Report – Inter Milan Yet To Lodge Formal Bid For Genoa Midfielder Amid Transfer Links
Inter Milan have yet to lodge an official bid for Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup amid interest from other clubs. According to Il Secolo XIX via FCInter1908, the club's pursuit of the Norwegian remains on hold. However, after Hakan Calhanoglu's failed transfer to Turkey, Inter's interest has taken a back seat. Indeed, Cristian Chivu's men have prioritized a move for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

However, a lack of funds could be an issue, with Inter unable to offload numerous fringe players. Despite putting the likes of Kristjan Asllani and Mehdi Taremi up for sale, they've yet to find suitors. As such, Inter's incoming market activity remains stalled. Meanwhile, Asllani's potential exit would make room for Frendrup's arrival, but the Albanian is proving reluctant to leave.

Report – Inter Milan Set Sights On Genoa & Parma Midfielders: Must Sell Poland & Albania Flops First
Genoa's Morten Frendrup and Parma's Mandela Keita have reportedly emerged as concrete targets for Inter Milan. However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Inter's incoming market depends on fundraising. It's been a busy summer for the San Siro club. Indeed, Cristian Chivu's men have already spent north of €70 million on new signings. Ange-Yoan Bonny, Luis Henrique, and Petar Sucic have joined the Nerazzuri. Furthermore, they've made Nicola Zalewski's transfer from Roma permanent. Inter Milan Keen on Morten Frendrup & Mandel Keita BOLOGNA, ITALY – OCTOBER 06: Mandela Keita of Parma calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Bologna and Parma at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on October 06, 2024 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) Ademola Lookman remains the priority acquisition, with Inter ready to break the bank to sign the Atalanta star. However, Chivu remains hopeful of adding to his midfield options. Therefore, Inter have reignited their interest in Morten Frendrup. Meanwhile, Chivu is keeping close tabs on Keita, with whom he worked at Ennio Tardini last season. Yet, Inter cannot pursue their midfield targets until they make room in the squad. Therefore, it's imperative to offload Kristjan Asllani and Piotr Zielinski. Still, the former has already refused to join Real Betis, while Inter have been unable to drum up interest in the latter.

Inter Milan Eyeing Up €20M Rated Genoa & Parma Midfielders – Ex Napoli Star Could Leave
Inter Milan are eyeing up Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup and Parma's Mandela Keita, while Piotr Zielinski could leave this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that Frendrup and Keita would both cost at least €20 million. Inter Milan are thinking about a shakeup in midfield, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. The aim would be to bring in a player suitable for the central positions in the 3-4-2-1 formation that coach Cristian Chivu is aiming to transition the team to playing. Therefore, the Nerazzurri want a physical, dynamic player with strong tackling and ball-winning ability. A midfielder who can cover extra ground behind the attack. And according to the Gazzetta, there are a couple of names from within Serie A on Inter's list. Inter Eyeing Up Frendrup & Keita – Zielinski Could Leave PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 28: Mandela keita of Parma calcio during the Serie A match between Parma and Monza at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 28, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Inter have long been admirers of Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup. And the Dane is a player who would certainly add muscle to the Nerazzurri's midfield options. Genoa would want at least €20 million to sell Frendrup this summer. That is also the same price bracket for Mandela Keita of Parma. The Emilians paid around €15 million to sign the Belgian last summer, and would expect to sell him on for a profit. Keita is a player who Inter coach Cristian Chivu is already familiar with, having worked with him at the Stadio Enrico Tardini. And like Frendrup, Keita certainly has the profile of an athletic, ball-winning midfielder who could support the attack. To make an investment in either of these players, however, Inter would have to make sales first. The Nerazzurri are pushing for a deal to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian will cost north of €40 million. Therefore, Inter's budget will be just about exhausted. However, Inter could look to fund a deal for a new midfielder by making some sales. Kristjan Asllani is certainly one midfielder who could leave. However, according to the Gazzetta, Piotr Zielinski is another player who could head for the exit door. The Polish international only just joined last summer. However, injuries restricted his impact. And in truth, Zielinski doesn't quite fit the profile that Chivu is seeking in midfield. Zielinski's age (31 years old) and wages (€4.5 million net per season) could make it hard to find a buyer. However, there would always be the possibility of a sufficient offer from the Saudi Pro League, notes the Gazzetta.

Inter keeping an eye on Morten Frendrup and Mandela Keita
Serie A giants Inter are keeping an eye on Genoa's Morten Frendrup and Parma star Mandela Keita. La Gazzetta dello Sport report today that the Nerazzurri are considering the sale of Piotr Zielinski. While getting a new club for him is difficult because of his age, contract and injury history across the previous season, Cristian Chivu wants a midfielder who is a ball-winner. As a result, Inter are keeping an eye on Frendrup. They have already inquired about the Dane when Inter spoke to Genoa about Valentin Carboni some weeks ago. Piero Ausilio has been monitoring him closely for a year now and the midfielder's current valuation is at €20 million. Keita's valuation at Parma is quite the same. Chivu likes the Belgian from his time at Parma and everything can now hinge on Inter's sales and how much they invest in Ademola Lookman. Balancing incomings and outgoings will help them sign another midfielder. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

As reported in today's newspaper edition of Tuttosport, and via the Nerazzurri could cash in on Calhanoglu, with Fenerbahce waiting in the wings to complete a deal for the Turkish international. Whilst Inter are waiting to determine Calhanoglu's plans, they are determined not to be left scrambling for a replacement and have already begun work on securing a deal for Frendrup. The Norway international would represent an affordable alternative to Calhanoglu, with the 24-year-old enjoying two positive seasons in Serie A with the Grifone. Indeed, the former Brondby player has proven himself to be a reliable figure at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, having only missed four games across two seasons. Frendrup helped Genoa finish comfortably in 13th place last season and Inter could step up their interest should Calhanoglu depart.
