Report – Inter Set Sights on Highly-Rated Ligue 1 Wingback
Serie A champions Inter remain in the market for Denzel Dumfries ' long-term heir amid concerns surrounding Anan Khalaili's arrival. According to Gazzetta dello Sport , the Nerazzurri have identified Strasbourg starlet Guela Doue as a fallback option.
Despite finding an agreement with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise over Khalaili's transfer to Giuseppe Meazza, the transfer is at risk of collapsing. The Belgian giants have already sanctioned the 21-year-old's €25 million sale, yet the player's physical issues threaten to prevent the deal from crossing the finish line.

Meanwhile, Inter are eager to find a suitable replacement for Dumfries, who has joined Real Madrid . Marco Palestra had long been Beppe Marotta's ideal candidate, only for the former Atalanta starlet to turn down the Nerazzurri in favor of a big-money move to Chelsea .
With Palestra out of the picture and Khalaili's arrival now in jeopardy, Inter have reportedly set their sights on Doue.
Our take on Inter & Doue
Formerly linked with Milan , Doue has enjoyed a notable rise to stardom at Strasbourg, emerging as one of the fastest-growing talents in Ligue 1. Unlike his brother, Desire Doue , who plays for France , the 23-year-old represented Ivory Coast at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, producing a string of impressive displays on the biggest stage.

However, Inter would likely have to allocate substantial funds to sign Doue, whose market value exceeds Khalaili's €25m valuation. On the bright side, Strasbourg are reportedly open to selling their prized assets this summer after failing to secure European football.
In addition to Doue, who would be a major upgrade on Luis Henrique , Inter remain interested in Fiorentina stalwart Dodo and Genoa youngster Brooke Norton-Cuffy .
