Inter Milan has officially finalized the transfer of Matteo Motta, a product of their youth academy, to Serie C team Pescara. Under the terms of the agreement, Inter will retain 50 percent of any future transfer fees for the 21-year-old left-back, who had previously been on loan at Lumezzane. Motta did not make a competitive appearance for Inter's senior squad.
Concurrently, reports from Germany indicate that Inter has renewed its inquiry into the availability of 18-year-old central defender Luca Reggiani from Borussia Dortmund. Reggiani, who developed in the Sassuolo youth system before joining Borussia Dortmund in February 2024, has rapidly ascended, earning his first senior cap for Italy in June 2026. Despite Inter's interest, Dortmund is keen to retain the highly-rated Italian prospect, especially given his recent contract extension. Inter's ongoing search for a central defender follows their decision to withdraw from negotiations for Cristian Romero, who is now reportedly undergoing a medical examination for a €40 million move to Atletico Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur.
This strategic maneuvering in the transfer market highlights Inter's commitment to both nurturing young talent through strategic transfers and strengthening their squad with promising defensive players. The pursuit of Reggiani, despite Dortmund's reluctance, underscores Inter's ambition to secure top-tier defensive capabilities for the future. Such efforts demonstrate a proactive approach to team building, balancing financial prudence with the quest for sporting excellence.
