Inter Milan is preparing to loan Andy Diouf for the next season.

Inter Milan is preparing an offensive to secure the loan of young French prospect Andy Diouf, with Sassuolo leading the race and Venezia lurking for an opportunity.

At the epicenter of winter transfer market movements, Inter Milan is planning a strategic loan for the upcoming season, aiming to ensure that young French star Andy Diouf gets the essential playing time to grow and establish himself in Serie A. Sassuolo, known for investing in emerging talents, has emerged as the main candidate to host the midfielder, while Venezia remains watchful, depending on their success in the fight for promotion to the Italian elite.

Andy Diouf, signed by Inter in the summer of 2025 with a contract until 2030, has experienced a frustrating season, participating in only 14 games, almost always coming off the bench. The arrival of reinforcements like Ismael Koné and Filip Stankovic in the Nerazzurri midfield has drastically reduced the young Frenchman’s opportunities, making it urgent to find a club where he can accumulate competitive minutes.

Sources close to the club reveal that Sassuolo has already officially expressed interest to Inter, emphasizing their desire to secure Diouf to strengthen their midfield. For Inter, this is an ideal opportunity to ensure that the player continues his development in a competitive environment, benefiting from the excellent relationship between the management of both teams, particularly between Sassuolo’s CEO Giovanni Carnevali and the Nerazzurri’s management.

In addition to Diouf, the dialogue between Inter and Sassuolo already involves other players such as Ismael Koné and Muharemovic, which could result in a comprehensive negotiation that benefits both parties. At the same time, Venezia emerges as a viable alternative, especially if they manage to return to Serie A, also offering the possibility of receiving goalkeeper Filip Stankovic as a backup to starter Vicario.

For Diouf, the priority is clear: to play regularly. A loan to Serie A is the logical and necessary step to ensure that the French talent does not stagnate on the bench. Inter, aware of this need, is committed to finding the best solution to enhance the future of the young midfielder.

This move could mark a turning point in Andy Diouf’s career, who urgently needs minutes to establish himself in Italian football and solidify his value in the nerazzurri squad in the long term.
