Cagliari goalkeeper Elia Caprile has emerged as one of the likeliest candidates to replace veteran star Yann Sommer at Inter Milan.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri scouts have given the 24-year-old rave reviews.

Inter Milan will most likely let Yann Sommer leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season.

Indeed, the 36-year-old’s contract runs out next June, with the club reluctant to offer him fresh terms.

Therefore, the Serie A giants are in the market for a new goalkeeper.

Inter Milan Scouts Impressed by Elia Caprile

Elia Caprile has been outstanding since swapping Napoli for the Unipol Domus last January.

Moreover, Caprile’s brilliant form at Cagliari has drawn Inter’s attention.

Despite Antonio Conte’s wish to keep him in Naples, the Italian stopper insisted on leaving the club for regular first-team football.

Therefore, he joined the Sardinians permanently in the summer.

Caprile’s readiness to defy Conte shows he has a personality, a trait that could serve him well at a high-pressure club.

However, he won’t come cheap, with Cagliari slapping a €20 million price tag on their prized asset.
