Inter could let go of several long-term first-team servants and are targeting a summer move for Roma midfielder Manu Kone according to Thursday\u2019s reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Nerazzurri are sitting seven points clear at the top of the Serie A table with 10 league matches of the season left to go, but according to <\/span>La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/span><\/a>, there could soon be a transfer \u2018revolution\u2019 on the horizon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Inter have several senior players whose contracts are expiring at the end of the 2025-26 season and are not currently expected to be renewed, including the likes of goalkeeper Yann Sommer, defenders Matteo Darmian, Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi, and <\/span>a decision is yet to be made on midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Nerazzurri are also hoping to supply Cristian Chivu with \u2018fresh blood\u2019 ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Roma\u2019s Manu Kone <\/span>was a target in the summer transfer window<\/span><\/a> of 2025, and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are likely to make another attempt for the Frenchman this coming window.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Thursday\u2019s report indicates that Inter are also inclined to activate their buy-back option for 20-year-old Club Brugge midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic, son of former Nerazzurri star, Dejan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Departures can\u2019t be ruled out, and La Gazzetta dello Sport argues that none of Inter\u2019s first team stars are particularly \u2018untouchable\u2019 at this stage, aside from perhaps Lautaro Martinez and Pio Esposito.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Even an Alessandro Bastoni, Nicolo Barella or a Marcus Thuram could theoretically be allowed to leave if a particularly enticing offer were to come in. Galatasaray are also reportedly persisting with their interest in Hakan Calhanoglu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yann BIsseck is said to have interest from the Premier League and Denzel Dumfries reportedly has a release clause option in his contract valid this summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

La Gazzetta dello Sport maintains that these suggestions are purely hypothetical at this stage. But if a big name or two were to leave this summer, Kone, who is likely to cost in excess of \u20ac40m would be the primary target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
