Inter Milan entered the current season with high expectations, having established a strong lead in Serie A. However, recent performances have led to a significant downturn, as the team is now on a four-match winless streak across all competitions.
The decisive moment came during their latest match against Fiorentina on March 23, 2026, where Inter drew 1-1. Pio Esposito scored for Inter in the first minute, but Cher Ndour equalized for Fiorentina in the 77th minute. This result has reduced Inter’s lead in Serie A to just six points, raising concerns about their title defense.
In the wake of these struggles, the direct effects on the team are palpable. Inter Milan has only managed to pick up two points from their last three matches, which has put pressure on coach Cristian Chivu and the squad. Aleksandar Kolarov acknowledged the team’s poor form, stating, “We didn’t put in our best performance and we’re not in our best form but we’re six points in the lead so it’s all in our hands.” This sentiment reflects a mix of confidence and concern within the camp.
Amidst these challenges, there are also potential developments on the transfer front. Franck Kessie, who previously had a successful stint in Serie A, is reportedly keen to return to the league. Kessie’s agent has contacted both Inter Milan and Juventus regarding a possible summer transfer, as Kessie has only a few months left on his current contract with Al-Ahli.
Kessie spent seven years in Serie A before moving to Barcelona and then to Al-Ahli, where he captained AC Milan to the Scudetto in the 2021/22 season. His potential return could provide a much-needed boost for Inter as they navigate through this challenging period.
As the season progresses, the situation remains fluid, and details regarding Kessie’s transfer are still unconfirmed. The coming weeks will be crucial for Inter Milan as they aim to regain their form and maintain their position at the top of Serie A.
