotal member of the team, whom Fulham don’t want to sell midway through the season.

Therefore, any potential move might only happen in the summer, when Inter will still be looking for at least one new centre-back.
