According to a feature article published by Italian media outlet Torino Sport, which analyses the future of Akanji and Pavard in the team, as well as the possible reinforcements made by Inter Milan, the media said that Akanji has already conquered Inter Milan, and that his permanent transfer will be completed in the next few months.
The media said, in fact, Akanji just one month in Inter Milan stood in the absolute main position, more importantly, he completely conquered the entire Inter Milan world. From the management to Chiv, to the fans: everyone has gone crazy for the Swiss defender, who in a very short time has made people forget about his predecessor Pavard.
It's unbelievable, but true. This is due to his outstanding performances, which are characterised by strong leadership and an excellent ability to participate in the construction of all the team's attacking organisation. These qualities immediately caught the eye and conquered the Inter Milan environment.
So much so that Marotta and Ausilio have made it clear to the Swiss player's agent that they want to keep the former Borussia Dortmund player for the long term, which even goes beyond the question about the mandatory buyout clause - which is set at €15 million and will be automatically activated in the event that Inter Milan win the league title and Arcangeli's appearances reach 50 per cent of the club's matches. 50 per cent of the club's matches is automatically activated. A contract until 2028 with an annual salary of €4.5 million has been pre-agreed for the centre-back.
Inter Milan, a revolution in defence
All in all, the Swiss player's retention now seems as if it is just a pure procedure to be fulfilled in the coming months. Hopefully, it may be possible to finance the deal by selling Pavard to Marseille for the same price. Marseille are under no obligation to force a buyout, but are free to decide whether to exercise it at the end of the season.
There is a feeling that for De Zerbi, the French international has become indispensable. That's why the two transfers will likely be linked up in 2026. Furthermore, Inter will be very active in the next summer transfer window in terms of reinforcements in the backline. Both Acerbi and De Vrij are nearing the end of their contracts.
Therefore, sporting director Ausilio and the scouting department are looking for replacements in advance. In Inter's database, there are several names under scrutiny: from Brugge's Ordonez, to long-term targets such as Solet and Koulierakis. And that's not all: two other names are rumoured to have entered Inter's radar. One has been on the radar for a long time, while the other has only recently appeared on the list. What these two defence specialists have in common is that they are teammates and both play for Sassuolo.
Idzes and Muharemovic on Inter's radar
That's why the presence of an Inter scout at the Bentegotti Stadium during Sassuolo's match against Verona didn't go unnoticed. It's no coincidence that the attention was directed towards Idzes and, in particular, Muharemovic. The Bosnia-Herzegovinian centre-back has fascinated Inter in recent weeks, and the club has started to watch him consistently and closely.
The reason is simple: in just six league rounds, the 2003-born player has already won the man of the match award twice. Considering his young age and the fact that this is his first year in the top flight, these authoritative performances bode well for a bright future for the former Juventus youth player.
Interested bystanders in the matter also include Juventus themselves, who own a 50 per cent second transfer share of Muharemovic's next transfer. The matter is expected to be discussed again in the coming months. In the meantime, he is on the shortlist for the future of Inter's defence. One thing is certain: whoever comes in will play alongside Akanji
