Revealed – Why Inter Milan Took Italy Midfielder Off The Market
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. According to Sky Sport journalist Matteo Barzaghi via FCInter1908, Chivu views Frattesi as a perfect fit for his 3-4-2-1 system. Advertisement 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. Inter Milan Deem Davide Frattesi Unsellable MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 30: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale celebrates after scoring their team's secon goal during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Udinese Calcio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 30, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) 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.

Chivu Navigates Early Crisis In First Month At Inter Milan & FIFA Club World Cup
Chivu Navigates Early Crisis In First Month At Inter Milan & FIFA Club World Cup Cristian Chivu has gone straight into the deep end at Inter Milan, with an early crisis to navigate in his first few weeks in charge. This is highlighted in today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement It was always pretty obvious that Cristian Chivu had his work cut out for him as Inter Milan coach. The Romanian replaced Simone Inzaghi following the latter's controversial departure to join Al-Hilal. Inzaghi had been Inter coach for four years. Therefore, he had really built the team in his own image. Accordingly, Inzaghi's decision to prioritize the mountain of cash on offer in Saudi Arabia naturally sent shockwaves through the Nerazzurri. Not least considering his last match in charge was a humiliating shellacking at the hands of PSG in the Champions League final. Cristian Chivu Straight Into The Deep End With Early Crisis At Inter Milan SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 21: Cristian Chivu. Head Coach of FC Internazionale Milano, looks on during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between FC Internazionale Milano and Urawa Red Diamonds at Lumen Field on June 21, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) On the one hand, the circumstances of his arrival could mean there's 'nowhere to go but up' for Chivu at Inter. Advertisement Certainly, expectations were not tremendously high for the 44-year-old right away. However, that certainly does not mean that it's been a gentle beginning for Chivu. The Romanian has immediately had to deal with a real dressing room crisis. Comments by Inter captain Lautaro Martinez not-so-subtly imploring Hakan Calhanoglu to make up his mind and leave if he wants to join Galatasaray have upended the dressing room atmosphere. That has, on the one hand, given Chivu an opportunity to prove that he can control the dressing room. Even in the most difficult moments. However, by the same token, the Romanian coach is also facing early challenges to his authority.

Inter Milan, Monterrey seal Club World Cup last 16 berth
Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu has praised the adaptability and commitment of his team after they beat River Plate 2-0 in an intense group match to reach the last 16 of the Club World Cup. Francesco Esposito and Alessandro Bastoni scored the goals in the last quarter of the game to book the 20-times Italian champions a date with Brazilian club Fluminense in Charlotte on Monday. Chivu took charge of the squad for the first time at the Club World Cup, having replaced Simone Inzaghi on a two-year contract in early June. "The match was played with lots of character and willingness to win, to reach our goal, even though during the first half we were a bit surprised by their intensity, aggression and pressure. "Maybe the players were not so prepared at first, but then in the second half, we raised the level of intensity ... because we are strong, we're competent, we have players that can play such a game," said Chivu. Elsewhere, Monterrey advanced to the knockout rounds after their 4-0 thrashing of Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds, with the win securing second place in Group E behind Inter Milan. The Mexican side's coach Domenec Torrent has warned his players that they face another huge challenge when they take on Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 in Atlanta on Monday. "Each game, for me, is like a game of chess, just to see how the opponent is moving the players and how we can do it. Basically, step by step," said Torrent. "We are going to have three or four days to prepare for this new game, which is excellent for us to showcase our football to the world, Mexican football and Monterrey football, he added."
