MiTi: Inter Milan may sign a new central defender before Paval leaves the team, and Soler & Badai is all targets

According to the "Milan Sports Daily", Inter Milan may sign a new central defender before Paval leaves the team.

Inter Milan plans to adjust personnel to the defense line, and Paval is destined to leave the team this summer to free up space and salary space. "Milan Sports" said that even before Paval officially leaves the team, Inter Milan will introduce a new central defender first, rather than waiting until Paval leaves the team before starting to look for a replacement.

Paval, 29, is a French defender. He transferred from Bayern to Inter in 2023, and made 32 and 37 appearances in the past two seasons respectively. However, this summer, Paval has been included in the for sale list by Inter Milan. The teams currently interested in him include Galatasaray, Lille, and Saudi teams New Future City Sports.

Among them, Lille is the team that Paval debuted. This summer, Lille also signed Paval's friend Giroud. The head coach of the New Future City Sports previously stated publicly: "Paval is an excellent player and I know him very well. We tried to convince him to join, but he received a lot of offers. Maybe he wants to stay in Europe because there is a World Cup next year."

"Milan Sports Daily" said Inter Milan hopes to earn 18 million to 20 million euros by selling Paval. Before Paval's transfer deal is completed, Inter Milan may sign the new central defender first. Currently, Inter Milan's two defenders are Soler of Udinese and Bade of Sevilla, with Soler being more preferred.

Soler and Badai are both 25-year-old French central defenders who meet the Oak Fund's signing standards. Among them, Soler joined Udinese freely in January this year and made 19 appearances in the second half of the Serie A last season. Udinese asked Soler for 20 million to 25 million euros. However, Soller is currently suspected of sexual assault charges. In order to avoid risks, Inter Milan proposed to introduce Soller by loan and buyout rights. If Soller is ultimately acquitted, Inter Milan will buy out him.

And Badé has been selected for the French national team, and Sevilla asked him for 30 million euros. Previously, Leverkusen was also seeking to buy Badai, but now their negotiations have slowed down and Inter Milan can participate in the competition for players.
