Overview

• Florian Plettenberg reports Inter have added Noah Atubolu to their shortlist and scheduled talks with his camp, with the Freiburg goalkeeper under contract until June 2027.
• The interest forms part of succession planning as Yann Sommer, 36, faces an uncertain future after recent rotation and with his deal nearing its end next summer.
• Cristian Chivu reacted to a 5-4 derby loss by elevating Josip Martinez and moving to share minutes between Martinez and Sommer this season.
• Atubolu’s profile has risen with 84 Freiburg appearances, Europa League qualification, a Bundesliga record of five consecutive penalty saves, and a first Germany call-up replacing Oliver Baumann.
• Inter are also tracking alternatives, with Elia Caprile and Marco Carnesecchi cited as options, while a separate report notes a release clause in Atubolu’s deal and Bundesliga interest.
