Several Inter veterans are in the final months of their contracts, and the brass might not take any prisoners and part ways with them all. The officials are leaning in that direction for Francesco Acerbi, Stefano De Vrij, and Matteo Darmian, Tuttomercatoweb reports.
The two center-backs have been severely outplayed by Manuel Akanji and Yann Aurel Bisseck and haven’t starred consistently under Christian Chivu. Both were linked to Al-Hilal when the Nerazzurri tried to bring back Joao Cancelo.
The fullback has been a useful deputy for years, but he missed most of the season due to a calf injury when Inter could have used him, given Denzel Dumfries’ extended absence. The two Italians could decide to hang up their cleat. The Dutchman will have a few suitors as a free agent.
Yann Sommer is in the same spot, but he could stay if he agreed to serve as a deputy. His salary, €2.5M, isn’t too high, and a pay cut would be in order in this scenario. The Nerazzurri are going full steam ahead in their chase of Guglielmo Vicario. Elia Caprile is one of the main fallbacks.
In addition to a few Serie A options, including Milan target Mario Gila, La Beneamata is also eyeing some youngsters, for instance, River Plate’s Lautaro Rivero. He could be ready to make the jump to Europe in the summer, Mediaset informs.
It looks like they will undergo the overhaul they hinted at last year, but postponed to avoid messing too much with the squad after changing the coach. Most of them have outlived their usefulness. Though, replacing a host of players in one window would still be a challenging task.
