Inter Milan targets French goalkeeper Illan Meslier from Leeds United during January's transfer window. Football Italia reports the Serie A champions seek a permanent successor to veteran Swiss keeper Yann Sommer. Leeds prefers selling the 25-year-old midfielder rather than releasing him without compensation when his deal expires in summer 2026. Brazilian Lucas Pereira has displaced Meslier from the starting lineup this season.
The Nerazzurri anticipate goalkeeper restructuring as Sommer approaches contract expiration at age 36. Management favors Meslier over current backup Josep Martinez to strengthen positional depth. Leeds benefits financially from a January departure instead of a free summer exit. Meslier brings extensive experience through 215 Leeds appearances across multiple competitions.
