Inter have opened discussions with representatives of Borussia Dortmund defender Luca Reggiani regarding a possible temporary move this summer. The Serie A club are exploring options to bring the 18-year-old centre-back back to Italy amid concerns over his first-team prospects in Germany.
Dortmund’s firm position
Borussia Dortmund remain unwilling to entertain a permanent sale of the promising defender. The Bundesliga outfit secured Reggiani to a long-term contract extension only in March and view him as a significant asset for future campaigns. This firm stance suggests any transfer would necessitate a temporary arrangement rather than a permanent switch.
Reggiani broke into the first-team setup last season, making nine senior appearances across all competitions. His performances at club level earned international recognition, with the teenager securing his first senior cap for the Azzurri in June. Despite these advances, competition for defensive places at Signal Iduna Park means regular starting opportunities remain uncertain for the upcoming term.
Serie A interest builds
Inter are not alone in tracking the teenager’s availability. Several other Italian clubs have registered interest in securing Reggiani’s services, creating a competitive environment should Dortmund sanction a departure. The player himself is understood to be receptive to the idea of returning to his homeland, where he believes he can secure more consistent playing time.
Likely next steps
With the German club insistent on retaining the player’s long-term rights, a season-long loan appears the most viable solution. This structure would satisfy Reggiani’s desire for regular football while allowing Dortmund to monitor his progress against top-tier opposition. Inter will need to act swiftly if they wish to beat domestic rivals to the signature of the young international.
