Behind Inter Milan's success in winning the Serie A title, there is a wave of player departures brewing, which is not only an ordinary transfer, but also a wonderful drama, with the protagonists each with their own agendas and their own merits. Let's kick off the drama and see who will be the focus of this summer's departure.
First up is Nicolò Barella, the 27-year-old midfielder who is the metronome on the pitch, moving faster than editing and passing the ball as precise as a game of golf. Barella's name popped up in the transfer market like a hot stock last summer, with several of the Premier League's biggest clubs vying for the Italy international. You say, what if this guy waves his hand and leaves with a price tag of 80 million euros? Inter Milan have to watch him closely, don't let him slip away like this!
Next up is Denzel Dumfries, a Dutch full-back who is lightning fast and took over Achraf's place last summer to great effect. But the 28-year-old's contract expires in 2025 and the club certainly don't want to see him leave for free next year. It is said that contract negotiations are deadlocked, and the tug-of-war between Dumfries and the club can be described as a war without gunpowder. If he doesn't renew his contract this summer, Inter may have no choice but to sell him, and as for buyers, the Premier League door is already open for him.
Let's take another look at Carboni, the 19-year-old Argentinian with a promising future but limited opportunities. In Simon Inzaghi's tactical system, he appears to be somewhat redundant. However, Carboni has shown promising potential during his loan spell at Monza, where he is rumoured to be worth €30 million. Several Serie A clubs have already started to play his mind, and the lad could have a new career high in the summer.
French striker Marcus Thuram, who made a splash against AC Milan, won not only the game but also the Serie A title with this goal. As a free transfer, Inter will not refuse a deal if a team is willing to pay a release fee of 85 million euros. However, Paris Saint-Germain and several clubs in the Premier League have already started lining up and seem to want to take him home.
Finally, Bastoni, the 25-year-old centre-back is the rock of Inter's defence. Last summer, he signed a long-term contract that expires in 2028. With such a key player, Inter is certainly not willing to let go easily. However, if there is a team willing to pay 80 million euros, Inter Milan may consider it. Manchester United, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are said to be keeping an eye on him
