Inter Milan Transfer News: Inter Milan has set their sights on Turkish center-back Merih Demiral as a top priority following the departure of Milan Skriniar to PSG.
Demiral’s decision to leave Atalanta has caught the attention of Simone Inzaghi, who is keen to bolster the team’s defense ahead of the upcoming season.
According to recent reports, Inter Milan is preparing an initial offer close to €20 million to secure the services of the 25-year-old Turkish player. Additionally, they are considering the possibility of a season-long loan, with an option or obligation to buy at the same agreed-upon value. Negotiations are expected to take place over the next few weeks before the Serie A kicks off.
The need for defensive reinforcements became evident with Milan Skriniar’s contract expiration, which saw him move to Paris Saint Germain. With Skriniar’s departure, Inter Milan is left with a void in their backline alongside Alessandro Bastoni, prompting them to pursue a new defensive leader. Merih Demiral, who seeks a fresh start away from Atalanta, emerges as a viable option for the Nerazzurri.
Last season, Demiral showcased his defensive prowess and versatility, appearing in numerous matches for Atalanta, where he contributed both goals and assists. The prospect of Demiral joining Inter Milan is enticing, and Atalanta seems open to negotiations, making the transfer more feasible.
