€80M Spending Not The End Of It – Inter Milan Still Aiming To Sign A Defender Before Transfer Window Closes | OneFootball

Inter Milan are reportedly still aiming to sign a defender before the transfer window closes to cap off their summer spending.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the more than €80 million Inter have outlayed so far won’t be the end of it.

Inter have made four signings so far this summer. Between them, Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique, Ange-Yoan Bonny, and Andy Diouf have cost in excess of €80 million.

However, there is a sense that there is still more room in the budget to bring in one more player.

And there is little doubt which area of the pitch Inter will be targeting in the final days of the transfer window.

Before the summer started, the expectation was certainly that Inter would sign a defender.

The likes of Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi will turn 34 and 38 this season respectively.

Therefore, Inter can hardly rely on that aging pair for much longer.

Furthermore, there are doubts about the depth on the left side of Inter’s defense.

Alessandro Bastoni is of course the first-choice starter. Furthermore, Carlos Augusto and Yann Bisseck have proven versatile enough to play in that role.

However, particularly after the exit of Nicola Zalewski which will push Augusto into the wingback role more, Inter will want a more regular backup for Bastoni.

Therefore, the Corriere report, Inter plan to sign a defender. It may be with just a couple days left in the transfer window, however.

The newspaper anticipate that the Nerazzurri are being patient. They don’t sense an imminent need and aren’t rushing. However, there plan is to bring someone in.
