How Inter Milan could look under Antonio Conte with Romelu Lukaku and Victor Moses – but no Mauro Icardi
The Serie A giants will be looking to mount a title challenge next season under the former Chelsea boss
Inter Milan are set for a summer of change.
Luciano Spalletti two-year spell as manager is expected to come to an end as former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte waits in the wings.
Conte has been out of work since being sacked by the Blues last summer, but is set to replace Spalletti.
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku, who the Italian tried to sign at Chelsea in 2017, is reportedly his top transfer target, along with Stamford Bridge outcast Victor Moses.
Moses featured prominently during Conte’s two seasons in west London, and played a crucial role in the club’s Premier League title win in the 2016/17 season.
With Conte understood to be targeting Lukaku, it could spell the end for Inter star Mauro Icardi, who has been linked with a move to Juventus.
Inter are fourth in Serie A with one game to go and are battling Atalanta and AC Milan for Champions League football.
However, under Conte, the club could mount a long-awaited title challenge, but how will they line up? marvelbet369.com takes a look.

Samir Handanovic has been Inter’s first-choice goalkeeper since 2012 and that is not expected to change under Conte.
But the veteran stopper is likely to have a back-three in front of him with Conte known to favour a 3-4-3 formation, which brought him Premier League and FA Cup glory at Chelsea.
Earlier this month, Diego Godin announced he will be leaving Atletico Madrid this summer, and has been heavily linked with Inter.
He could be in a solid-looking back-three alongside Milan Skriniar and Stefan de Vrij.
Moses, whose 18-month loan with Fenerbahce would have to be cut short in order to move to the San Siro, would slot in at right-wing-back, a position he starred in under Conte at Stamford Bridge.
Kwadwo Asamoah would be an obvious candidate at left-wing-back after playing there during his Juventus days.
Radja Nainggolan and Marcelo Brozovic could feature in the middle of the park as their work-rate and energy would suit Conte’s style of play.
Lautaro Martinez, who has had an impressive debut season at the San Siro which resulted in an Argentina call-up for the Copa America, could be shifted out wide to accommodate Lukaku.
Meanwhile, Perisic, whose future with Inter remains uncertain, would play in his preferred left wing position, if he stays.
