Multiple reports in Italy claim Inter are interested in Roma defender Chris Smalling who could be replaced by Evan N’Dicka at the Stadio Olimpico.
Smalling’s Roma contract expires this coming June and his agent James Featherstone has recently claimed that the Giallorossi do not have an option to extend his stay at the club by one more season.
Tuttosport and Il Romanista report Inter are considering signing the English centre-back as a free agent in the summer, given that some of their defenders could also leave at the end of their contracts in June, among them are Danilo D’Ambrosio and Stefan de Vrij, who have not yet begun talks with the Nerazzurri.
As per Il Romanista, the Giallorossi director Tiago Pinto has already identified a potential replacement for Smalling. It’s Eintracht Frankfurt’s defender N’Dicka who will be available on a free transfer in the summer if he fails to extend his current deal beyond June 2023.
The France defender has also been linked with a move to Juventus who will be looking for a new central defender next summer.
