Inter joins the intense transfer saga: Solet not sure yet, Khalaili and Norton-Cuffy targeted, Pio Esposito renewed
Inter have continued to move in the market following Dumfries' departure, including complex negotiations with Oumar Solet, a deal with Napoli for Anan Khalaili, and the possible signing of Brooke Norton-Cuffy. At the same time, the talk for Pio Esposito's contract is also progressing.
Inter are in the middle of a hot transfer market, following the departure of Dumfries so the team continues to look for replacements and strengthen their ranks.
One of the main targets, Oumar Solet from Udinese, has been stuck in negotiations. Inter stuck to its €20 million offer, but Udinese rejected it, wanting a higher price. Therefore, it seems that the discussion will take some time and may even go beyond the first week of July before it is resolved. At the same time, Atletico Madrid are threatening to intervene if they decide to speed up their move.
On the left side, Anan Khalaili, a young Union Saint-Gilloise player from Israel, opened up a new option. The Belgian club received an initial offer from Napoli worth €15 million plus bonuses, but Union Saint-Gilloise are still adamant that they want €25 million. Competition is high and there is no clear agreement for Inter or Napoli.

The young Englishman fits perfectly in coach Chivu's 3-5-2, but Inter will need to shell out €18–20 million to convince not only Genoa but De Rossi as well. In addition, Juventus, Napoli and Fiorentina are also interested in Norton-Cuffy, so the battle for him is heating up even more.
Meanwhile, talks between Inter and Francesco Pio Esposito's camp have started positively for the young attacker's contract. Despite various transfer talks, Inter clearly do not want to let go of the homegrown talent who has 10 goals and 6 assists in the first team, so they intend to extend his contract until 2030.
The football world is now closely following Inter's next steps in their targets this summer transfer window.
