Chivu era begins: Inter Milan's bold new project takes shape

After Simone Inzaghi's departure, Cristian Chivu is set to lead a younger, attack-minded Inter Milan into a new era

Inter Milan is turning the page—and doing so decisively. Following the departure of Simone Inzaghi, it’s Cristian Chivu’s turn to shape the face of the new Inter Milan: young, ambitious, and attack-oriented.

The lineup proposed by Top Calcio 24 via Fcinter1908 shows a fresh setup with many new faces and surprises across the pitch.

From Sommer to Lookman: a squad blending youth and firepower

In goal, Yann Sommer remains a reliable presence and quiet leader. In defense, alongside confirmed starters Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni, the young Leoni emerges as a surprise starter at the heart of the backline.

In midfield, Nicolò Barella will be the engine alongside Luka Sučić, the Croatian talent signed for €14 million (£11.76 million).

On the flanks, Denzel Dumfries will compete for the right side with Luis Henrique, while the left side remains under Federico Dimarco, with Carlos Augusto and Nicola Zalewski as alternatives.

But the real headline move is up front: Ademola Lookman, reportedly close to joining Inter Milan, would become the creative force of a new trident. 

He’d line up with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez, with Bonny and Pio Esposito ready to step in.

It’s a team that blends experience and youth, with the goal of staying competitive on all fronts. 

The new Inter Milan may not be a reality yet, but Chivu’s project is already igniting fans’ dreams. And if Beppe Marotta truly lands Lookman, then yes—a real Nerazzurri revolution will have begun.
