Walter Zenga stated in an interview with Libero that Elia Caprile of Cagliari is among the names liked by the Inter management as a replacement for Sommer. Zenga also considers Caprile to be the perfect substitute for Sommer.

According to CalcioMercato, major clubs are interested in Caprile, and Inter and Milan are competing for his transfer. Caprile has attracted interest from big Italian and foreign clubs.

According to an update from Tuttomercato, while goalkeeper Caprile is highly appreciated by Piero Ausilio and Giuseppe Marotta, a problem for his transfer is the 25 million euro valuation placed on him by Cagliari. Cagliari redeemed him from Napoli as recently as last summer.

Inter are considering 24-year-old Elia Caprile as a potential replacement for Yann Sommer. The goalkeeper is highly regarded by club figures Piero Ausilio and Giuseppe Marotta. Scouts from the club have followed his performances at Cagliari, where he has made 10 appearances in Serie A this season. He is viewed as an interesting profile because he is Italian and has an affordable salary. The main obstacle to a deal is Cagliari's valuation, which is influenced by his strong performances and interest from multiple clubs. Cagliari only made his move from Napoli permanent last summer for €8.5 million. Milan had also scouted Caprile in recent months before Mike Maignan decided to stay. The goalkeeper is now considered a key name in a potential summer transfer period among Italy's top clubs. Caprile has two caps for the Italy U21 team and has a contract with Cagliari until June 2029. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €11.00m.
