The vice-president of Inter Milan, Javier Zanetti, has recently expressed his ambitions to protect the club’s market floor for the final summer transfer, revealing that the Nerazzurri intend to significantly strengthen the squad with the arrival of “important players” in the future. Zanetti’s words came at a time of great enthusiasm for Inter, in a season that has seen the squad return significantly, but with the origins turning to the future.
Despite the triumph in the championship in the 2023/24 season, which saw Inter graduate as champions of Italy, the Milanese club had a relatively calm summer market last year. In fact, only three new players were able to arrive at San Siro: Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi, both acquired parameter zero, and Josep Martinez, acquired from Genoa for 14 million euros. Although these grafts have contributed to the success of the team, the market has not been as lively as in other seasons.
However, Zanetti has assured that Inter will become the main protagonist in the next final transfer. Inter has agreed upon the arrival of Petar Sucic from Dinamo Zagabria, with the young Croatian talent who will join the Milanese club starting today. Sucic, that has given attention to the attention of many osservatori, is considered one of the promises più interessanti in circulation, and its signature represents the first step towards an ambitious strengthening campaign.
Inoltre, secondo quanto reportato, the club has guaranteed the fiducia of Nicola Zalewski, another name that could soon be part of the Nerazzurri rose. The Polish term, which is currently on loan in Rome, may be definitively acquired by Inter, activating the termination clause in its loan contract. His recent achievement is another significant step in the construction of a squad that, apart from competing for the title of the Italian champions, has also dominated international football.
But these aren’t the only market operations planned. Zanetti confirmed that Inter also have some high-caliber purchases planned, with Marseille winger Luis Henrique expected to be one of the Milanese club’s main targets. Henrique is a player of great quality and his performances in Ligue 1 have made him one of the most sought-after wingers on the market. Inter appear ready to make a major effort to bring him to Milan, in an operation that would be a clear signal of the club’s desire to strengthen the team with players of international value.
Zanetti stressed the importance of facing future challenges with the right mindset. “Right now, we are all still excited about what happened yesterday,” the vice president said, referring to recent successes. “However, the time to sit down and start planning for next season is near. With the experience gained from all the games we have played – and the ones we still have to play – some additions will be made. Some important players will arrive.”
Zanetti’s vision is not only about the market, but also about Inter’s upcoming commitment to the FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament that the Milanese club intends to approach with the utmost seriousness. “We want to approach the Club World Cup with great seriousness, first and foremost for the club we represent,” said Zanetti. “Everyone likes to win and compete. We will try to do our best and prepare in the best possible way. We will recharge our batteries for this new tournament.”
Before facing the Club World Cup, however, Inter has other equally ambitious goals. The club intends to fight until the end to defend the title of champion of Italy and, at the same time, aim for victory in the Champions League. The ambitions are high, and the Nerazzurri management is preparing the ground for a new season of successes, with a mix of experience and young talents that should allow Inter to be a protagonist on all fronts.
The upcoming season promises to be full of challenges, but with the arrival of international players, Inter seems destined to grow even stronger. Zanetti, with his statements, sent a clear message: Inter is not satisfied with the successes achieved so far and aims to grow further, both nationally and internationally. The summer transfer window will be crucial to achieving these goals, and Nerazzurri fans can expect another summer of great movement, with the arrival of players who could change the face of the team for the coming years.
