Inter Milan outlines 2026-27 squad as key players confirmed

Inter Milan has begun shaping its 2026‑27 lineup. The attacking line is expected to stay unchanged with Lautaro Martínez, Jules Koundé, Federico Esposito and Bonny Díaz, while club officials consider adding a fifth forward to give defender Alessandro Chivu more flexibility.

Mid‑field attention centers on Curtis Jones, who remains a top target, and Manu Koné, whose priority appears to have slipped. The club is also monitoring options such as Atta and Oumar Solet as potential backups, depending on Jones’ situation. Defensively, veteran defender Andrea Basile is set to leave on a free transfer, with interest from Monza, Genoa and clubs abroad, while Alessandro Bastoni is confirmed to stay despite rumors linking him to Barcelona. Goalkeeper negotiations continue, with Ivan Provedel of Lazio reportedly close to a three‑year deal, and Pep Martinez likely to become the new first‑choice keeper.

These early moves indicate Inter’s intent to maintain continuity while addressing key areas before the summer market intensifies.
