According to Tuttomercato, Inter considered Kepa Arrizabalaga as a possible alternative if a deal for Ivan Provedel with Lazio were to fail. The option for Kepa was considered due to an apparent stall in negotiations for Provedel, but has since become secondary after progress was made in the Provedel deal.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a proposal was made to Inter in recent days for Arsenal's Kepa, but the club's management appears unenthusiastic about the possibility.

With Yann Sommer's departure considered imminent, Inter are reportedly preparing for the summer transfer window and plan to recruit an experienced keeper to support Josep Martinez. The name of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is currently the backup to David Raya at Arsenal, is frequently and persistently mentioned for this role. The 31-year-old Spaniard is said to be highly regarded by Inter for his top-level experience and has a contract with his club until June 30, 2028.
