Key Takeaways:
- Inter are seriously considering a move for Arda Guler and have initiated talks with his agents
- The Nerazzurri are hopeful that Hakan Calhanoglu could help convince his national teammate to join
- The club is also keeping an eye on Nico Paz, though Real Madrid may use their buy-back clause
Inter have intensified their interest in Arda Guler and are currently evaluating the details of a potential summer transfer, according to reports in the Italian press. The Nerazzurri have already held preliminary discussions with the player’s representatives regarding his interest in a move and financial expectations. At Giuseppe Meazza, there is hope that Hakan Calhanoglu, Guler’s teammate in the Turkish national team, could play a key role in convincing him.
The 19-year-old midfielder made a strong start at Real Madrid but has struggled to establish himself as a regular in Carlo Ancelotti’s lineup due to fierce competition. So far, he has managed three goals and five assists in 30 appearances, though he has only played 1,088 minutes in total.
Inter initially prioritized Nico Paz, who is currently on loan at Como. However, Real Madrid have a buy-back clause set at €9 million and are expected to activate it before potentially selling the player at a higher price. Despite this, the Nerazzurri have not completely ruled out a move for Paz and will continue to monitor his situation.
