Inter continues to scour the market in search of a right winger. While Spence and Read remain the names at the top of the list, the investment required for both remains high. In recent hours, an alternative profile has emerged: Wilfred Singo, a familiar face in Serie A.
The Ivorian born in 2000, formerly of Torino and currently at Galatasaray, is attracting the Nerazzurri’s attention for his physical attributes and versatility. He already knows the Italian league and boasts experience in the Champions League. Among the profiles considered, he is certainly among the most similar to the Dutchman who left for Madrid. In addition to being able to play up and down the flank, as he did during his time in Turin, during his period at Monaco he also learned to play as a right-sided center-back in a three-man defense.
At the World Cup, the defender impressed: before his injury, he was among the most positive players for his national team. Inter is considering him, but must deal with the valuation set by the Turkish club. Singo is tied to Galatasaray until 2030 with a contract worth 3.5 million net per season.
The salary represents an additional problem. To convince Wilfred to return to Italy, the Nerazzurri would have to offer at least 4 million net, about double what was allocated for Palestra first and Khalaili later. As a backup plan, the return of Ivan Perisic is also still on the table: the Croatian is just waiting for a call from Milan. However, his profile does not fully convince, both because of his age (38 in February) and because, although he is ambidextrous, he has always played on the left throughout his career.
