Inter Milan will sign a number ten this summer, with Brighton’s Julio Enciso and RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda options.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu looks to be intent on changing the system of play at Inter a bit.

One notable aspect of the Nerazzurri’s formation under Simone Inzaghi was the absence of an attacking midfielder.

Inzaghi would set Inter up with three central midfielders, two wingbacks, and two strikers. There was a lot of linkage between all those players, but not a player linking the midfield and attack directly.

But Chivu wants to do things a bit differently. He wants a player with the right skillset to play in the channels behind a striker in a 3-4-2-1 shape.

Therefore, signing a forward or attacking midfielder with those qualities is a priority for Inter.

According to Tuttosport, RB Leipzig’s versatile Lois Openda is one player Chivu is a fan of.

Then, the newspaper report, Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Julio Enciso would be another option.

The Paraguayan is out of contract with Brighton next summer, which should motivate the Seagulls to sell him.

Meanwhile, Tuttosport note, coach Roberto De Zerbi had been a fan of Enciso when he coached Brighton.
