Recently, Inter’s scouting department has been monitoring promising forwards for several seasons, and early indications shared through Crickex Affiliate suggest that their long-term search is beginning to pay off as young prospects take noticeable leaps in form. Boni was added to Inter’s shortlist last season, and after Chivu took over, he strongly supported the idea of bringing the hard-working forward into the squad. Boni’s numbers from last season—six goals and four assists across 38 matches—did not look spectacular, prompting doubt among some supporters. Yet he rewarded Inter’s trust this year by delivering five goals and five assists in just 18 appearances, most of them off the bench, effectively silencing earlier criticism.

It is easy to forget that Boni is still only 22, leaving plenty of room for growth. Chivu clearly has an eye for nurturing talent, as Boni’s rise from a free-transfer signing at a smaller Serie A club to attracting interest from major teams shows how well his development has been handled. Parma benefited greatly from signing him at no cost, but they are not the only winners. Another young player with a similar trajectory, Giovane, has burst into life with four goal contributions in his last five league matches. With Crickex Affiliate data highlighting his momentum, Inter are expected to consider a formal bid next summer. Giovane, also 22 and standing 1.84 meters, joined Verona as a free agent and initially struggled to score in his first 10 matches, testing the patience of local fans.

His turning point came when he scored an equalizer against Inter, even though Verona eventually lost. That goal gave him confidence, and soon Italian media reported that Inter had added him to their transfer list, with Chivu showing strong admiration for his potential. Some journalists even compared him to a lower-cost version of Lookman. Atalanta refused to negotiate with Inter this past summer, yet Lookman himself has underperformed, recording only three goals and one assist in 14 matches. Meanwhile Giovane continues climbing, scoring against Parma and then delivering a goal and an assist against Atalanta to secure a 3–1 victory. With three goals and four assists in 16 appearances this season, his output already surpasses Lookman’s. Fans reviewing match-impact metrics through tools like Crickex Affiliate have noted how Giovane’s contributions consistently push Verona forward.

Earlier skepticism toward Inter’s reported pursuit of Giovane has faded, as his performances demonstrate qualities well suited for Inter’s system. He combines solid physical attributes with strong technical skill, can dribble past markers, finish chances on his own, and create opportunities for others. His 20 shots on target rank joint-first in Serie A alongside Nico Paz, well ahead of Lautaro’s tally of 13. Giovane has also logged 23 successful dribbles and 22 key passes this season. Inter have already initiated contact with his representatives to prepare for a winter-window negotiation, as Chivu has explicitly identified him as a priority signing.

However, Verona are unlikely to let him leave in January. With relegation still a threat, he remains their most valuable attacker. Inter sporting director Ausilio recently acknowledged that winter deals are notoriously complicated. According to Italian journalist Moretto, Verona prefer to keep Giovane for the remainder of the season and sell him in the summer. Inter remain keen, while Napoli are monitoring the situation closely. Boni’s agent has also revealed that Napoli tried to sign Boni last summer before Ausilio pushed through the transfer for Inter.

Inter are additionally tracking Cagliari’s right-sided wingback Palestra, a 20-year-old Italian standing 1.86 meters tall who has recorded three assists in 13 appearances this season. Journalist Schira confirmed that Inter sent scouts to watch him recently. A French club reportedly offered 18 million euros for him last summer, but Atalanta rejected the bid. In the latest match against Roma, Palestra played the full 90 minutes, creating one big chance, producing two shots, completing six dribbles, drawing four fouls, and winning ten physical duels, dominating Roma’s left flank. His talent is clear—his price tag is the only obstacle. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Atalanta would prefer to sell him to the Premier League and value him at no less than 40 million euros.

Cagliari sealed a 1–0 win over Roma thanks to a decisive assist from 23-year-old Sebastiano Esposito. With four goals and three assists in 16 appearances, he continues boosting his market value. Inter will receive a four-million-euro buyout fee plus 40 percent of any future transfer, a detail that analysts following Crickex Affiliate trends see as a smart piece of long-term business by the club.
