Inter Milan has started early preparations for the summer transfer market, with a clear desire from coach Cristian Chivu to completely rebuild the midfield, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The management is considering several names in anticipation of the possible departure of some key players, which necessitates strengthening this position with new players capable of making a difference.

The Frenchman Manu Koné, a star of Roma, is considered the primary target for Chievo, as he is seen as the ideal choice to lead the midfield in the new project.

The Romanian coach is impressed with his physical and tactical abilities and places him at the top of his priorities to strengthen the team for the upcoming season.

On the other hand, the name of Argentine Maximo Perrone, a player for Como, stands out as an additional option within the club's plans.

Inter's management is closely monitoring the player, especially with the need for more than one signing in this position, amid a belief that the team requires fresh blood to compensate for any potential departures.
