Inter Milan preseason progress and friendly win

Entities: Cristi Chivu · Cristian Chivu · Karlsruhe SC · Andy Diouf · Tim Civeja

Overview

Inter Milan’s 2026‑27 preseason continues in Germany, where Simone Inzaghi’s staff persists with a 3‑5‑2 set‑up. Recent arrivals Andy Diouf, Aleksandar Stanković and Carlos Augusto receive minutes; Diouf notably scored twice in a training match. The goalkeeper rotation now features both Martínez and newcomer Ivan Provedel.

Palermo’s Val Gardena camp remains incomplete. Coach Giacomo Inzaghi is shaping a 4‑2‑3‑1 system but still lacks several starting‑level forwards. Transfer talks for winger Rao have stalled, prompting the club to explore alternatives on the right flank such as Kamaté and Rui Modesto.

On 26 July, Inter played a pre‑season friendly against Karlsruhe SC at the BBBank Wildpark. Acting coach Cristian Chivu oversaw the side, which came from behind to win 2‑1 thanks to a brace from Andy Diouf in stoppage time. Diouf pledged to "play and win every match," while Chivu highlighted the test as valuable preparation for the Serie A opener on 22 August.

The camp’s focus remains on squad integration, tactical fine‑tuning and building momentum ahead of the domestic campaign, with the club eyeing a defence of its league‑and‑cup double, a Supercoppa bid and better Champions League performance.
