Francesco Acerbi has established himself as the cornerstone of Inzaghi’s backline.

Though he’s 37, Acerbi’s influence on and off the pitch remains immense, providing leadership, composure, and tactical discipline.

However, injuries have plagued the former Lazio man throughout an exhausting campaign.

As such, De Vrij has often been called upon to fill the void, matching expectations without exception.

With Inter set to confirm both veterans, the club’s transfer plans for the summer may change.

Indeed, Inzaghi’s side may abandon their pursuit of a new center-back and focus on strengthening other departments.
