According to Austria Under-18s manager Hermann Stadler, Ifeanyi Ndukwe turned down the chance to join Inter Milan and had previously received an offer from the club which, for an unspecified reason, was not finalised.

During the summer, there were several interested parties for the 17-year-old Austrian center-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe, with Inter Milan showing interest in the 1.98-meter player. The player rejected the Italian club and instead temporarily extended his contract with his team in Favoriten until 2028, ahead of a transfer to Liverpool in the summer for a fee of around three million euros. In the current 2. Liga season, he has made 7 appearances, providing 1 assist. Ndukwe has 15 caps and 1 goal for the Austria U17 national team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.00m. It was reported in January 2026 that Austria Wien had previously rejected a €1.5 million offer from a German Bundesliga club for the player.
