Inter Milan have identified the Lazio goalkeeper as long-term replacement for Yann Sommer

Inter Milan are expected to prioritize the signing of a new goalkeeper in this summer's transfer window and have identified Lazio's Christos Mandas as a target.

As reported in today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.it, the new owners, Oaktree Capital, will focus on rejuvenating the team with young players with high potential and the ability to develop within the club.

Mandas certainly fits the bill, with the 22-year-old impressing in his first season at Lazio after being signed for just €1m last summer, and it is reported that the Aquile now value him at €15 millions of euros.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is said to be a fan of the Greek goalkeeper and eager to bring him to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, as the search for a long-term replacement for veteran Yann Sommer intensifies.

However, Mandas has four years remaining on his contract at Roma, which could make negotiating his transfer fee more complex.

An alternative option is Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martinez, who would be more accessible due to his contract expiring in 2025.

Inter's preferred choice was Bento from Athletico Paranaense, but an impressive campaign in Brazil saw his price tag surpass €20 million and so the Nerazzurri will look elsewhere.
