Written By Onyeka Daniel

Italian side, Inter Milan are said to be interested in signing Villarreal defender, Alfonso Pedraza as a direct replacement for German defender, Robin Gosens, who has been linked with a move away from the Nerazzurri, as he has failed to adapt to life at the club since making the switch from Atalanta.

More Details

Signed as a replacement for Ivan Perisic, Gosens has struggled with injuries and loss of form and has played second fiddle to Federico DiMarco so far this season and was even linked with a switch to Bayer Leverkusen before the closing of the transfer window, before the move eventually collapsed.

Reports has it that the move could be back on in January or later in June next year and Inter will move quickly for Pedraza, but they will have to contend with his €35 million release clause, as the player is still contract to the Yellow Submarines until 2026.

There’s another solution for them, which is in Germany, with Borussia Monchengladbach left-wingback Ramy Bensebaini, an easier solution, as he will become a free agent in 2023.

“Inter are keeping an eye on several players for the left flank, including Pedraza from Villarreal and Mazzocchi from Salernitana,” Barzaghi reported. “And I would also underline in red the name of Bensebaini, who scored a brace for Gladbach in their last match and would be available for free next summer.”

“He’s a very interesting wingback that Ausilio likes a lot and who could be available for free,” “So he’s certainly a transfer to be taken into consideration.” Barzaghi further added. For the moment, there’s no movement from the Nerazzurri as they would rather wait to know how Gosens fares between now and January and the player’s intentions.

But it’s most likely that Gosens would seek for a move between January and June next year despite talks of an unfinished business with the Nerazzurri after his move to transfer deadline day move to Bayer Leverkusen fell through at the last moment.

Meanwhile…

According to a report from Spanish news outlet, Defensa Central, Italian side, AC Milan will look to secure the services of Brahim Diaz on a permanent deal in 2023. The Serie A champions have opened talks with Real Madrid to discuss a move for the 23-year-old playmaker.

He is in the second year of a two-years loan move and the Rossoneri have an option to make the move permanent at a fixed price of €22 million while the Los Blancos also have a counter-option to sign him too for a slightly higher fee.

Diaz has been really impressive after showing initially flashes of brilliance and his goal against Juventus at the weekend, where he took the ball from his own half to score is a big highlight of how far he has matured with the Italian champions. This season, he already has two goals and one assist after seven games and has already stated that he’s very happy with Milan.

For Real Madrid, they’ve been contemplating bringing the player back as a replacement for Marco Asensio, but could be forced to respect the player’s wish. He would also have a hard time fitting in at Real Madrid, as they due to their formation, while he has to deal with the competition from Charles De Ketelaere for the playmaker role at Milan.
