Inter have registered interest in Fulham defender Calvin Bassey, but Fulham insist they will not sell in January, making a summer transfer the likeliest outcome. Betting angle: avoid backing a January move — consider markets for “no transfer this window” or a summer switch, and watch odds on Inter signing a centre-back by July as they reshuffle their defence.
Inter track Calvin Bassey as Fulham dig in against January bids
Fulham have refused to entertain offers for versatile defender Calvin Bassey during the January window despite reported interest from Inter and other Serie A clubs. The 24-year-old has become a key figure in Fulham’s back line, and the club are determined to keep their defensive unit intact through the rest of the season.
Why a January exit is unlikely
Bassey has made 18 appearances this season, contributing one goal and offering defensive flexibility across the back line. Fulham view him as pivotal to their current campaign and are reluctant to weaken their squad midway through the season, effectively closing the door on an immediate transfer.
Inter’s defensive rebuild and summer prospects
Inter are expected to overhaul central defence in the coming months: Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij are both due to leave when their contracts expire in June, leaving gaps to fill. That situation makes Bassey a logical summer target should Fulham be willing to negotiate then, with Inter likely to pursue at least one centre-back in the transfer window.
Transfer outlook and implications for punters
Short-term: back the market that predicts no January move for Bassey — Fulham’s stance heavily reduces the likelihood of an immediate transfer. Mid-term: expect increased activity in summer transfer markets; bettors might favour Inter to sign a centre-back by July or place conditional bets on Bassey moving in the summer. Monitor odds closely as Inter’s roster decisions become clearer after the season.
