Inter Milan, who have been long-term admirers of Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic, are now reportedly viewing a potential acquisition of Roma’s Evan Ndicka as a more realistic prospect, according to recent Italian media reports.
Inter’s Defensive Targets: Muharemovic, Solet, and Ndicka
Following a successful domestic double in the 2025-26 season, Inter is keen to bolster their squad. With the expected departures of defenders Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, and likely Stefan De Vrij, the backline is a primary area requiring attention. There’s also a possibility that Yann Bisseck could move to Bayern Munich.
Fortunately for Inter, Alessandro Bastoni is now expected to stay, having been previously linked with a summer transfer to Barcelona. The Catalan club has instead decided to allocate most of their limited transfer budget to signing Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.
In terms of new defensive signings, Inter has consistently been linked with both Muharemovic and Udinese’s Oumar Solet.
While Solet remains a potential target for Inter this summer, reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that negotiations with Sassuolo for Muharemovic are proving increasingly challenging. Sassuolo is demanding a substantial transfer fee for the Bosnian defender, partly because they are obligated to pay 50% of any transfer fee to his former club, Juventus. Furthermore, Sassuolo is reportedly anticipating strong performances from Muharemovic in the upcoming World Cup, which could attract broader interest and inflate his price tag.
La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates that Inter is unwilling to engage in a bidding war with wealthier Premier League clubs, a scenario Sassuolo is apparently hoping for.
The same publication suggests that Inter might be more inclined to pursue a move for Roma’s Evan Ndicka.
Ndicka is a crucial player in the Giallorossi’s starting lineup. However, Roma is facing pressure to raise approximately €60 million by June 30 to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. Consequently, a significant offer for a player like Ndicka, or potentially Manu Kone, might be difficult for Roma to refuse.

Inter Milan, who have long been linked with a potential move for Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic, are now seeing a potential deal for Roma’s Evan Ndicka as a more likely possibility, according to the latest reports in Italy.
Where Inter Stand with Muharemovic, Solet and Ndicka
Inter is looking to strengthen following their domestic double in 2025-26, and following the departures of Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, and likely Stefan De Vrij as well, the defense is a unit that will need addressing. There is also a possible scenario where Yann Bisseck leaves to join Bayern Munich.
Firstly, the Nerazzurri are increasingly likely to keep hold of Alessandro Bastoni, who had been linked with a summer move to Barcelona, but the Blaugrana have since decided to invest the vast majority of their limited funds on the purchase of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United instead.
In terms of new recruits, Inter have long been linked with Muharemovic and Udinese’s Oumar Solet.
Solet remains a possibility for Inter this summer, but reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that negotiating with Sassuolo for Muharemovic is looking increasingly complicated. The Neroverdi are seeking a high fee for the Bosnian given that they will have to hand 50% of any transfer fee over to the player’s former club, Juventus. Additionally, Sassuolo are reportedly hoping for a string of strong performances from their defender at the upcoming World Cup, which might attract wider interest and boost his transfer price.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter are ‘uninterested’ in becoming engaged in a bidding war with wealthy Premier League sides, which Sassuolo hope might become a reality.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter might be more inclined to make a move for Roma’s Ndicka instead.
The Ivorian is a key member of the Giallorossi starting XI, but Roma know that they must raise around €60m in funds before June 30 in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, and a big cash offer for a player like Ndicka or potentially Manu Kone may be difficult to turn down.
