Inter target Evan Ndicka as Roma set €35m price
Inter are weighing a move for Roma centre‑back Evan Ndicka this summer, while Roma have set a €35 million asking price for the 26‑year‑old whose contract runs to 2028. Ndicka made 42 Serie A appearances last season, confirming his status as a proven defender.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Ndicka has become a genuine interest for Cristian Chivu’s planned backline rebuild at Inter, with the club modelling a defensive pairing of Ndicka and Oumar Solet. The potential duo would replace Francesco Acerbi, who will leave at the end of his contract, and Stefan De Vrij, who is evaluating an offer from Panathinaikos.
Roma’s negotiating position is strong after signing Ndicka on a free transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, giving them pure profit on any sale. His four‑year deal until 2028 removes any urgency for the club to discount the €35 million fee.
Italian reports consistently cite the €35 million price, though some outlets suggest a range from €30 million to €40 million depending on commissions and payment structures. The figure represents a heavier outlay than the €30 million Inter are reportedly spending on Oumar Solet.
Italian media have framed Ndicka as a priority target if Alessandro Bastoni receives a major offer, and Tottenham and Marseille have also been mentioned in the same conversation, a factor that could accelerate Inter’s timing on the deal.
Inter must secure quality replacements rather than depth signings, with the exits of Acerbi and De Vrij shaping their defensive plans. Competition for Oumar Solet intensifies as the gap between Inter and Udinese narrows, according to SempreInter’s April report.
