Report – Inter Milan Consider Making Emergency January Signing Due To Italy Center-Back Recurring Injury Problems

Inter Milan could make a reluctant January signing to address their defensive emergency, with Francesco Acerbi still on the sidelines.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Beppe Marotta could return to the market to reinforce Inter’s defensive options.

The club’s initial plan was to avoid the winter spending.

However, Acerbi’s long-term absence has stirred skepticism within the Nerazzurri camp.

Indeed, the 36-year-old’s lengthly spell on the treatment table has left Simone Inzaghi strapped for reliable defensive alternatives.

Therefore, Inter could revisit their options down the final stretch of the January transfer window.

Inter Milan to Make Late January Signing to Replace Francesco Acerbi

The report fails to mention specific names.

However, Bologna’s Sam Beukema and Udinese’s Jaka Bijol are among the club’s long-term targets.

It’s unlikely that Inter will table offers for any of them this winter.

Moreover, the reigning Serie A holders must make room for new arrivals.

As such, Tajon Buchanan could depart Giuseppe Meazza in the coming days.

Inter will soon meet the Canadian and his representatives to discuss his future.

Buchanan has been on the fringes since returning from injury and could be allowed to leave on loan.

Serie A strugglers Torino have reportedly set their sights on the ex-Club Brugge wingback.
