Market18 Jan 2027

Hakan Çalhanoğlu agrees terms with Fenerbahce

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Inter people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Lautaro Martínez

25 goals and a season average of 7.71 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match16 Jan 2027

Nobody wants to play Inter right now

8 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match16 Jan 2027

Inter run riot against Cremonese

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Market18 Jan 2027

Inter turn down Real Madrid for Federico Dimarco

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Both of them Lautaro Martínez's — 9.51

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.51, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets18 Jan 2027

Too dear: Inter walk away from Nicolò Zaniolo

$18.2M was the most the club would pay and Udinese were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market18 Jan 2027

Business is business: Djed Spence goes

Lazio paid $17.1M and Inter took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Valentín Vada says Inter went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match22 Aug 2026

Derby delight as Inter down Juventus

Bragging rights belong to Inter for another year after a 2‑1 win over Juventus in front of a full house.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Inter rebuffed over Domenico Berardi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sassuolo have kept their man, and Inter go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Matteo Darmian hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Inter can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Aug 2026

Sorrento come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Inter did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Lautaro Martínez settles the derby

Beat anybody else and it is three points. Beat them, with his name on it, and it is a year of bragging rights for Inter and a story that will outlast his contract.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Inter

Hakan Çalhanoğlu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nicolò Barella beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move Valentín Vada would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Valentín Vada is living that version at Inter, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Inter training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alessandro Bastoni is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
