These are intense days regarding the incoming transfer market for Inter. Marco Palestra is now a declared target, as is Curtis Jones for the midfield, even though the options Manu Koné and Nico Paz remain on the horizon. In defense, however, the two main names that have always been mentioned are Oumar Solet from Udinese and Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo, with Mario Gila always in the background.

However, having to replace a pillar of recent years like Francesco Acerbi, and perhaps even his trusted deputy Stefan De Vrij, Marotta and Ausilio are carefully considering the profile to sign. In fact, it cannot be ruled out that the choice may also fall on a high-level and experienced profile, someone who can immediately lead the defense with authority.

From here comes the hypothesis that seems to have emerged in the last few hours. As reported by colleague Raffaele Amato on calciomercato.it, Inter sporting director Ausilio is said to have made an initial inquiry for Antonio Rudiger, who is leaving Real Madrid on a free transfer. Born in 1993, 190cm tall, he is certainly a world-class profile with a high-level track record and experience in Serie A between 2015 and 2017, wearing the Roma shirt.

On the other hand, he would obviously have a significant cost in terms of salary and commissions, in addition to carrying some physical uncertainties. In the last two seasons in Madrid, the German has accumulated more than 170 days of absence, which forced him to miss 37 matches between club and national team. Finally, we will see if the arrival of José Mourinho on the bench could also change his future.
