Inter Secure Khalaili and Provedel, Shift Focus to Midfield and Defence

New arrivals free Inter to pursue Curtis Jones plus two centre-backs to rebuild the squad’s spine.

Overview

  • Anan Khalaili has an agreement with Union Saint-Gilloise and is expected to travel to Milan for medicals and to sign a five-year contract, with reports citing a fee of €25m plus bonuses and wages of about €2.2m per season.
  • Ivan Provedel is already signed as Inter’s new goalkeeper, completing the club’s immediate priority at that position.
  • Inter prioritises a central midfielder — with Liverpool’s Curtis Jones identified as the main target — while acknowledging high valuations for English midfielders could inflate the transfer cost.
  • The club wants two centre-backs: an experienced starter (Trevoh Chalobah leads the list but Chelsea’s demand is reported near €35–40m) and a younger option such as Jhon Lucumí, who has a reported €28m buyout clause valid until July 15.
  • To create roster spots and balance finances Inter is preparing multiple departures, with Davide Frattesi seeking a move and Aleksandar Stankovic’s future still uncertain as the club weighs sales and squad fits.
