Inter does not want to start the new season with a coach expiring on June 30, 2026, and for this reason, the club has already started to evaluate alternatives.
However, the American ownership of Oaktree, which has benefited from the revenues generated during the Inzaghi cycle, is pushing for the coach's confirmation.
⚖️ The alternatives: De Zerbi and Fabregas
In case of a farewell with Inzaghi, the club is thinking of a young profile.
De Zerbi is the favorite of Piero Ausilio, but he has already promised Marseille to stay another year in France.
Fabregas, currently at Como, could instead become the first choice, but the Lombard club is not willing to stand by and the Spanish coach still needs to be convinced to accept the potential offer.
💣 The sensational attempt by Juventus
Juventus, in recent weeks, has conducted a survey with Inzaghi's agent, Tullio Tinti.

According to Tuttosport, then director Cristiano Giuntoli had made contacts to evaluate the possibility of a future agreement, but the attempt stalled after the renewal of the Juventus technical area and the automatic confirmation of Igor Tudor until 2026, following qualification in the Champions League.
However, the confirmation of Juventus' interest in Inzaghi remains, a sign that the Nerazzurri coach is also appreciated outside of Inter.
🏆 Club World Cup incoming
Inter cannot afford further hesitation: in fifteen days the team will be in America to play the Club World Cup.
The debut is set for Tuesday, June 17 at 18 local time, when it will be 3 in the morning on June 18 in Italy, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles against the Mexicans of Monterrey.
