Leading Inter have scored avalanches of goals, but the defense has not always been beyond reproach. Therefore, the Nerazzurri management is scrambling to reinforce, and above all rejuvenate, the backline, also taking into account the fact that De Vrij and Acerbi will say goodbye to the Biscione at the end of the season.

Therefore, as Gazzetta dello Sport reports, given that the Dutchman could leave as early as January, the club has identified the possible man of the future: Branimir Mlacic, Croatian, 18 years old last March 12, who plays for Hajduk Split. He is a central player apparently very good at handling the ball and very well put together physically.

In the last few days contacts between the two clubs have intensified and in the January market Inter could make a quick offer that would put out of action the already very numerous competition interested in the boy, in particular Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Significant suitors then, hinting that Mlacic has great potential. If the deal goes through, Petar Sucic would go on loan to Hajduk to cut his teeth and then return as a regular starter and not an occasional starter as he has been so far this season.
