The website "Fichajes" revealed that Inter Milan has started to move in the transfer market to strengthen its defense in preparation for the upcoming season, as it has identified the duo Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace and Dayot Upamecano of Bayern Munich as its main potential targets.

The site explained that Inter Milan's management sees the necessity of renewing the team's backline, as some defenders' contracts are nearing their end, and they are looking to sign one of the defenders whose contracts expire at the end of the current season, taking advantage of the possibility of acquiring them at a low cost or for free.

The same source pointed out that Marc Guehi is the primary option for the Italian club, especially after he refused to renew his contract with Crystal Palace, making him available for a free transfer next summer. Inter is considering making an early offer in January to secure the deal before other competitors like Liverpool and Bayern Munich enter the fray.

If negotiations with Guehi falter, Inter has an alternative option in the form of French defender Dayot Upamecano, whose contract with Bayern Munich also expires at the end of the current season. The club believes that Upamecano has the necessary experience to lead the defense in case some veteran players depart.

According to the report, Inter Milan considers these moves a crucial step to secure the future of its defense and continue competing strongly on both domestic and European fronts in the coming seasons.
