Report – Inter Milan Set Sights On Towering Atalanta Defender & Compile Three-Man Backup List | OneFootball

Inter Milan have identified Atalanta star Isak Hien as an ideal defensive reinforcement for the summer transfer window.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Inter chiefs will pay close attention to Hien’s performance tonight.

Simone Inzaghi will be able to observe Hien first-hand when Atalanta take on his Inter side this evening.

Indeed, Hien will face a formidable challenge in Bergamo.

Gian Piero Gasperini must rely on the Swedish ace to contend with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.
