Inter Milan Consider Moves For Real Madrid & Barcelona Targets As Midfield Overhaul Planned For Summer | OneFootball

Inter Milan are planning a major summer rebuild, with Nico Paz and Nico Williams among the names under consideration as Cristian Chivu prepares to sign a contract extension with the club.

According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, Chivu will receive both a longer deal and a salary increase in recognition of an outstanding debut season.

He will also have significant input into recruitment.

The club want to build a more vertical, intense and physical style of play, and their transfer targets reflect that ambition.

A potential switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation is under consideration.

Nico Paz & Nico Williams Among Big Names Targeted By Inter

Midfield targets include Manu Koné, Ederson and Leon Goretzka, while Mkhitaryan could yet extend his stay.

Up front, Thuram’s future is uncertain if a big offer arrives.

Inter want a Lookman-type wide forward, Moussa Diaby remains a possibility after interest in January.

The bigger signings depend on Oaktree’s ambition.

If the ownership backs a marquee move, Nico Williams becomes a realistic option.

Nico Paz, however, is the name that unites everyone at the club.

The Argentine currently at Como would prefer a central role at Inter over competing for minutes at Real Madrid and much depends on what Madrid decide to do with him this summer.
