The summer transfer market ended with Inter eventually making moves in the defensive department as well. The arrival of Akanji, who came at the same time as Pavard‘s departure, however, cannot be considered the kind of signing capable of starting the hoped-for renewal.
For that, we will have to wait a bit longer, but not too much. In fact, as reported by several media outlets, a significant investment for a central defender could arrive as early as the January transfer window. It remains to be seen which profiles will be targeted by the Nerazzurri management.
The decision to postpone the big defensive signing came in the final weeks of the transfer window. After the Leoni and De Winter options fell through, Inter explored other possible very young targets, such as Jacquet from Lille and Akcicek from Fenerbahce, but for various reasons, none of them truly convinced. Inter is also reportedly interested in Solet from Udinese, who could become a target again in January.
