Inter held a strategic recruitment meeting to align coach Cristian Chivu’s immediate needs with ownership’s long‑term budget, prioritising right‑flank cover and a managed summer overhaul. Betting angle: if Inter recruit an experienced right‑side option (or re-sign Ivan Perisic) expect improved defensive stability and attacking width — punters might favour Inter for under/Asian handicap markets or back Perisic for starts/assists.
Inter align short‑term needs with long‑term plan after recruitment meeting
A recruitment meeting at the Inter’s headquarters brought coach Cristian Chivu together with senior executives and ownership to map out immediate technical requirements and how any January moves must fit a broader, sustainable strategy. The gathering was described as alignment rather than a reactionary scramble as the winter window winds down.
Ownership stresses sustainable investment
Ownership made clear that every short‑term signing should preserve resources for the summer. The club is prepared to act when necessary, but priorities include protecting the budget and ensuring transfers support the next cycle rather than exhausting flexibility now. Exceptions remain possible for clear squad needs, but balance is central.
Summer overhaul looms amid expiring contracts
A major portion of the discussion focused on the coming summer transition. Several senior players approach contract expiry and others may seek new challenges or attract outside interest. Inter accept that continuity has been a strength but change is inevitable and must be managed carefully to avoid destabilising the squad.
Chivu presses for right‑flank cover
Chivu’s most immediate request is cover on the right flank. He argued an experienced option would stabilise the team short term, with the possible return of Ivan Perisic viewed positively within the club. That profile — a player who can defend reliably and add attacking width — is currently prioritised.
Planning the recruitment pipeline
Beyond January, focus will shift to defining a realistic summer budget and identifying player profiles that fit Inter’s next cycle. Recruitment will target sustainable additions that combine immediate impact with fit for the club’s medium‑term project.
Betting implications
A confirmed signing of an experienced right‑side option (or Perisic’s return) would likely reduce goals conceded and increase wing deliveries, which can shift markets: consider backing Inter for under/Asian handicap lines, a lower goals market, or Perisic to start/assist if he returns.
Conversely, a failure to reinforce could keep defensive uncertainty priced into match odds and over/goal markets.
