Francesco Acerbi has been an Inter Milan player for the past three years. He joined from Lazio in the summer of 2022.
During that period, Acerbi has been a stalwart at the back for Inter.
However, there is no getting around the fact that Acerbi is now well into his thirties. He will turn 38 next season.

Reportedly, Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal are keen to sign Acerbi.
The Saudi club have already appointed former Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi. And Inzaghi is keen to have a familiar face join him, in the form of Acerbi.
However, according to SportMediaset, the Italian international does not want to drop down to a lower sporting level by making the move to the Saudi top flight.

Rather, Acerbi is keen to continue playing at a high level.
Therefore, the 37-year-old may well prioritize staying at Inter.
On the other hand, Inter could terminate Acerbi's contract by paying the defender out a clause of €500,000.

Report – Inter Milan Submit Offer For Cremonese Striker To Strengthen U23 Squad
Serie A runners-up Inter Milan have reportedly submitted a formal offer for Cremonese youngster David Stuckler. According to Sky Sport via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri have already presented their bid to La Cremo. Inter's quest to reinforce the U23 team is showing no signs of stopping. After appointing Stefano Vecchi as head coach, the Nerazzurri are keen to bolster the squad. Therefore, they're scouring the market for reinforcements. Inter Milan Make Official Bid for Cremonese Starlet David Stuckler UDINE, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 18: Giuseppe Marotta, CEO for sport at FC Internazionale looks on prior to the Serie A match between Udinese Calcio and FC Internazionale at Dacia Arena on September 18, 2022 in Udine, Italy. (Photo by) Although the report doesn't specify the figures, Inter have included a sell-on clause in their offer to Cremonese. Indeed, it would allow the Serie A newcomers to collect 20% from any future transfer fee. Therefore, the deal looks likely to go through soon. However, Stuckler will not join the first team. Instead, he will link up with Vecchi's side, which will compete in Serie C next term. Born in 2004, Stuckler is an out-and-out striker. Last season, he netted 16 goals for Giana in Serie C, meaning he already knows what to expect.

Atletico Madrid to sign defender David Hancko after Al-Nassr reportedly backs out
MADRID (AP) — Atletico Madrid has reached a deal to sign David Hancko after the defender reportedly was turned away by Al-Nassr when he arrived at the Saudi team's training camp. Atletico said Wednesday it has an agreement with Dutch club Feyenoord for the transfer of the Slovak player. The deal was pending a medical, and financial details were not disclosed. Spanish and Dutch media said Feyenoord had originally reached an agreement with Al-Nassr for Hancko's transfer, but the Saudi team — where Cristiano Ronaldo plays — reportedly backed away at the last minute. The defender had already arrived in Austria, where Al-Nassr was training, but was told there by Al-Nassr that the deal fell apart. Atletico, the third-place finisher in the Spanish league last season, has been boosting its squad in recent weeks. It signed 22-year-old right back Marc Pubill from Almeria, 24-year-old Argentina international Thiago Almada from Brazilian club Botafogo, midfielder Álex Baena from Villarreal and 22-year-old Italian left back Matteo Ruggeri from Atalanta. ___ AP soccer:
