Here’s how Antonio Conte’s side would look if he landed his top targets
Inter Milan have secured deals for a number of big names since Conte was appointed last summer to replace Luciano Spalletti.
And the 50-year-old swiftly got rid of Mauro Icardi, Ivan Perisic and Radja Nainggolan because they did not fit the bill.
Conte signed Diego Godin on a free deal and landed Serie A stars Nicolo Barella and Stefano Sensi to bolster his midfield.
And then the manager turned his attentions back to the Premier League – where he worked with Chelsea from 2016 until 2018.
Romelu Lukaku completed a £76.5million switch from Manchester United to Inter Milan on deadline Day.
Conte was questioned as the Italian side TRIPLED the Belgian’s wages – but his gamble has paid off.
The 26-year-old already has 16 goals and four assists under his belt this season.
Then Conte signed Alexis Sanchez on loan until the end of the season despite his disastrous spell with Manchester United.

Manchester United team-mate Tahith Chong also looks set to make the move to Italy.
The 20-year-old’s agent has been pictured meeting with Inter officials ahead of a potential free transfer this summer.
Reports in Italy claim wantaway Tottenham star Christian Eriksen has penned a four-and-a-half year deal with Inter.
And Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has told fans to respect him even if he does decide to end his seven-year stay in North London.
Conte’s side could also snap up Jesse Lingard as he is facing the axe at Old Trafford.
The England international has reportedly been offered to the Italian giants as he looks to revive his career in Italy.
And it appears that Conte is not satisfied with just two former Premier League stars in attack.
It is understood that Inter hope to land Olivier Giroud this weekend after offering Chelsea £3.8m plus bonuses for the France striker.
