Inter Milan eye young Bruges defender Ordonez for next season

Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reveals that Inter Milan are exploring young defensive options as Acerbi’s future remains uncertain

It’s no longer a secret that Inter Milan want to rejuvenate their defense ahead of next season, especially since Acerbi might leave the Nerazzurri club. 

Speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, Matteo Moretto mentioned a name that Inter Milan really like:

“Inter Milan are looking for a central defender for next season and are already working to scout several strong and young centre-backs. 

As we’ve already said, Acerbi’s future is still 100% undecided, but as of now, the chances of a contract renewal are not very high". 

Bruges’ Ordonez remains high on Inter Milan’s defensive shortlist

"Everything depends on Acerbi’s performance, but Inter Milan are already preparing for a new centre-back — and we’re bringing back a name mentioned at the end of the summer transfer window: Ordonez, born in 2004, from Bruges.

He has a contract running until 2029 and does not come cheap — Bruges are known for being a tough negotiator — but relations between the clubs are good. 

We’ll see if the situation heats up in the coming months. Ordonez was, is, and remains a player that Inter Milan are monitoring very closely for the future.”
