Revealed – How France U21 Star Will Be Used At Inter Milan Next Season
Inter Milan are planning to have Ange-Yoan Bonny be the backup to Marcus Thuram next season. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInter1908. Striker Ange-Yoan Bonny joined Inter Milan this summer. The Frenchman arrived on a five-year deal from Parma. Bonny had been a Parma player for four years, having signed for the Emilian club in 2021. And last season was Bonny's first in Serie A. He made the step up well, helping Parma to remain in the top flight. Therefore, Bonny caught Inter's eye. And the fact that Cristian Chivu took over as Inter coach following his successful stint in charge of Parma certainly didn't hurt Bonny as a target for the Nerazzurri. Inter Milan See Ange-Yoan Bonny As Marcus Thuram Backup PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio reacts during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Clearly, Inter Milan are not planning to make Ange-Yoan Bonny a first-choice striker right away. However, that leads to the question of exactly what the 21-year-old's role will be at the Nerazzurri next season. Particularly considering the expected arrival of Ademola Lookman or a different attacker to facilitate the switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation. According to Tuttosport, Inter's plan is to have Bonny be the backup to fellow Frenchman Marcus Thuram. Clearly, Thuram will not start every match next season. And Inter's idea is that, rather than having an older player to back up the 27-year-old, Bonny can be his understudy, learning and improving.

How Atalanta Star Will Fit New-Look Inter Milan Formation
Serie A runners-up Inter Milan are working around the clock to sign Atalanta star forward Ademola Lookman. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nigerian fits perfectly into Cristian Chivu's new formation. Talks between Atalanta and Inter are ongoing after the Nerazzurri agreed personal terms with the player. Indeed, Ademola Lookman has accepted Inter's five-year contract offer worth €4.5 million net per season. Meanwhile, Atalanta rejected Inter's opening bid, deeming their €40m proposal insufficient. How Ademola Lookman Will Fit New-Look Inter Milan Set-Up Inter will likely stray away from Simone Inzaghi's trademark 3-5-2 set-up next term. Indeed, Chivu plans to make slight adjustments to Inzaghi's formation and switch to a 3-4-2-1. That would see Marcus Thuram drop back, leaving Lautaro Martinez as the only center-forward. Meanwhile, Lookman would likely slot next to the French star behind El Toro. Lookman's speed and one-on-one ability make him an ideal fit for the second line. Therefore, it allows him to exploit spaces and break defenses from the wing. Although Lookman's versatility enables him to play anywhere alongside the frontline, he's most comfortable on the left wing.

Italian Journalist Reveals France Superstar ‘Absolutely Won't Leave' Inter Milan Despite Lookman Links
Fabrizio Biasin says that Marcus Thuram 'absolutely won't leave' Inter Milan, even if Ademola Lookman is to arrive at the club. Biasin spoke on Cronache di Spogliatoio, via FCInter1908. He predicted that the Nerazzurri want to have both Thuram and Lookman in their squad. Inter Milan have been making a move to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman in the last few days. Reportedly, the Nerazzurri already have an agreement in hand with the Nigerian on personal terms. Then, yesterday Inter made their first official offer to Atalanta. Therefore, it is clear that the Nerazzurri have made Lookman a major transfer target this summer. What's not clear is what that would mean for the rest of Inter's squad planning. Naturally, the idea of a big money attacking signing like Lookman has raised some doubts about some of the strikers already in Inter's squad. And above all, about the future of France international Marcus Thuram. Biasin: 'Marcus Thuram Absolutely Won't Leave Inter' Even If Lookman Signs Italian journalist Fabrizio Biasin noted that 'My first thought was that if Lookman really does come in, it's because someone is leaving.' 'And regarding that, I asked if that means that Thuram is leaving.' 'And they gave me a clear answer,' said Biasin. He related: 'Absoluely not. Thuram isn't leaving Inter.'

Report – Juventus Outcast Offered To Inter Milan On Free Transfer
Out-of-favour Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly been offered to Inter Milan on a free transfer. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri could see the Serb as a replacement if Marcus Thuram leaves. Dusan Vlahovic has come to the end of yet another season at Juventus. And it has been another campaign of uncertainty for the 25-year-old former Fiorentina striker. Vlahovic has become a polarizing figure in Turin. Whilst the Serb scores at a fairly regular rate, there are also questions about what he offers in terms of linkup play. Juventus signed Vlahovic for a big fee in January of 2022. There were naturally big expectations accompanying it. But under Max Allegri, and then particularly Thiago Motta, and Igor Tudor, the 25-year-old has never quite made himself central to the project. Juventus Outcast Dusan Vlahovic Offer To Inter Milan Dusan Vlahovic currently has one year left to go on his contract at Juventus, which expires at the end of next June. There is little sign that the Bianconeri will offer the Serb a new contract. Therefore this summer would represent the last opportunity for Juventus to cash in on Vlahovic. On the other hand, the former Fiorentina striker could also leave on a free transfer. Either next summer, or even this one, if he agrees a termination of his contract. Agent Darko Ristic represents. Vlahovic. And he also has Inter midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic as a client. According to La Stampa, Ristic has brought up Vlahovic's situation while discussing Stankovic's future with Inter. The agent has proposed the idea of Inter potentially moving for the 25-year-old. According to La Stampa, if Inter were to lose Marcus Thuram, they would consider Vlahovic as a surprise option to replace the Frenchman.
