Despite refusing to terminate Francesco Acerbi's contract, Inter are trying to add to Cristian Chivu's defensive options.
Indeed, they've already identified their priorities.
Giovanni Leoni is on top, but Parma's €40 million asking price could throw a spanner in the works.

Chivu dreams of reuniting with the 18-year-old at San Siro.
However, Inter cannot afford to match Parma's request. Furthermore, Liverpool have recently joined the race for Leoni.
Therefore, they've shifted their attention toward Koni De Winter.
At 23, the ex-Juventus youngster still has ample room for improvement.

Nonetheless, he enjoyed an impressive 2024/25 season at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Moreover, his versatility makes him a perfect candidate to replace Yann Bisseck, who could move to the Premier League.
It's also worth noting that the two deals are not mutually exclusive.

Report – Nigeria Star Upsets Atalanta Last-Ditch Attempt To Prevent Him From Joining Inter Milan
Ademola Lookman has handed Inter Milan a crucial transfer boost after turning down a chance to sign a new contract at Atalanta. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 27-year-old is determined to force his move to San Siro. For context, Ademola Lookman has already accepted Inter's contract offer, worth €4.5 million net per season. Meanwhile, Inter submitted a €45 million bid in written form yesterday. Despite Atalanta's hesitation, the deal could go through soon. Atalanta Star Ademola Lookman Hands Inter Milan Huge Transfer Boost BERGAMO, ITALY – JANUARY 18: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC looks on during the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and SSC Napoli at Gewiss Stadium on January 18, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Part of the reason Atalanta refused to respond to Inter's offer immediately was their attempt to change Lookman's mind. Indeed, they've outmatched Inter's contract proposal, offering the Nigerian €5 million net per season. However, their hopes of blocking his transfer fell apart as the player only wants to join the Nerazzurri. Therefore, La Dea can already start preparing for life after Lookman. Meanwhile, selling the former RB Leipzig forward had been part of the club's transfer plans before Mateo Retegui's exit. But the Italian's big-money move to Al-Qadsiah has changed their market strategy.

Report – Inter Milan Consider Chelsea Flop As ‘Plan B' If Pursuit Of Atalanta Talisman Fails
Inter Milan will reportedly consider a swoop for Chelsea outcast Christopher Nkunku if they fail to sign Ademola Lookman. According to Il Messaggero via FCInter1908, the French forward has emerged as a potential 'Plan B.' However, Cristian Chivu's men remain confident of signing the 27-year-old Nigerian. Talks with Atalanta have reached advanced stages despite La Dea's intention to drive a hard bargain. Indeed, it feels like it's only a matter of time before they crack under pressure. Inter Milan to Target Christopher Nkunku if Ademola Lookman Deal Fails TURIN, ITALY – MARCH 09: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Chivu has identified Ademola Lookman as an ideal attacking reinforcement. Therefore, Inter have put in maximum effort to secure his signature. However, if their quest to lure him away from Bergamo comes a cropper, they'll need to consider other options. Juventus flop Nico Gonzalez is a viable alternative despite his lackluster season at the Allianz Stadium. Yet, Inter may look beyond Serie A borders to strengthen their frontline. As such, Nkunku could be a solution, especially with Chelsea open to selling him on favorable terms.

Not Just Asllani – Iran & Germany Stars Determined To Convince New Inter Milan Coach To Take Them Off The Market
Mehdi Taremi and Yann Bisseck have not given up hope of regaining the trust of Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu. According to La Repubblica via FCInter1908, they're working hard to convince the manager to take them off the market. Both players are keen to earn back Inter's trust. Meanwhile, the Serie A runners-up have put them up for sale alongside Albanian flop Kristjan Asllani. However, the 23-year-old midfielder has already rejected a move to Real Betis to fight for a place at San Siro. Inter Milan Stars Mehdi Taremi & Yann Bisseck Eager to Earn Back Cristian Chivu Trust RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – JANUARY 06: Mehdi Taremi of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Italian Super Cup Final between FC Internazionale and AC Milan at Kingdom Arena on January 06, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by) Following Asllani's example, Yann Bisseck is keen to secure a lifeline in Lombardy. Despite Inter's intention to sell him, the German hopes to return to the club's good graces. The same applies to Taremi, who had a forgettable first season in Italy. He arrived from Porto as one of Europe's most lethal goal-scorers, only to become a scapegoat at San Siro. Therefore, Inter are determined to cash in on the 33-year-old.
