Inter’s director, Dario Baccin, affirmed the acquisitions of Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi while providing an update on the ongoing contract negotiations with key players and discussing the club’s interest in Bento.

Having dominated Serie A this season, Inter clinched the league title comfortably, outperforming the challenges posed by Milan and Juventus. This success has enabled them to commence preparations for the upcoming campaign ahead of schedule.

The club is currently focused on securing contract extensions for key figures like Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella before delving into the transfer market to strengthen Simone Inzaghi’s squad for the demanding 2024-25 season.

Baccin, speaking to Sky Sports Italia, confirmed Zielinski and Taremi’s arrivals, emphasizing the importance of minimal squad alterations while ensuring functionality for the coach’s tactics. He also acknowledged past interests in Julian Alvaraz and Mateo Retegui, although circumstances prevented their signings.

Regarding player development, Baccin highlighted emerging talents such as Zanotti, Satriano, the Esposito brothers, and Carboni, expressing the club’s commitment to nurturing homegrown talent for the first team.

On the topic of goalkeeper Bento, Baccin mentioned ongoing evaluation, acknowledging the Brazilian’s promising performances, albeit indicating that any potential move remains premature.

Regarding contract renewals, Baccin expressed confidence in reaching agreements with players, citing mutual willingness and strong relationships as key factors in the negotiation process.
