Inter, the market under scrutiny: new arrivals struggle, ex-players shine
La Gazzetta dello Sport examines Inter’s new signings and the former Nerazzurri players making an impact away from Milan.
Inter’s transfer campaign is under scrutiny. In an analysis published on October 23, 2026, La Gazzetta dello Sport compares the performances of the club’s new arrivals, who are still struggling to adapt, with those of former Nerazzurri players who have instead established themselves in different surroundings. The picture raises questions about the immediate impact of the club’s transfer decisions.
The main issue is the gap between the expectations created during the summer and what has been shown on the pitch so far. The new signings have not yet provided consistency or enough influence, while some players who left Inter are producing high-level performances away from Milan. The analysis does not change the club’s decisions, but places individual output at the heart of the discussion surrounding the market.
Inter are nevertheless coming off two consecutive victories: a 3-1 Serie A win at Bologna on October 17 and a 1-0 Champions League success against Shakhtar on October 21. The next match is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at 12:30 against Fiorentina. It will offer another chance to assess the contribution of the recent arrivals.
