A club insider emphasized, “We aim to secure Bento’s signature early,” highlighting their commitment despite previous negotiation failures.

The club’s top executives, including Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio, will meet with the Suning group’s executives by the end of May to discuss the potential acquisition.
Inter is financially constrained this season, lacking a dedicated transfer budget and needing to fund purchases through player sales. “We’re committed to balancing our budget by the end of the transfer session,” stated a club director.
Bento, 24, under contract until December 2026, has impressed this season with 19 appearances, only nine goals conceded, and 11 clean sheets.
His potential arrival would replace Emil Audero, who Inter Milan is unlikely to retain permanently due to a €7 million buyout clause from Sampdoria.
