The stay of Francesco Acerbi at Inter until June is by no means certain. The defender has come up in discussions between the Nerazzurri club and Al-Hilal, with the two clubs evaluating various market scenarios.
According to what has been revealed by Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano, the discussion regarding the possible arrival of Joao Cancelo is running parallel to a possible sale of Acerbi. The center-back, highly appreciated by Simone Inzaghi, could therefore leave Milan as early as this winter session. Negotiations remain open and the clubs are evaluating all the details of the operation. Despite his contract expiring at the end of the season, an immediate transfer would result in financial compensation for the Nerazzurri.
Here are the words of the two transfer market experts: “The Acerbi situation at Al-Hilal should be kept under observation. Acerbi has a contract expiring in June so Al-Hilal would have to pay compensation, but it is a possibility that is on the table, something the clubs have discussed and are discussing, so it is a track to follow. The Cancelo and Acerbi situations are two parallel discussions and perhaps the one regarding the Inter defender has been a bit underestimated in the media“.
The situation remains in flux and decisive developments could arrive in the coming days, with Inter already monitoring profiles to strengthen the defense.
