Revealed – Inter Milan 2025/26 Champions League Squad Confirmed – Swiss Center-Back In, Argentine Flop Out | OneFootball

Inter Milan have announced their squad for the 2025/26 Champions League season, with Manuel Akanji included and Tomas Palacios omitted.

According to FCInterNews, Francesco Pio Esposito will be on List B as the product of Inter’s youth academy.

Wounds from the debacle in last season’s final are still fresh as the Nerazzurri gear up for a new European campaign.

However, this will be their first Champions League season under Cristian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi in June.

Late summer signing Manuel Akanji has made the list despite joining the club on deadline day.

The 30-year-old has arrived from Manchester City on loan with an option to buy.

Meanwhile, Chivu has left Tomas Palacios out, keeping the Argentine flop on the fringes.

Inter tried to offload the 22-year-old defender during the summer transfer window.

However, after rejecting a move to Santos, Palacios will stay at San Siro at least until January.

Yet, he will not be part of Inter’s European squad and will likely be a marginal figure in Serie A.
