GOAL reported that Inter are considering whether to add a fifth forward in January after Cristian Chivu said the idea was "a fair point".
Chivu addresses the forward line
Chivu said there was a need, or at least a possibility, to add a fifth forward to Inter's squad.
Chivu said: "A fifth striker from the transfer market? It’s a fair point , but it’s too easy to talk about it now that Lautaro is injured and the other two strikers aren’t well. These things happen, fortunately not often. We’ll make some assessments , but we’re still happy with our four strikers."
Routes mentioned by Sportmediaset
According to Sportmediaset, Inter have already opened and reopened numerous dossiers, with three routes they could pursue in January to meet the manager's request.
According to Sportmediaset, Inter could move for Paul Mendy of Cagliari or Gustavo Varela, who has broken through at Monza. Sportmediaset also said talks are ongoing.
Icardi speaks about a return
Mauro Icardi told Repubblica that he dreams of returning to Inter, even as fifth choice. GOAL said Icardi is without a club since leaving Galatasaray.
Speaking to Repubblica, Icardi said: "I spent important years there, I wore the captain's armband, and I built part of who I am in that shirt. The ending was painful, and I would like to be able to bring things to a close differently. A return would only make sense if we both believed in it and had a goal to pursue together . I still have a lot to give: if I return somewhere, I return to be useful and to win."
Another name mentioned
GOAL said Federico Chiesa continues to struggle for playing time at Liverpool.
