The latest transfer rumours surrounding Inter include a new link to a Barcelona defender. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to eight possible arrivals and nine potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Aleksandar Stankovic. Here is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours.
Alejandro Balde
According to a Goal.com report on Thursday, Inter is interested in Barcelona's Alejandro Balde and faces competition from Manchester United. Balde is considered to have an important role in Hansi Flick's team and his contract is valid until June 2028. Previous reports from February 2026 suggested Manchester United could submit a €40 million bid, while a reported €50 million offer from the club was said to have been rejected in April 2025.
Christoph Baumgartner
On Wednesday, it was reported that Christoph Baumgartner's performance for RB Leipzig has attracted interest from both Inter Milan and Milan. The 26-year-old Austrian attacking midfielder, who joined Leipzig in July 2023, is under contract until 2028. In response to the speculation, Baumgartner stated that he feels very comfortable within the team and at the club.
Alessandro Bastoni
According to Fichajes on Thursday, Manchester United have identified Alessandro Bastoni as the ideal player to build their defense around. They face competition from Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona for the Inter center-back, who is valued at €100 million. A report from the Italian outlet Calciomercato on Tuesday revealed that Arsenal and Barcelona are ‘pursuing’ the defender as a prime summer target. The report noted that while Bastoni is a ‘priceless’ player for Inter, the chances of him leaving are growing, adding that a large sale of €75-80m would transform the club's financial situation.
Aleksandar Stankovic
On Wednesday, Giuseppe Marotta stated that Aleksandar Stankovic is performing very well at Club Brugge and that Inter has a buy-back clause. Marotta said the clause was included due to his growth potential and that they will evaluate what to do as there are still two years before it expires. According to Fabrizio Romano on Saturday, Inter Milan plan to use the €23m buy-back clause despite competition from Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. It was reported with certainty in Italy on Thursday that Inter will use this option to give Stankovic a chance in the team, not to sell him for profit.
Martin Ødegaard
An interest in Martin Odegaard has been attributed to Inter Milan as of Monday. According to transfer reporter IndyKaila, Arsenal have held formal discussions with the midfielder as they prepare for a potential captaincy change. The reporter posted on X that Arsenal are in talks with their captain about his role and that the player could leave to explore new opportunities.
Marcus Thuram
Barcelona are interested in signing Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, according to a Fichajes report on Tuesday. The Spanish publication states that Thuram is being considered as a player capable of becoming their new starting number nine and has been identified as an alternative to Julian Alvarez. On Monday, Calciomercato reported that Thuram is being mentioned in Catalan circles as an option if Barcelona opts for a more experienced forward, with competition from PSG and Bayern Munich.
Weston McKennie
Tuttomercato reported on Saturday that there is optimism regarding a contract extension for Weston McKennie, whose contract is expiring. The report added that Inter is ready to act on any possible breakdown in negotiations. Eight days ago, La Stampa reported that Inter could make a significant attempt to sign McKennie on a free transfer if they sell Frattesi.
