Inter has decided to promote Josep Martinez to the starting goalkeeper position after parting ways with Yann Sommer. Reports indicate that the decision was not unanimous among the front office but was influenced by financial considerations from ownership, particularly the €12 million investment in Martinez. In recent matches, Inter's defense has struggled, conceding six goals in four Serie A fixtures. The club also considered bringing in Guglielmo Vicario, who has since joined Juventus, while the coach continues to support Martinez despite recent performances. Inter aims to solidify their goalkeeper situation going forward.
