Pedulla: Inter Milan Not Targeting Genoa & Denmark Star Despite Reports
This according to Sport Italia transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla. He reports on his homepage that the Nerazzurri do not consider central midfield to be a priority area.
A number of recent reports have suggested that Inter are eyeing up a move for Morten Frendrup.
The Denmark international has been one of the outstanding midfielders in Serie A in the last couple of seasons with Genoa, in terms of his defensive characteristics and ball-winning abilities.
And these are traits which Inter coach Cristian Chivu certainly wants from his central midfielders.

Inter do rate Frendrup highly. However, according to SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla, he is not a player they plan to go after this summer.
The Nerazzurri already have a couple of players with similar profiles to Frendrup in their squad.
Nicolo Barella and Petar Sucic are both players Inter plan to build around next season.
Therefore, Pedulla anticipates, the Nerazzurri are unlikely to attempt to sign a player like Frendrup this summer.

Report – Inter Milan & Lille Still Far Apart On Fee For Ex Bayern Munich Star
Inter Milan and Lille are still reportedly quite far apart on a transfer fee for defender Benjamin Pavard. This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan signed Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich two years ago. And while he has made a big impact, there is a feeling that his form suffered a definite drop-off last season. Furthermore, the Frenchman will turn thirty next campaign. Therefore, there is a nagging sense that this may be the right time for Inter to cash in. Inter & Lille Still Far Apart On Fee For Benjamin Pavard MUNICH, GERMANY – MAY 31: Benjamin Pavard of FC Internazionale in action during the UEFA Champions League Final 2025 between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano at Munich Arena on May 31, 2025 in Munich, Germany.

The Frenchman came through Lille's youth team system before making a move to Stuttgart after 25 senior appearances for the club. And Lille see a potential opportunity to bolster their squad in defense. They will be competing in the Europa League this season. According to SportMediaset, however, the French club are still a long way away from convincing Inter on a deal for Pavard. The Nerazzurri may be willing to offers for the 29-year-old this summer. However, that does not mean that they are going to offload him for a cut-price fee.

Report – Inter Milan Consider Move For Genoa Star Before Deadline Day
Inter Milan are reportedly considering a move to sign Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup before the transfer window closes. This according to Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri could aim to sign the Dane after their pursuit of Manu Kone came to nothing. Inter Milan are already fairly well-stocked in midfield. However, there are questions about whether the Nerazzurri have the right profiles for new coach Cristian Chivu. Inter have a number of midfielders who suit the 3-5-2 system well. However, Chivu has been trying to change the Nerazzurri over to a 3-4-2-1 formation. And there aren't many players who really fit into the double pivot of such s shape.

(Photo by) The logic was clear from Inter when they made an offer for Roma midfielder Manu Kone. The Frenchman is a natural holding midfielder. He can win and keep possession deep on the pitch. However, the Nerazzurri have not managed to sign Kone. Roma decided to reject their advances for the 24-year-old. Therefore, reports the Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter could look elsewhere to bolster their midfield with a similar profile.

By and large, the broadcaster anticipates, the coach will go with the first-choice starting eleven. Therefore, that means that mostly it will be a team of players that started regularly last season. However, in midfield, Petar Sucic will get the starts, reports Mediaset. The Croatian international will get the nod ahead of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Therefore, that looks to be a signal that Sucic will be a regular starter next season ahead of Mkhitaryan.
