- Inter has drawn up a summer market plan with an initial €50 million budget to be boosted by player sales and aims to recruit at least three starters, mainly two midfielders and a centre-back.
- Primary targets named in the coverage include Manu Koné and Marco Palestra while Curtis Jones is a listed alternative and interest in defenders Muharemovic and Solet is being monitored with Muharemovic now reported to have slowed.

- Preseason is set to start in mid-July with training in Baden-Württemberg followed by an international tour to Hong Kong to face Manchester City and matches in Australia versus Milan and Juventus while the club searches for an experienced backup goalkeeper to sit behind Josep Martínez.
