Inter Transfer Market: Beppe Marotta on the Hunt for a Bargain—3 Ideas for the Offense

Luis Henrique is getting closer and closer to staying at Inter: Roma had been in talks with the Brazilian for a long time, and his move to the capital seemed all but certain, but then the Giallorossi finalized a deal with Porto for Rodrigo Mora, and the Inter player was left out of the picture.

However, surprises cannot be ruled out: Luis Henrique remains on the radar of Besiktas and Bournemouth, and major developments are expected in the coming days. Should he leave, Inter could return to the transfer market to replace him, and Beppe Marotta already has a clear plan.

One of the first players the Nerazzurri might contact is Federico Chiesa, a long-time target of Inter who was pursued even after his departure from Juventus. The star is on the fringes of Liverpool’s plans and is open to a return to Serie A to revive his career and re-earn a spot on the national team.

Inter also has its sights set on Jadon Sancho, now a free agent following his disappointing loan spell at Aston Villa. The Englishman, who has undergone a surreal decline in recent years, is eager for a comeback and is training hard to prove he’s still capable of competing at the highest level.

Raheem Sterling is another viable option, though less likely than Chiesa and Sancho. Just like the former Manchester United player, Sterling has fallen by the wayside after stellar years at Chelsea: his move to Arsenal was successful only initially; the star then transferred to Feyenoord for the last six months of last season but failed to shine.

It’s rather unlikely that Inter would decide to take a chance on Sterling, but if he were available on a free transfer and willing to settle for a salary well below the team average, there might be a glimmer of hope.
