The summer months will be crucial for the future of Inter’s defense. The backline will indeed require renewed attention in the transfer market, primarily due to the advancing age of players such as De Vrij and Acerbi, with the latter’s contract expiring soon. Consequently, the Nerazzurri are already searching for a possible replacement for the Italian defender.
According to Tuttosport, a new idea has emerged within Inter’s management: this involves Jay Idzes, currently at Venezia. Born in 2000, the Indonesian defender has been one of the most pleasant surprises of this season, showcasing excellent performances consistently against Serie A’s top forwards.
Strong at marking and anticipation, Inter have targeted Idzes as Acerbi’s successor, and the potential deal could be helped by their positive relationship with Venezia, following several successful transactions between the two clubs in recent months.
Idzes option in defense: Atalanta also interested
Having previously been mentioned among Napoli’s targets as well, Inter now appear to have a direct competitor for Idzes. According to Tuttosport, Atalanta also identify Idzes as an ideal candidate to replace Hien, who could possibly exit this summer. Interestingly, Inter themselves are among the clubs following the Swedish centre-back, leaving room open for a potential market connection.
