Luis Henrique appears likely to stay, Diaby remains blocked, while Ivan Perisic is the most probable arrival. Betting angle: back Perisic to start or Inter to score if confirmed; temper expectations on fresh signings — markets may favour underwhelming attacking reinforcement.
Inter’s January window stalls as Henrique hesitates
Luis Henrique is cooling interest in a move to Bournemouth, complicating Inter’s late-January plans. The Premier League club has tabled an offer in the region of €20m, but the Brazilian winger’s doubts have stalled talks and undermined Inter’s hopes of using the sale to bankroll incoming reinforcements.
Bournemouth offer meets player resistance
The formal proposal from Bournemouth has not convinced Henrique, who remains reluctant to relocate. With the player hesitant, Inter face a dilemma: push a transfer that isn’t agreed at player level or shelve the sale and look for alternative ways to balance the books and reshape the squad.
Diaby transfer blocked by Al-Ittihad
Efforts to bring Moussa Diaby back to Europe have been frustrated by Al-Ittihad’s reluctance to accept a loan formula. The French attacker is keen on a return, but the Saudi club’s resistance to temporary deals has severely limited Inter’s options to secure a late-window move.
Perišić return emerges as the likeliest deal
Amid the uncertainty over Henrique and Diaby, Ivan Perišić has emerged as the most probable incoming signing. The Croatian veteran is pushing for a return to Milan following PSV Eindhoven’s Champions League exit, and confidence is growing that a deal can be agreed before the deadline.
Why Perišić matters for Inter’s attack
Perišić’s potential arrival offers immediate familiarity and experience on the wing, providing a low-risk short-term boost to Inter’s offensive depth. Unlike the more complex negotiations for Henrique or Diaby, Perišić’s profile makes him an attractive, deadline-friendly option for the Nerazzurri.
Transfer deadline dynamics and squad impact
With time running out, Inter’s strategy now hinges on a limited number of achievable moves. A failure to move Henrique or to loan Diaby would restrict incoming options, increasing the likelihood of pragmatic, experience-driven signings rather than high-profile arrivals. That pragmatic approach could keep Inter’s attacking upgrades modest in this window.
Betting implications
Perišić’s probable return should interest punters: back him to start or influence bets on Inter to score if his transfer completes.
Conversely, the stalled exits for Henrique and Diaby suggest limited late-market improvement, which could affect odds on long-term squad success and goal markets in the immediate fixtures.
