Inter is already thinking about next season. While the team is engaged in the race for the Scudetto, the management is working to build the squad of the future. The 2026-27 season will bring significant changes: many new faces are ready to arrive, regardless of how the current championship ends. The goal is clear: to inject fresh energy into strategic areas of the field, from midfield to defense, all the way to the goal.
Coach Cristian Chivu had already identified Manu Koné as a top target months ago. The French midfielder from Roma remains in their sights: according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, even more than for his characteristics, the Inter coach is pushing to have him specifically. Inter is also counting on the economic needs of the Giallorossi club, which will likely have to make some sales regardless of possible qualification for the next Champions League.
The strengthening plan does not stop here. President Beppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio, always with the coach’s approval, are ready to invest 25 million to bring Aleksandar Stankovic back to Milan. The twenty-year-old has shown great potential at Club Bruges and enjoys the full trust of Chivu, who considers him perfect for the technical project.
The philosophy is to make the team more physical, tough, and hungry for success. Chivu has managed to work well with the resources available this season, but now wants to build an even more competitive group to face future challenges.
