Report – Inter Milan Could Offload Albania Star To Parma In Swap Deal
Inter Milan and Parma could reportedly make a swap deal involving midfielders Kristjan Asllani and Adrian Bernabe. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri could bring in Bernabe as a deputy for Hakan Calhanoglu. Advertisement Inter Milan are reportedly considering a number of Parma players as transfer targets. This follows from the imminent arrival of Cristian Chivu as Nerazzurri coach. Chivu has enjoyed success working with a number of the GIalloblu's young players. Therefore, there is a clear logic to reuniting the Romanian with one or two at Inter. Inter & Parma Could Make Asllani – Bernabe Swap Deal TURIN, ITALY – MAY 11: Kristjan Asllani of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Serie A match between Torino and FC Internazionale at Stadio Olimpico di Torino on May 11, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) One player who has come onto Inter's radar is 24-year-old midfielder Adrian Bernabe. The Spaniard, who came through the youth ranks at Barcelona and Manchester City, has established himself as a key player at the base of midfield for Parma. Advertisement And this has attracted the interest of Inter. Holding midfield is one area where the Nerazzurri will be targeting a signing this summer. The Nerazzurri have yet to really find a convincing backup for Hakan Calhanoglu at the base of their midfield. Kristjan Asllani has only found partial success in that role. Therefore, if Inter are to move for Bernabe, they could offer Asllani as part of a deal. For Parma, this would have the advantage of giving them an immediate direct replacement for the Spaniard.
