Inter Milan Chase Rock-solid Bassey

Ibrahim Latest

Italian Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan is setting its sights firmly on rock-solid Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey, with credible reports suggesting that the Nerazzurri, along with several other Serie A clubs, are keenly monitoring the Nigeria international ahead of the January transfer window, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced.

The 26-year-old centre-back, who also excels as a left-back, has established himself as a key figure in Marco Silva’s squad since his arrival from Ajax in the summer of 2023 for a substantial £19 million.

Bassey’s exceptional versatility, imposing physical presence, and composure on the ball have made him a vital asset at Craven Cottage, particularly as Fulham tackles a gruelling Premier League season further complicated by injuries and international commitments.

Currently representing Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations alongside club colleagues Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze, Bassey’s absence from recent matches underscores his significance to the team's performance.

Fulham's stance is clear: the club has no intentions of allowing a mid-season exit, firmly regarding the former Rangers star as a cornerstone of their defensive strategy and long-term ambitions.

Inter's interest is driven by their urgent quest for defensive reinforcements, as Christian Chivu’s squad seeks to enhance depth in the midst of an intense Scudetto race and Champions League obligations.
