Report – New Inter Milan Coach To Use Various Formations & Tactical solutions To Make Nerazzurri Less Predictable
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 44-year-old looks to implement several tactical changes to achieve this goal.
Despite Inzaghi's impressive results at San Siro, his tactical rigidness made Inter Milan easier to read and deal with.
Indeed, the 49-year-old never showed ambition to deviate from his hallmark 3-5-2 formation.
However, there's a new dawn in Milan.
Cristian Chivu Keen to Make Inter Milan More Difficult to Read

Starting with formation, Cristian Chivu aims to change things next season.
For context, Inter will no longer line up in Inzaghi's preferred set-up.
Instead, Chivu will encourage a more fluid attacking system, with the Nerazzurri expected to adopt a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Therefore, the club is working around the clock to sign Ademola Lookman.
Lookman's arrival would diversify Chivu's attacking options and allow Inter to add pace and unpredictability in the final third.
Furthermore, Chivu wants his team to be more 'vertical,' meaning Inter will be more direct next term.
Finally, the Romanian is eager for his side to be more aggressive without the ball and apply high pressure.

Report – Inter Milan Increasingly Confident Of Signing Atalanta Talisman
Inter Milan are reportedly growing optimistic about their chances of signing Ademola Lookman from Atalanta in the coming days. According to FCInter1908, Inter's confidence is not unfounded. During his latest interview, La Dea president Luca Percassi confirmed what everyone had already suspected. Indeed, he admitted that Ademola Lookman had requested a transfer, bolstering Inter's quest to land the Nigerian. However, the Serie A runners-up are still waiting for Atalanta's response to their official bid.

(Photo by) Inter presented Atalanta with a written offer yesterday. Beppe Marotta and his associates pieced together a substantial €45 million bid and put it on paper. Now, it's up to Atalanta to decide. However, their backs are against the wall, with Lookman eager to secure a transfer to San Siro. Atalanta's efforts to persuade the 27-year-old to stay stem from their desire to maintain a strong public image. Indeed, they can ill-afford to sanction two high-profile departures after Mateo Retegui's transfer to Al-Qadsiah.

Who could Milan sell to fund swoop for Liverpool's Chiesa
Last week, Milan sporting director Igli Tare said that the club will only pursue a new winger if they manage to offload one of their existing players, as speculation begins to grow that the club will move for Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa. Speaking to the press, Tare said 'We plan to intervene on the wings in the event of any exits.' Reports earlier today suggested that the Rossoneri are set to meet with Chiesa's representatives this week, so who could be leaving the club? Milan's Chukwueze wanted by Fulham? Samuel Chukwueze takes a penalty during the shoot-out after the pre-season friendly between Milan and Arsenal in Singapore in July, 2025 (picture via According to reports from the Gazzetta dello Sport, via MilanNews24, Premier League club Fulham are interested in signing Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze. La Liga club Real Betis have also been linked to the Nigerian but Fulham's interest appears more concrete. Aside from Chukwueze, Swiss forward Noah Okafor is also being linked away from the Rossoneri, despite performing well in pre-season. The 25-year-old scored twice in Milan's 4-2 victory over Liverpool but the Serie A side still consider the player to be up for sale. Is Chiesa worth it for Milan? Chiesa will not be a cheap purchase, even if the club manage to offload players to help finance the move. The 27-year-old signed for Premier League champions Liverpool last summer for €12 million, just two years after his €45 million move to Juventus from Fiorentina. Liverpool's Federico Chiesa reacts during the UEFA Champions League soccer match between AC Milan and Liverpool FC at Giuseppe Meazza stadium, 17 September 2024. EPA-EFE/MATTEO BAZZI Chiesa's contract with Liverpool does not expire until 2028 and therefore the Reds hold all the cards in any potential negotiation with Milan. The player's wage demands may be higher than the Rossoneri would like to pay, considering a shift in attitude off-the-pitch has led the club to attempt more sensible financial decisions. However, price aside, Chiesa could be a valuable addition. Massimiliano Allegri has re-joined the Rossoneri this summer as head coach and his time working with Chiesa at Juventus could be decisive in convincing the player to join and allowing him to flourish if he does. Chiesa played just 104 minutes in the 2024-25 Premier League campaign for Liverpool, making most of his appearances in cup competitions.
