40 million, Inter Milan s 18-year-old young player, 37-year-old meritorious service, and will give way, and will terminate the contract with 500,000 yuan soon.

According to the "Milan Sports Daily", Inter Milan is planning a high bet on the back line. After the nearly month-long season, they will launch a revolutionary reform, including the early termination of the 37-year-old meritorious defender Archerby and the introduction of two young central defenders, focusing on Parma's 18-year-old local player, Leoni, who has the title of "New Nesta". The termination of the contract with Archerby was very sudden. Before the Club World Cup, Inter Milan also planned to complete the last-year agreement with the veteran, allowing him to act as a ‘mentor’ and help the team complete the transition. However, with the new coach Ziwo taking over and the possibility of leaving the team by many main players in the team after the Club World Cup, Inter Milan's management changed its ideas, from a gradual change of blood to a real knockdown and reconstruction. Archerby's role was in conflict with another old defender Dove Lai, and his departure would make room for Leoni.

Last season, Leoni made explosive progress, especially when Zivo took over Parma, Leoni became the absolute main force of the team's drag-back central defender. When fighting against strong teams such as Naples, Juventus, Bologna, his youthfulness is also convincing. After becoming the main player, he averaged as high as 7.2 times per game. If converted to the entire season, he ranks second in the Serie A clearance list, which also made Parma dare to face Inter Milan and shout a 40 million euro offer.

Mitti believes that Inter Milan will eventually take out a 35 million euro + bonus to unlock Leoni's transfer, and then let him gradually grow behind Dove Lai, and start to take the lead in the second half of the season. Currently, there are two central defenders in Inter Milan, Archerby and Dove Lai, who are behind, so the termination of Archerby can also be regarded as Leoni to make room for growth.

In addition to Leoni, Inter Milan will also win Genoa central defender Derwent for 25 million euros. Previously, local Belgian media revealed that Inter Milan had reached an agreement with him, but because Leoni's high-priced transfer and the slow progress of cleaning up the players made them unable to activate the transfer immediately. Local news in Belgium is that Derwent can already be regarded as a member of Inter Milan's team.

In fact, there is another reason why Inter Milan has given Leoni's ranking before Derwent, which is that Liverpool currently faces the possibility of centre-back Connate leaving the team. It is said that Real Madrid intends to join the French defender this summer. Once Connate is lost, Liverpool will attack Leoni, which is also the reason why Parma shouted a high price and Inter Milan gave priority to completing his transfer.

Once the transfer between Leoni and Derwent is completed at the same time, Inter Milan's defense line in the new season is Bastoni, Derwent is 22 and Leoni is 18 years old, with an average age of only 21.7 years old. He jumped from the oldest defense line in Europe last season to the youngest defense line.

It is worth mentioning that Inter Milan may also lose 36-year-old goalkeeper Sommer. Galatasaray is trying to bring him to Turkey with a 8 million euros after tax. The replacement is Martinez, who joined Genoa last season, who is only 26 years old.

When playing against Barcelona last season, Inter Milan's average age was over 31 years old. However, this season, with older players such as Sommer, Archerby, and Mkhitaryan retreating to the second line or going far away, Inter Milan's main lineup is very likely to be reduced to over 24 years old. Although the strength of the Nerazzurri has declined in the short term, in the long run, a younger Inter Milan will be conducive to the coaching of young coach Ziwo. It seems that Inter Milan is patient with the 45-year-old coach and is equiping him with a growth team, leaving him enough room for improvement.
