Where Inter Milan need to strengthen

Despite consistent performances, Inter’s midfield lacks a true holding player. The reliance on Brozović and Barella leaves little margin for error.

Injuries have exposed the need for a box-to-box presence with defensive discipline. A deep-lying playmaker could unlock a new dimension.

Realistic targets: Who is actually available?

Inter are reportedly interested in Rodri, who has continued his impressive development at Manchester City. His leadership in big games is well documented.

Son Heung-min is being linked with a move away from Tottenham. At 33 in 2026, he could offer short-to-mid-term value with minimal risk.

The priority position: Why midfield is the most urgent need

Simone Inzaghi’s system thrives on control. Without a natural number 6, transitions become vulnerable.

Rodri would provide that security. He is widely regarded as one of the best in Europe at breaking up play and starting attacks.

Dream signing: The ambitious option

Signing Rodri would be a statement. Though not confirmed, sources suggest Inter could enter talks if City consider a transition.

"He’s the kind of player who wins Champions Leagues," said an insider with knowledge of the club’s planning.

Son Heung-min, while not a marquee name at this stage, would add tactical flexibility and experience.

What the squad could look like next season

With Rodri anchoring midfield and Son supporting Lautaro, Inter would have greater balance. Young talents could be integrated gradually.

The spine of the team — goalkeeper, defence, midfield pivot, striker — would be among Serie A’s strongest.
