Inter focuses on the wingers, central defense dependent on Pavard

Cristian Chivu has shown the way. After the victory on penalties against Manchester City, the coach spoke clearly about the need to add another player on the flanks, stating that he currently has “three and a half wingers” available. The “half” is Carlos Augusto, whom the coach prefers to use as the third center-back rather than as a full wing-back.

According to Sky Sport, the Nerazzurri management is focusing its evaluations precisely on this department. With a month to go before the transfer window closes, strengthening the flanks is the club’s top priority. Chivu has publicly reiterated this need, confirming that more alternatives are needed to ensure adequate rotation during the season.

The discussion regarding the central defender remains open, but is subject to a possible departure of Benjamin Pavard. The name being monitored most closely remains Cristian Romero, a deal that would require a significant investment both for the transfer fee and the player’s salary. The negotiation, however, depends on outgoing moves and the financial resources that will become available in the coming weeks.
