Inter hesitant to activate Zalewski's option

One of the players that may feel the consequences of Inter's managerial switch is Nicola Zalewski who is currently there on loan from Roma. Advertisement In fact, as reported by Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo, the Nerazzurri have not yet decided whether to exercise the buy option for the Pole set at 6.5 million.

Inter Milan complete the signing of Brazilian forward Luis Henrique
Inter Milan have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Luis Henrique from Marseille, as confirmed by the club. Henrique is Inter's second signing of the summer following Croatian midfielder Petar Sucic's arrival from Dinamo Zagreb days earlier. Advertisement The Italian giants fought off competition from German giants Bayern Munich to secure the services of Henrique, who will reportedly pen a new five-year contract. The Nerazzurri will pay a transfer fee of €25 million, and the Brazilian is set to earn around €2.5 million per season at San Siro. Les Minots signed Henrique from Botafogo in 2020, and he steadily grew as one of their key players in the following years. He enjoyed his most productive campaign last season, tallying nine goals and ten assists in all competitions to help Roberto De Zerbi's side qualify for the Champions League. De Zerbi benefited largely from Henrique's versatility last season. Primarily a winger, the 23-year-old was deployed as a right wing-back whenever Marseille played in a back-three system. Advertisement Henrique is known for his explosive pace, playmaking abilities, finishing and dribbling flair. He is also a menacing presence in the final third and can progress the ball from deep effectively. The Brazilian can provide competition for Denzel Dumfries at the right-wing back position. He can also be used as a Mezalla or back-up to striker duo Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez. Inter are expected to announce Cristian Chivu as their new head coach soon, following Simone Inzaghi's departure to Al-Hilal. The Nerazzurri are also looking to strengthen their forward line following the underwhelming performances of Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic last season. Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund is their priority target, with Inter in continuous contact with the Red Devils and the player's entourage.
