According to the report of "Turin Sports News", unless there is a dramatic turn, Inter Milan's defense will basically continue to use the configuration of last season.

According to the "TuTi" report, Inter Milan intends to postpone the investment in introducing young central defenders until January or next summer in order to find the most suitable candidate at the technical and economic level.

The club has looked at some targets in the past few weeks, such as Rennes' Jaquet, but its transfer price is as high as €50 million, Fenerbahce's Aksicek, and Italian U20 international Chiarodia who plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach. The

central defender combination will still be played by two veterans Archerby (about 38) and Devrey (about 34). Their contracts will all expire in June 2026, and the club hopes they will maintain a high level for at least another season, or at least not have serious injury problems by January next year.

Another solution is to tap internal potential Bissek. Inzaghi, Xiao started to train him as a central defender in the three central defender system last season, and he has both physical conditions and potential. It is not ruled out that Zivo will let him try to play in the middle. If the experiment is successful, Inter may have found the successors of Archerby and Devrey internally.
