Inter Milan players who have a point to prove this season

Inter Milan has been superb at the start of this season and are early favourites to be the best Italian club.

The Nerazzurri have built on an outstanding campaign that saw them reach the final of the Champions League last term and would be eager to come close to that success in this campaign.

Simone Inzaghi did some excellent work at Lazio before moving to Inter, and he is now proving the suspicion we all had about him to be correct.

There was always that feeling that he would achieve even more success at a bigger club, as his Lazio side threatened the top sides in Italian football all the time with limited resources.

He is now the manager of Inter Milan and took them to the final of the Champions League in the last campaign.

The brother of Pipo Inzaghi is eager to win his first league crown and the start his team has made to this term could give him that.

Inter stopped Juve's dominance of the Italian game in 2021 under Antonio Conte, who left them that summer, opening the door for Inzaghi to join as their manager.

The decision to bring him in has proven to be one of the best any club could make in Europe.

He has not won the league, but fans have always been eager to buy Inter Milan tickets on Seatsnet in the last few seasons because he has made them an exciting team to watch.

In this campaign, more supporters have gotten their hands on tickets to watch them play. There is a strong belief that the Nerazzurri could finally be Italian champions under Inzaghi.

For Black and Blue to achieve success in this campaign, their players must be in good shape and deliver top performances in every game of the season.

We have covered some players fans expect so much from in this campaign and why this season would be tremendous for them.

Alexis Sanchez

Sanchez returned to Inter, where he enjoyed some salvation after his ill-fated spell at Manchester United.

The Chilean is already 34 and was at Inter between 2019 and 2022 before he moved to Olympique Marseille for a brief spell last season.

The former Barcelona man is well-travelled, and this might be his last season at a top European club, so he would want to make it count.

Inter had to add some new attackers to their squad after losing Romelu Lukaku and Joaquin Correa in the last transfer window.

Sanchez reportedly offered himself to them as one of the options to fill the attacking void in the team, and Inter jumped at the chance to sign him.

He won three trophies with Inter during his first spell at the club and even reached the final of the Europa League in 2020.

Fans do not expect him to consider this spell a time to retire, so a lot will be asked of him in this campaign.

Marko Arnautovic

Arnautovic returned to Inter Milan 13 years after leaving following a loan spell with them from FC Twente and would feel he has unfinished business in Milan.

He is another veteran in the Inter Squad that fans will expect so much from because he has been around the top of the game.

When he returned from China in 2021, he moved to the Italian top flight with Bologna, where he will prove to be one of the finest attackers in Italy.

His superb performances for the Red and Blue made Inter sign him on loan in the last transfer window.

Arnautovic is higher than Sanchez in the pecking order and has already had more game time, so the Austrian has to prove he is good enough to earn a permanent move to the club at his age.

Denzel Dumfries

This is a big season for Dumfries, who was signed in 2021 to replace the departed Achraf Hakimi.

Hakimi was and remains one of the best right-backs in the world and Inter knew it would be hard to replace him.

Dumfries could have been sold after his first season as he failed to meet expectations at the Milan club.

However, he got better last season and is improving further in this campaign as one of the key men at Inter.

In the season's first four league games, he scored a goal and provided two assists.

If he keeps going this way, he will end the term as one of his best at the club, which everyone wants.

Davide Fratessi

Fratessi ignored interest from the likes of Juventus and AC Milan to move to Inter in the last transfer window as one of the finest Italian midfielders around.

Before this move, the former Sassuolo man had developed a reputation for being among the top players in Serie A.

At Inter, he would have better teammates who can easily improve his performances on and off the pitch.

As one of the most sought-after players in the last transfer window, Fratessi has a point to prove. He must show he can deliver top performances in a big club like Inter.

Juan Cuadrado

Cuadrado moved from fierce rivals Juventus to Inter in the last transfer window as a free agent.

This transfer effectively demolished his reputation at the Black and Whites and it seemed to be his way of getting back at the Old Lady for not handing him a new contract.

Inter fans kicked against the transfer even after he had joined the club, and he had to meet them to make peace.

Because of the issues around his move to Inter, the Colombian cannot fail to set the world on fire at Inter.

He is one of the experienced players Inzaghi believes can get his team over the line, and after winning five league crowns at Juventus, we expect him to deliver in Milan.

Yann Sommer

Sommer left a top club like Bayern Munich to move to Inter Milan in the last transfer window, which was a surprise move.

However, he knows Inter is also a big club and has a big shoe to fill after coming in as a replacement for Andre Onana.

The Cameroonian moved to Manchester United in a big-money transfer, and his performances in the last campaign helped Inter to reach the final of the Champions League and to compete for the Italian league.

Sommer was a league winner with Bayern Munich, having come in as a replacement for the injured Manuel Neuer.

The Swiss goalkeeper is one of the finest goalies in Europe over the last few terms and would have to be in great form in goal to achieve success with the Inter team.

Marcus Thuram

The top clubs in Europe chased the signature of Marcus Thuram in the last transfer window after he ran down his contract at Borussia Monchengladbach.

The attacker was in the France squad for the last World Cup in Qatar and it was clear that teams will battle to sign him.

Despite interest from Chelsea and Juventus, he signed for Inter Milan to follow in his father's footsteps in the Italian top flight.

Lilian Thuram was superb for Parma and Juventus but was a defender. If his son can make as much impact as he did in the competition, Inter has signed one of the best free agents ever.

The 26-year-old has already started life in Milan very comfortably with two goals and two assists from his first five league games.

At that rate, he could score 15-plus goals and the same number of assists for the Nerazzurri before the term finishes.

Inter are one of the top clubs in Europe now, and these players will know the fans expect so much from them in this campaign.
