Inter Milan are continuing to work through a busy summer of business involving their academy talent, with Corriere dello Sport detailing plans for a host of young players either close to the first team or in need of a fresh loan experience.
The most pressing case is Akinsanmiro. A permanent transfer to Pisa worth €7.5m collapsed due to bureaucratic issues, but Inter remain confident of selling the Nigerian midfielder elsewhere, with interest already coming from clubs abroad who could offer an even bigger fee.
Attention has also turned to Luka Topalovic, one of the academy's most promising prospects, with the Slovenian midfielder attracting interest from clubs in Italy and further afield. Inter are open to a departure but want to retain control of his registration through a structure that would allow a possible return in future.
That approach has already been used with several Primavera players this summer: Giacomo Stabile has joined Sudtirol, Christos Alexiou has moved to AEK Athens and Giacomo De Pieri has gone to Ascoli, all on loans with options and counter-options in Inter's favour. Luca Di Maggio's move was different, sold outright to Avellino for €500,000 with Inter retaining a sell-on percentage.
Elsewhere, the futures of Matteo Stante, Issiaka Kamate - followed by Padova - Matteo Spinacce, close to a move to Modena, and young players Thomas Berenbruch and Matteo Cocchi remain to be resolved. Franco Carboni has already completed a move to Parma, while his brother Valentin will spend until December on loan at Racing Avellaneda. Tomas Palacios has also moved to Argentina, joining Estudiantes until the end of the calendar year with a buy option set at just under €7m.
Inter are also tracking the progress of former academy graduates no longer at the club, including Filip Stankovic, Gaetano Oristanio and Lucien Agoume, in whom they retain sell-on interests of 50%, 50% and 10% respectively.
The volume of activity underlines how central academy sales have become to Inter's transfer strategy this summer, balancing the need to raise funds against a desire to keep tabs on players who could develop into first-team assets or valuable resale opportunities.
Topalovic in particular is seen as one to watch, having already featured for the first team and expected to join the senior squad for their pre-season training camp in Germany regardless of how his immediate future is resolved.
