All the latest inter milan news, transfer rumours and reports from around the world. Founded in 1908, they are one of the most famous clubs in football.
Lautaro Martinez could sign a new contract with Inter before the end of the week as talks progress well, says club CEO Beppe Marotta. He says the captain ‘is a real leader’.
Serie A
Serie A is an Italian professional football league that is regarded as one of the most tactical national leagues in the world. It is organized by Lega Serie A, the body that runs the top division of Italian football, and is known for its gripping matches between Italy’s biggest clubs.
The top three teams in Serie A qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while teams finishing fourth and fifth enter the competition through the playoff qualifying round. In addition, the winner of the Coppa Italia gains a spot in the UEFA Europa League tournament.
Unlike some other European leagues, Serie A does not have a restriction on the number of non-EU players that clubs may sign. The league has also undergone several rule changes, most recently allowing teams to borrow quotas from other clubs in the event that they need more than two. This is especially important for clubs with large numbers of foreign players, such as Juventus and Inter Milan.
UEFA Champions League
The UEFA Champions League is the continent’s top club competition. It began in 1955/56 as the European Cup, then changed its name to the UEFA Champions League in 1992/93. The tournament has expanded over the years, and in 2022/23 78 clubs from Europe’s top leagues will compete to be crowned champions of the continent.
Inter Milan began the season with high expectations after Moratti made a number of major changes, including signing high-profile players like Angelo Peruzzi and Laurent Blanc. They had a strong start to the season, winning their first three Serie A games and going unbeaten in domestic competition.
However, a draw with relegation-battlers Reggina and a loss to Serie A rivals Palermo soon put Inter’s Serie A title hopes into doubt. Benjamin Pavard’s return to training means he is likely to regain his starting spot, and Carlos Augusto will also get the chance to play as long as Alessandro Bastoni is sidelined with a calf injury.
Europa League
The Europa League (formerly UEFA Cup) is the second-tier competition of European club football, organised by UEFA. It is contested by clubs that are not qualified to participate in the UEFA Champions League and is open to all UEFA member associations. The competition was established in 1971 and replaced the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2023-24.
In the domestic arena, Inter managed to add one more Coppa Italia trophy to their tally after beating Roma 3-0 in the two-legged final. Nevertheless, they struggled to retain their Serie A title and sank to eighth place under new coach Claudio Ranieri.
Denzel Dumfries left Sunday’s 3-0 win over Napoli with a right thigh injury and will miss the next few matches. Carlos Augusto and Yann Aurel Bisseck will share minutes at centre back while the defender recovers.
Internationals
In the 1980s Inter became a force to be reckoned with in Europe, winning their first European Cup title and four Serie A titles. During this period, the club had several star players including Argentine striker Christian Vieri and German duo Lothar Matthaus and Andreas Brehme.
Despite Inter’s 0-3 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League last 16, the club is still confident they can compete in the competition, according to manager Simone Inzaghi. Inzaghi also believes that Inter will make a good showing in the Coppa Italia.
Inter Milan defender Stefan De Vrij has been diagnosed with a right adductor strain. He will be re-evaluated next week. Juan Cuadrado and Matteo Darmian will cover for him in the meantime.
