As has often been the case in previous years, Inter Milan’s scouts are once again setting their sights on South America in search of new talent. The club is preparing to dispatch representatives to the continent, aiming to identify and evaluate promising young players who could potentially make the leap to Serie A.
Calciomercato report that the upcoming Sudamericano Sub-17 tournament, scheduled for January and February 2025, will be a focal point for Inter’s scouting efforts. However, the club is eager to conduct preliminary assessments and potentially initiate negotiations before the competition begins.
Inter’s vice sporting director, Dario Baccin, is set to embark on this market mission armed with a comprehensive database. The club’s strategy, influenced by new ownership under Oaktree, emphasizes a greater focus on future prospects. Recent acquisitions like Bisseck and Palacios exemplify this philosophy of investing in and developing young talent.
The scouting mission will primarily focus on defenders and playmakers. The latter position is of particular interest, as Inter may need to find a backup for Calhanoglu should Asllani depart.
Several players have caught Inter’s attention:
– Thiago Almada (Botafogo): An attacking midfielder born in 2001
– Kevin Zenon (Boca Juniors): A midfielder also from the 2001 class
– Vitor Reis (Palmeiras): A young center-back born in 2006
– Valentin Gomez (Velez): Another center-back, born in 2003
– Franco Mastantuono (River Plate): A promising attacking midfielder born in 2007
– Lorran (Flamengo): A midfielder born in 2006
– Cristian Medina (Boca Juniors): A midfielder from the 2002 class
– Pablo Maia (Sao Paulo): Another 2002-born midfielder
– Luiz Henrique (Botafogo): A winger born in 2001
– Leonardo Fernandez (Peñarol): An experienced attacking midfielder born in 1998
