Inter is aiming to secure five forwards for the upcoming season, and it appears that a competition is unfolding between Alexis Sanchez and Valentin Carboni for the final spot, according to reports.

The Nerazzurri are anticipating a more demanding season than usual, having already secured a place in the restructured Club World Cup scheduled for June and July, featuring 32 teams. With Inter set to participate on four fronts next season, the club’s management is determined to provide coach Simone Inzaghi with ample options throughout the squad, particularly seeking a total of five center forwards. Four names have already been confirmed – Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Marko Arnautovic, and Mehdi Taremi.

As outlined by Tuttosport via FcInterNews, Inter will soon face a decision between extending Alexis Sanchez’s contract, which expires at the end of June, or recalling Carboni, who has displayed promising performances at Monza this season.

The experienced Chilean forward has recently regained form under Inzaghi, contributing with a goal and three assists in the last three league matches. Meanwhile, the 19-year-old Carboni has been making a name for himself with Biancorossi, scoring twice in 20 league appearances.

Inter is willing to consider offers for Carboni around €25 million but is prepared to bring him back in the summer if no compelling offers materialize. The final decision on whether Carboni stays or departs hinges on the resolution regarding Alexis Sanchez.
