Inter focuses on physicality and speed: Chivu agrees with the Premier League approach

The management and Chivu have agreed on a clear strategy for the transfer market: to build a squad focused on aggressiveness and speed, following the Premier League model. The goal is to raise the level even on the international stage, with three signings still to be completed before the league debut, scheduled in exactly 20 days.

In defense, Cristian Romero remains at the top of the list, with negotiations ongoing with Tottenham. The asking price is around 40 million euros, but there are still differences to be ironed out with the agent of the former Juve and Atalanta player regarding commissions and salary.

In midfield, the name is Curtis Jones from Liverpool. Chivu has expressed great appreciation for the midfielder’s qualities, but the demands of the Reds are the main obstacle: the asking price starts at 40 million. The Nerazzurri club is leveraging the contract expiring in June 2027, aiming to lower the price, since even the loan option is not feasible.

Finally, the club will also try to reinforce the right flank to fill the gap left by Dumfries, as highlighted yesterday by Chivu. On this front, things remain under the radar and, after the Palestra and Khalaili situations, the target profile has not yet emerged. The search continues, taking advantage of any convincing opportunities.
