InterSummary
Generated byInter head into the final weeks of pre-season with a transfer window that has become increasingly difficult to navigate. What looked like a straightforward deal to sign Cristian Romero from Tottenham has hit a snag, with recent reports suggesting the Argentine defender is now attracted to Atletico Madrid, where compatriot Diego Simeone is in charge. This follows earlier setbacks in the window, with moves for Palestra and Khalaili both falling through before the Romero talks complicated further. The club did agree a fee of around 40 million euros with Spurs, but personal terms remain unresolved.
Filling the right-wing position vacated by Denzel Dumfries, who left for Real Madrid, has proved equally stubborn. Inter have held initial contacts over Nico Gonzalez, explored a possible swap involving Davide Frattesi and Juventus, and revived interest in Moussa Diaby, who plays in Saudi Arabia but wants to return to Europe. Coach Cristian Chivu made his needs clear after the Manchester City friendly, calling for reinforcements wide.
On the pitch, Inter drew 1-1 with Milan in a pre-season derby in Perth, with Federico Dimarco scoring before a late Nkunku penalty levelled it. Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram were both absent, a squad management call that Chivu flagged could affect his options for the opening Serie A weekend. Inter face Juventus next in another friendly on August 8, before the competitive season begins.
