Inter Loaned Players Update: From Palacios to Topalovic
Several Inter Milan players are currently out on loan, ranging from those with buy-out clauses like Frattesi and Asllani to young talents like Palacios and Topalovic, sent out to gain experience.
Topalovic: The Slovenian talent is among those finding consistent playing time. On loan at Carrarese with an option and counter-option, the 2006-born midfielder was also included in the first-team squad during the summer break, signaling Inter's regard for him.
Cocchi: Matteo Cocchi shares a similar situation, transferred to Padova with an option and counter-option. For the 2007-born player, the primary goal is accumulating experience and minutes in professional football after his initial appearances with Inter. He has already featured in Serie B, with 5 total appearances and an assist.
De Pieri: He has moved to Ascoli under the same loan terms of option and counter-option. The 2006-born forward comes from a path that had already seen him get close to the first team, and now he must translate his youth-level qualities into consistent professional performance. He is showing growth: 3 appearances in Serie B, 128 minutes, and 1 assist. After starting on the bench, he has earned a starting spot.
Stabile: The 2005-born defender has been sent to play in Serie B for Südtirol. He is already familiar with professional football, and his previous experience at Bari allowed him to start competing at a level above the Primavera youth team. Inter also utilized a loan spell for him in the latter half of the previous season. He has made three appearances in Serie B, one as a starter, totaling 203 minutes. While he has accumulated playing time, he needs to find consistency.
Berenbruch: Thomas Berenbruch's progress has been more challenging, at least for now. The midfielder joined Avellino and must earn his place in a squad that does not automatically guarantee him a starting position. He is also on a loan with an option and counter-option but has seen limited action: just 14 minutes in Serie B. He is still seeking his role in the team's hierarchy.
Spinaccè: Matteo Spinaccè faces a similar scenario at Mantova. The 2005-born center-forward had previously tasted involvement with Inter's senior team. He is on loan with a buy-out option. His start has been difficult: he has not yet played in Serie B. The loan was intended for his development, but the beginning has been complicated.
Alexiou: Abroad, Christos Alexiou has moved to AEK Athens. The Greek defender is one of the profiles Inter continues to monitor closely. The loan terms allow the Nerazzurri to retain control over the player's future, with a buy-out and counter-buy-out option. He has not yet featured in the league, but he scored a brace in the Greek Cup during an 8-1 victory against Panserraikos.
Maye: He joined Monza alongside Akinsanmiro. The loan includes an option and counter-option, but he has had limited playing time. He has made two appearances in Serie A for a total of just 10 minutes, plus a 75-minute game in the Coppa Italia. However, he had already scored for Inter U23 in Serie C before his transfer.
Zarate: On a straight loan to Cadiz, he has played 3 games in Segunda, accumulating 134 minutes with no goals and no assists. He has also come off the bench in recent matches.
Carboni: His loan to Racing Club de Avellaneda, managed by Milito, has been extended until 2027. A knee injury has significantly impacted his progress, playing only five brief spells in 2026. Inter chose to extend the loan to allow him to recover and relaunch his career.
Palacios: Also in Argentina with Estudiantes, he is on loan with a buy-out option and is now a regular starter, showing growth. He even contributed an assist in the Copa Libertadores.
Massolin: On loan with a buy-out and counter-buy-out option to Cagliari, he has not yet played a single minute following an injury that sidelined him this summer.
Frattesi: On loan with a buy-out option at Lazio, he is a regular starter, scoring 3 goals in the first 4 Serie A matches, a significant increase from zero goals throughout last season.
Asllani: On loan with a buy-out option at Al Jazeera, with a potential obligation under certain conditions. He has already found playing time and scored, suggesting a potential departure at the end of the season.
