According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter only need to bring in one more left-footed defender this summer to complete the squad. However, the skipper
Gianluigi Inzaghi Jr. (1960-), Italian footballer
and the club's new owners, the Oak Tree Foundation, have disagreed over reinforcement strategies.

Five new signings have been made: goalkeeper Martinez, midfielder Zielinski, striker Taremi, and two young players, Alex Perez and Luka Topalovic. However, the team also needs a left-footed defender to rotate Bastogne and make cameo appearances at left wingback when necessary. Last season, Inter conceded just 22 goals in 38 Serie A rounds, making them the second most solid defensive team in Europe's top 10 leagues. Solid defense will continue to be an important guarantee for Inter to achieve good results in the new season.
Inzaghi Jr. is most impressed by Swiss international Rolo, a versatile player who not only can play as a left center back and left defender, but also possesses excellent leadership skills, having served as captain of Torino.Rolo's contract expired at the end of June, and Inter could have signed him for free to serve as a replacement for Bastogne and Di Marco. However, Rolo will turn 32 in August, which is not in line with the Oak Foundation's reinforcement strategy.
The Oak Fund has been asking the club to bring in young and promising players since it became the owner of Inter. La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that there are three targets that the Oak Tree Foundation favors:
Leoni (name)
: At just 17 years old, he plays for Sampdoria in Serie B and is the second youngest debutant in Serie B history.
Kewiar
: The 24-year-old Polish international, who joined Arsenal in 2023 for a transfer fee of €25 million. Arsenal are on the verge of signing Carafiore this summer and are therefore ready to sell Kiviol.
Renan
: The 20-year-old Brazilian defender, who is currently on loan at Brazilian club Internacional, is owned by Zenit of the Russian Premier League, which is asking 20 million euros for him.
Inter are currently weighing their options to meet the tactical needs of manager Inzaghi Jr. and the reinforcement strategy of the club's new owners. Fans expect the team to find the best solution to remain competitive and have potential for future growth.
