Inzaghi’s Inter has become a war machine by now and it is mainly thanks to an impassable midfield with an incredible mix of quantity and quality. Yet, behind that apparent stability, something is smoldering under the ashes: the age of some performers and the need for renewal suggest that at the end of the season some changes, even major ones, must be necessary.
That is why the Nerazzurri management might consider a real revolution for the upcoming summer market. If we were to summarize the broad idea, it sounds something like this: 80 million euros in revenue, destined to change the face of the heart of Inter’s game.
Let’s start with the current situation: Inter can boast a midfield with heavy names, such as Barella, Calhanoglu and Mkhitaryan. These three are now a certainty, but there is no shortage of signs of change, especially with the arrival of Piotr Zielinski.
The Pole immediately found his space, thanks in part to a similar path to the one taken in the past with Calhanoglu: from halfback to regista. If at first it seemed like a risk, today it is clear that Inzaghi has found a key pawn in his chessboard, also aided by the Turk’s recent physical problems.
But beware, because while Zielinski’s graft is proving successful, there are some unknowns. Such as Asllani, who while making a few steps forward, is still considered too immature to make the final leap. That is why, come June, Inter could decide to act decisively, aiming to renew its midfield with two or three heavy moves.
Il calciomercato estivo dell’Inter: Calhanoglu e Frattesi in uscita?
Let’s start with a name that already this winter risked saying goodbye to the Nerazzurri jersey: Davide Frattesi. The national team midfielder has struggled to carve out a permanent starting role for himself, despite positive signs. He is likely to be the first major transfer of the summer. There is talk of a figure around 40 million euros barring quid pro quo, a sum that could come in handy to finance incoming operations.

Another name that could pack his bags is Calhanoglu. The Turk is 31 years old and has a good market, especially for those looking for an experienced regista capable of dictating the tempo of the game. His transfer would bring another similar nest egg into Inter’s coffers, with at least 40 million ready to finance a big market.
With the proceeds of these operations, Inter could pull off a series of targeted strikes. The goal seems clear: to reinforce the midfield with young players, but already ready for the Serie A stage. The first purchase could be Samuele Ricci, the talented midfielder from Torino. A name that has been circulating on the Nerazzurri’s radar for some time and who, with his elegant and solid style of play, could become the future mainstay alongside Zielinski.
In addition, Inzaghi may decide to target another midfielder with similar characteristics to Barella. One profile that seems to fit into the plans is that of Frendrup, a talented 2001 class from Genoa. A player capable of giving energy, with a proactive mentality who could be the ideal alternative for the Nerazzurri midfield.
But that’s not the end of the story. Inzaghi may want to add another prized piece in midfield: an imaginative midfielder capable of picking up Mkhitaryan’s legacy. There is a dream aloud here: Nico Paz, the young phenom from Como, could become the hit of the market. Although he is more of a trequartista than a halfback, his quality and game vision make him a player with great potential. Inter could try to bring him to Milan as a future number 10, as well as an alternative in attack.
Inter’s midfield maneuvering is a project that could really change the face of the team. If all these operations were to materialize, the Nerazzurri’s squad could look younger, but with much higher quality in power. Frattesi and Calhanoglu represent the main suspects to leave Milan, but the incoming names are fascinating and could really raise the bar.
