According to Italian Sky Sports, the possibility of Inter Milan making signings in the winter window is minimal. However, they hope to introduce young defenders in the summer window, with 21-year-old central defender Davide Scarpa becoming one of their targets, for whom Atalanta has set a price of 60 million euros. Italian Sky Sports reported that by February this year, Archembi will be 37 years old, and De Vrij will also turn 33, both of whom are plagued by injuries. Although, according to Skira's report, Inter Milan has decided to activate De Vrij's renewal clause, it is valuable to build a new reliable defensive system. For Inter Milan, defensive stability is the foundation.
De Vrij's current contract will expire at the end of the season, but Inter Milan has already decided to activate the renewal clause and automatically renew with De Vrij until 2026. So far this season, De Vrij has played 19 times for Inter Milan in various events, scoring 1 goal. However, this is only a temporary guarantee. For Inter Milan, it still relies on promising stars in the future.
Considering the development of Bisek and Bastoni, Inter Milan's desired lineup is highly confident in becoming younger, starting from the backline, with relatively fewer issues in midfield (with younger players). Last summer window, Inter Milan tried to sign a young defender (Buonocore), but the cost became an obstacle to the transfer. Inter Milan has always been interested in Scarpa, but Atalanta still insists on a price of 60 million euros.
At this price, it is almost impossible for Inter Milan to sign the player. However, no matter what, Inter Milan plans to strengthen its defense in the summer window this year and inject young vitality into the squad (preferably with some experience). In the current situation, Inter Milan will not make signings in the winter window, but the club firmly believes that Pavard and Archembi will fully recover from their injuries in the coming weeks.
Italian central defender Davide Scarpa is currently 21 years old and can also play as a defensive midfielder. The young player's contract with Atalanta will expire in 2028, and his valuation on the German transfer market is 45 million euros. This season, Scarpa has only made 3 appearances for the Atalanta first team, playing for a total of 71 minutes. Besides Inter Milan, many other top clubs also highly recognize him. Real Madrid originally planned to buy him, unfortunately, Scarpa suffered a serious injury (knee cruciate ligament problem), and the deal did not continue.
