Reports from Sunday suggest that Inter Milan is considering a move for Roma’s center-back, Evan Ndicka. This potential transfer comes as it becomes increasingly likely that Stefan De Vrij will depart San Siro at the end of his contract this month.
Inter’s Summer Transfer Plans
The Nerazzurri are anticipating a busy transfer window following their domestic double success in the 2026-27 season. Marco Palestra is considered the primary target for the right wing-back position. Additionally, players like Curtis Jones and Oumar Solet are rumored to be joining Cristian Chivu’s squad this summer.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, a deal for Palestra, who is valued at €50 million, could be finalized in the coming days. The publication also states that Inter and Udinese are approximately €5 million apart in their valuations of Solet, and a move for Liverpool’s Jones is expected to be completed once Inter facilitates the sale of Davide Frattesi.
Furthermore, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter is keen to strengthen their defense by signing Roma’s Ndicka, particularly if De Vrij opts to leave the club when his contract expires on June 30. Earlier reports this week indicated that the Dutch defender is set to depart, with an offer reportedly on the table from Greek side Panathinaikos.
Roma faces the imperative of selling players before the end of the month to adhere to the terms of their financial fair play settlement agreement with UEFA. It is understood that the Giallorossi must generate €60 million in player sales before their deadline. Selling Ndicka is estimated to bring in approximately €40 million in much-needed funds.
Ideally, Roma would prefer not to part ways with Ndicka, especially with their return to the Champions League next season. However, their pressing need for funds may compel them to consider his sale.

Inter Eyeing Roma’s Ndicka to Replace Departing De Vrij
Sunday’s reports claim that Inter are eyeing up a potential move for Roma centre-back Evan Ndicka to replace Stefan De Vrij, who is increasingly likely to leave San Siro at the end of his contract later this month.
Inter Keen to Add Ndicka to Squad
It is set to be a busy transfer window for the Nerazzurri after their domestic double success. Marco Palestra remains the priority target at right wing-back, while the likes of Curtis Jones and Oumar Solet are also tipped to join Cristian Chivu’s side this summer.
La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that a deal for the €50m-rated Palestra could be closed within the next few days, that Inter and Udinese are around €5m apart in their valuations of Solet, and that a deal for Liverpool’s Jones is likely to be closed once the Nerazzurri arrange a sale of Davide Frattesi.
However, La Gazzetta dello Sport also reports that Inter are keen to add Roma’s Ndicka to their ranks as well, especially if De Vrij decides to leave the club at the end of his contract on June 30. Reports earlier this week indicated that the Dutchman is set to leave with a reported offer from Greek side Panathinaikos on the table.
Roma are still left needing to sell players before the end of the month in order to comply with the terms of their financial fair play settlement agreement with UEFA.
It is believed that the Giallorossi must raise €60m in sales before their deadline at the end of the month, and it has been suggested that selling Ndicka could raise around €40m in useful funds.
In an ideal world, Roma do not want to let go of Ndicka, especially ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League next season, but their need to raise funds could soon force their hand.
