Report – Inter Milan Starting XI Largely Unchanged Despite Summer Signings
Inter Milan's starting lineup has changed little so far this summer despite a number of new signings. This is highlighted by Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb. They anticipate that Petar Sucic will be the only new name in Inter's starting eleven in today's friendly match against Olympiacos. It has been a somewhat busy summer for Inter already. The Nerazzurri changed coach, for one thing. Simone Inzaghi departed for the allure of big money at Al-Hilal, and Cristian Chivu replaced him. Reports indicate that Chivu wants to change the formation from a 3-5-2 to more of a 3-4-2-1. Meanwhile, Inter have signed wingback Luis Henrique, midfielder Petar Sucic, and striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. Then, just as notably, Inter have also made 20-year-old striker Francesco Pio Esposito a part of their first team plans. These new arrivals have certainly lived up to the Nerazzurri's plan to lower the average age of the squad. However, there are questions about whether Inter have signed any players who will make a big change to the first-choice starting eleven right away. Inter Starting XI Still Largely Unchanged Despite Summer Signings CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – JUNE 30: Alessandro Bastoni #95 and Nicolo Barella #23 of FC Internazionale Milano warm up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 round of 16 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Fluminense FC at Bank of America Stadium on June 30, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) Inter will play their last preseason friendly against Olympiacos this evening. And Nerazzurri coach Cristian Chivu is planning to play his first-choice starting eleven, more or less. He wants today's match to be a trial run for the team's Serie A opener against Torino. TuttoMercatoWeb anticipate that summer signing Petar Sucic will start in midfield. The Croat will take the place of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. However, the outlet report that nine of the other ten starters will be the ones who started in the Champions League final, which saw Inter lose 5-0 to Paris Saint-Germain. Stefan de Vrij, meanwhile, will start in the centre of the back three rather than Francesco Acerbi. Hardly new blood, though. The formation will still be a 3-5-2 as it had been under Simone Inzaghi and Antonio Conte. And so far, the Nerazzurri have not signed any players who will immediately shift the balance of the starting eleven. There is still the possibility that Inter could bring in Ademola Lookman. The Atalanta forward would certainly change the dynamic and facilitate a change to a 3-4-2-1 shape. Meanwhile, Inter have been linked with Roma midfielder Manu Kone for a couple days. However, that deal looks to be off. In defense, it had seemed inevitable that Inter would make changes this summer. However, they've missed out on big targets like Koni De Winter and Giovanni Leoni.

New Inter Milan Midfielder Shows Promising Signs In Opening Pre-Season Friendly
Inter Milan summer signing Petar Sucic reportedly impressed in the first pre-season friendly against the U23. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 21-year-old showed promising form in the opening off-season outing.

It's still too early to say whether he would be Chivu's starting option at the start of next season. However, the young gun is making a strong case for himself. With Piotr Zielinski struggling to find match fitness and form, Sucic could seize the opportunity to break into the starting XI. He delivered an assist to Lautaro Martinez in the first pre-season friendly, demonstrating his playmaking skills once again. Furthermore, Chivu appreciates the midfielder's tactical flexibility and technical qualities.
