The right-back position still needs to be filled. With Palestra slipping away, having moved to Chelsea after a long negotiation, Inter must now provide Chivu with a worthy successor to Denzel Dumfries, who has now been sold. The Nerazzurri club has been working for days to overcome this setback and identify the right profile for the right flank.

An important update comes from Fabrizio Romano, who provided an overview of the Nerazzurri’s transfer market: “Khalaili? Napoli moved early on the player’s side, which is the easier part because salaries in Belgium are lower. However, the Azzurri are waiting for some departures. Inter is also involved in this deal and is considering moving forward. Another right-back from the Premier League has been offered, but their priority remains Khalaili, for whom they are working hard.”

Ausilio therefore has clear ideas: despite an alternative proposal coming from England, the sporting director remains focused on the full-back from the Belgian league. Napoli has already reached an agreement with the player, facilitated by the salary differences compared to Italian clubs, but is waiting for the necessary sales before closing the deal. Inter remains alert and ready to act decisively.
