Inter need a replacement for Denzel Dumfries following his move to Real Madrid, while Roma have lacked someone in that role ever since Gian Piero Gasperini took over at the Stadio Olimpico.

Cox/Getty Images) Diaby has been identified as a potential new signing for Inter on loan, or with Kristjan Asllani as part of a package to buy, but Sportitalia warn that it would only be possible if Al-Ittihad helped cover a portion of his extraordinary salary.
Al-Ittihad paid €60m to buy Diaby from Aston Villa in 2024 and tempted him with huge wages that are well beyond the Serie A Champions.
According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter could instead turn towards Juventus outcast Nico Gonzalez, who just returned from a loan experience with Atletico Madrid.
The Argentina international impressed for his country at the World Cup and is under contract until June 2029, so a loan with option to buy would be feasible.
It is reported this evening that the Nerazzurri have made initial contact with his entourage, but they face competition from Roma , who see Nico Gonzalez as an alternative to Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig.

What happened
Nico Gonzalez, who joined Juventus from Fiorentina in 2024, could be made available on loan in the January transfer window. Both Inter and Roma are monitoring the situation as they look to strengthen their attacking options. Juventus are open to letting the Argentine winger leave temporarily, though a permanent exit has not been ruled out. Gonzalez has struggled for consistent playing time in Turin, which has fueled speculation about his departure.
Chance analysis
Gonzalez's potential departure would free up minutes and potentially wage space for Juventus, while giving Inter or Roma a versatile attacking reinforcement mid-season. For Inter, adding a left-footed winger could address depth concerns, particularly if they're competing on multiple fronts. Roma would benefit from additional creativity. The loan structure suggests Juventus are cautious about a full sale, indicating they still see long-term value in the player.
Gonzalez's potential loan exit would reduce Juventus' attacking depth but could strengthen Inter or Roma's wide options in the second half of the season.
