Revealed – Why Inter Milan Took Italy Midfielder Off The Market
Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu has deemed in-demand midfielder Davide Frattesi 'untransferable' amid intense transfer speculation.

Davide Frattesi had seemed destined for a summer departure before Simone Inzaghi announced his move to Al-Hilal.
However, the doubt remained, with the 25-year-old generating plenty of interest across the continent.

In addition to Napoli and Roma, Atletico Madrid have emerged as potential suitors for the ex-Sassuolo midfielder.
Yet, Inter will not consider offers for Frattesi.
Indeed, his versatility perfectly fits Chivu's new tactical set-up, making him an invaluable asset.
Instead, the Nerazzurri will try to offload Kristjan Asllani.
Despite rejecting Real Betis' offer, the Albania international will likely leave San Siro by the end of the summer.
A potential switch to Bologna is on the cards, though Inter would need to lower their claims to facilitate the move.
As for Hakan Calhanoglu, his stay looks increasingly likely.

Mistrust – Inter Milan Executives Schedule Showdown Talks With Turkey Megastar Despite Agent's Exit Disclaimer
Hakan Calhanoglu will meet the Inter Milan hierarchy for showdown talks upon his return from vacation later today. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Serie A runners-up want to set things straight with the midfielder. For most of the players, today's reunion at Appiano Gentile is business as usual, but not for Hakan Calhanoglu. Indeed, the Turk will be under the microscope after taking the San Siro club on another rollercoaster ride this summer. Heavily linked with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, the 31-year-old never tried to quash rumors. And his silence made several leading Inter figures furious, including Beppe Marotta and Lautaro Martinez. Hakan Calhanoglu Set for Crunch Talks with Inter Milan MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates after scoring their team's second goal during the Coppa Italia, Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Despite reportedly clearing the air with El Toro, Calhanoglu is no longer a reliable presence at San Siro. It's hard to blame Inter for losing confidence in the former AC Milan midfielder after everything that happened this month. Indeed, the Turkish star never felt the urge to shut down the speculation with a straightforward public statement. Furthermore, a simple social media post would've done the trick. However, Calhanoglu remains tight-lipped, making the Nerazzurri question his loyalty. Therefore, the upcoming meeting will serve to determine whether he still has a future at the club.

Report – Inter Milan Determined To Offload Albania EURO 2024 Star Despite Real Betis Rejection
Inter Milan will not change their stance on Kristjan Asllani despite the player's recent decision to reject a move to Real Betis. According to FCInter1908, Asllani has no future at San Siro, with the Nerazzurri determined to cash in on his exit. Kristjan Asllani turned down a transfer to Andalusia earlier this summer. Though Inter accepted Betis' offer, the 23-year-old decided against joining Manuel Pellegrini's side. Indeed, he pointed to family reasons as the basis for his decision. Inter Milan Eager to Sell Kristjan Asllani MILAN, ITALY – JANUARY 19: Kristjan Asllani of FC Internazionale in action during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Empoli FC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on January 19, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Asllani is keen to stay in Serie A and won't accept any foreign offers. However, his position diminishes Inter's chances of finding a club capable of matching their €18 million asking price. Indeed, only a handful of Italian sides can meet that figure, and none has interest in the Albanian. Meanwhile, Inter plan to use funds from Asllani's sale to finance the arrival of Ademola Lookman. Furthermore, they're still interested in Giovanni Leoni to strengthen Cristian Chivu's backline.

Report – Inter Milan Agree Terms With Ex Juventus Defender – Yet To Agree Deal With Genoa
Genoa defender Koni De Winter has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Serie A runners-up Inter Milan. According to Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad via FCInterNews, Inter and De Winter have reached a 'verbal agreement.' Despite accepting Inter's contract offer, Koni De Winter is still a Genoa player. Therefore, the Nerazzurri must convince the Griffins to sell their star defender, which won't be simple. Indeed, Patrick Vieira's men value the Belgian center-back at €25 million. Inter Milan Reach Verbal Agreement with Genoa Ace Koni De Winter GENOA, ITALY – FEBRUARY 17: Koni De Winter of Genoa looks on during the Serie A match between Genoa and Venezia at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on February 17, 2025 in Genoa, Italy. (Photo by) De Winter has not been Inter's primary defensive target this summer. Although he had an outstanding season at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Inter had hoped to sign Giovanni Leoni. However, Parma's €40 million asking price and their unwillingness to budge on it seem to have deterred the Nerazzurri. As such, Cristian Chivu's men have turned to alternate targets. De Winter was one of the revelations in Serie A last term, cementing his place as Genoa's defensive cornerstone. With that in mind, the Griffins will unlikely lower their demands.
