Inter Milan chooses one of three defenses, former Serie A MVP, PK two major stars in Ligue 1 and Bundesliga

For Italian giants Inter Milan, it seems that they have finally begun to make efforts in the central defender position in the final stage of the transfer market. According to the German "South Deutsche Evening News", they are negotiating with Bayern about the transfer of South Korean central defender Kim Min-jae in their team. At the same time, Italian transfer expert Zazaroni revealed that Inter Milan is attacking Rennes' young central defender Yakai, while French team newspaper claimed that Inter Milan's actual goal in the transfer market is RB Leipzig's French defender Lukeba. For a moment, news about Inter Milan's search for a defender occupied headlines in major media.

But at least one thing can be confirmed that Inter Milan is indeed looking for a reliable central defender. Let’s analyze which player is more suitable for Inter Milan based on the technical characteristics of the three players and the possible transfer price.

First of all, let's start with Lukeba. Fans who often watch Bundesliga may have a deep impression of this defender. He is in excellent health and relatively balanced. He has a very deep foundation in both defense and shooting. He is a real top-level player in RB Leipzig's defense.

However, Lukeba is still in Leipzig at the age of 24, which is also due to some deep reasons. First of all, he has relatively many injuries, and has only played about 70 games in the last three seasons. This is definitely unqualified for Leipzig, a regular player in the European War Zone. Secondly, when Leipzig introduced him from Ligue 1, it cost 30 million euros, so the asking price is also very high. In fact, the editor believes that Lukeba is also the most unreliable target.

Inter Milan is unlikely to spend 40-50 million euros to introduce a player with hidden injuries, especially he is still a left-footed central defender, and Inter Milan already has the world's top left-footed central defender Bastoni.

Let's talk about Renne's young central defender Yakai. This defender only played 11 games for Renne last season. The reason for his too few appearances is not only because of his age of 20, but also because of some injuries. According to the team report, Renne's estimate of him is 30-40 million euros. Of course, this is just the valuation rather than the final asking price. I believe that a quotation of 20-30 million euros can be won. If you buy Yakai, you will be optimistic about his potential, but it seems that at least in terms of ability and adaptability to Serie A, he is not as good as Derwent and Leoni who Inter Milan had missed before.

Finally, Bayern central defender Kim Min-jae, who was the winner of the best defender MVP in Serie A before. Of course, there is no mention of his strength and adaptability to Serie A. At the same time, the age of 28 is also the year of playing. However, Kim Min-jae's biggest problem is his salary. His salary at Bayern is between 11 and 12 million euros. After tax, he is even above Bastoni, who has the highest salary in Inter Milan's defense. Obviously, if Inter Milan really comes, Kim Min-jae must accept the salary cut requirement. At the same time, Bayern asked him for about 40 million euros, so in terms of usage costs, Kim Min-jae is undoubtedly the highest, which is equivalent to spending 20 million euros per year.

Obviously, after a horizontal comparison of these three people, you can see that if you look at it based on the idea of ​​younger life + investment potential this season, then Yakai is the most suitable one. He is 20 years old, has potential, and French nationality is also valuable. If we look at the immediate combat power, then Kim Min-jae is the most suitable. After all, the former Serie A best defender is guaranteed. Only Lukeba looks a little unreliable.

Of course, who Inter Milan chooses in the end depends on the comprehensive considerations of Inter Milan's management. Perhaps in the end, some unfamiliar names will suddenly appear, and maybe it may be.
