"According to CalcioMercato, one name firmly on Inter's list is French shot-stopper Illan Meslier. The 25-year-old, currently with Leeds United, has been linked with moves across Europe in previous windows, and his contract situation could open the door to a free transfer next summer. Meslier, capped at the youth level for France, has established a reputation in England, making him an intriguing candidate for the Serie A champions."
"Manchester City's experienced deputy Stefan Ortega is also under discussion, with his contract expiring at the Etihad next year. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the Leeds goalkeeper. He is no longer the first-choice keeper at Leeds, and leaving the club permanently would be ideal for him."
"The French goalkeeper will look to play regularly at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at Elland Road is unlikely to benefit him. If Inter Milan can provide him with gametime assurance, it could be an exceptional move for the player. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for him."
Inter Milan are preparing for potential goalkeeper changes amid uncertainty over Yann Sommer's long-term role. The club is evaluating several targets, with Illan Meslier high on the list. Meslier, 25, currently at Leeds United, has built a reputation in England and could become available next summer due to his contract situation. Manchester City's backup Stefan Ortega is another option, with his Etihad contract expiring next year. Meslier is not currently first-choice at Leeds and seeks regular playing time. Inter can offer game-time assurances and a move could appeal to both player and selling club, which would seek a reasonable fee.
