Inter Milan continue to work on shaping the future of their squad and with Yann Sommer and Josep Martinez currently sharing duties, there is no strict hierarchy but the long-term strategy appears defined.

According to Sportmediaset, via FCInterNews, Chivu has been tasked with gradually integrating Martinez throughout the season.

The Spaniard has already started to feature more regularly, with the coaching staff carefully managing his introduction.

The process underlines Inter’s intention to rely on him as the goalkeeper of the future.

Meanwhile Sommer is expected to depart at the end of the campaign when his contract expires.

Inter Prepare Martinez For Number 1 In Post Sommer Era

The Nerazzurri invested around €15 million in Martinez during the summer of 2024, viewing him as the man to guard their goal for years to come.

His breakthrough may have arrived a year later than anticipated, but the club’s faith in him remains strong.

For Inter, the gradual transition also ensures stability in a position that demands consistency.

Chivu is giving Martinez the time to adapt while relying on Sommer’s experience.

The expectation is that the Spanish goalkeeper will grow into the role across this season.

Therefore, he could become a central figure of the Nerazzurri project in the years ahead.
