Inter Milan’s January strategy continues to take shape, with Italian media linking several market scenarios to the uncertain future of Stefan de Vrij and identifying Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan as a potential midfield target.
According to Corriere dello Sport, De Vrij remains the situation to watch most closely in the upcoming transfer window.
The Dutch defender is keen to preserve his chances of being selected for the next World Cup.
Therefore, he is seeking regular playing time.
That context, the paper explains, means that “if he does not receive different signals in the short term, he could ask for an early exit. Rather than seeing out his contract until the end of the season.”
Inter would prefer to keep De Vrij, but a possible departure would force the club to intervene defensively.

The profile under consideration would not be a traditional centre-back, but rather a left-sided centre defender, a direct alternative to Alessandro Bastoni.
Such a move would also prevent Carlos Augusto from having to split his duties between the flank and the back line, an issue that has surfaced repeatedly this season.
Alongside the defensive reflections, Corriere dello Sport also confirms reports emerging from Armenia regarding Inter’s interest in Eduard Spertsyan.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder currently plays for Krasnodar.
He has established himself as one of the most technically gifted players in the Russian Premier League.
Spertsyan, an Armenia international, is admired for his creativity, goal contribution and versatility between the lines.
While no negotiations are described as advanced, the interest is said to be concrete.
Indeed fitting Inter’s broader search for midfield quality that can complement Hakan Calhanoglu.
For now, everything hinges on outgoing movements.
But as January approaches, Inter’s planning appears increasingly interconnected.
