For weeks now, there have been rumors about a possible change of formation for Inter in the next season. The talk ranges from a “simple” variation to a 3-4-2-1, up to a possible switch to a four-man defense, which hasn’t been seen at the Nerazzurri for almost ten years, that is, since the Spalletti era, which lasted until May 2019.
In this regard, however, the well-known transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano has clarified Inter’s strategies by stating the following: “I understand that in 2026/27 they will continue with the 3-5-2 and that Inter is counting on Calhanoglu”. This is also an important confirmation for the Turkish midfielder, who Chivu seems to have convinced to stay for next season and, why not, maybe even to renew his contract expiring in 2027.
What is likely to happen tactically, instead, is not a change of system but rather the inclusion of players with different characteristics who can offer a new approach to interpreting the 3-5-2. “The club is also looking for wingers with different and more offensive characteristics,” Romano also stated, adding that a more physical midfielder and a forward who excels in one-on-one situations will also be added.
