Inter Milan have secured the services of Petar Sucic, a 21-year-old midfielder from Dinamo Zagreb. This acquisition comes as the club prepares for the Club World Cup. The initial transfer fee is reportedly 14 million, with an additional 2.5 million in potential add-ons. Sucic, who has earned seven caps for Croatia, will bolster Inter's squad.

In the previous season, Sucic made significant contributions to Dinamo Zagreb. He scored five goals and provided two assists in 26 league matches. Despite his efforts, Dinamo finished second in the Croatian league, narrowly missing out on their 26th title due to a head-to-head tiebreaker against Rijeka.

Inter are currently without a manager following Simone Inzaghi's departure by mutual consent. This decision came after a heavy 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Inzaghi is now expected to join Al-Hilal. The club is actively searching for a new head coach ahead of their upcoming tournament commitments.

Cesc Fabregas has emerged as a potential candidate for the managerial role at Inter. The former Chelsea and Barcelona midfielder has impressed by leading Como to Serie A and achieving a respectable 10th-place finish in their first season back in Italy's top division. However, Como remains hopeful of retaining Fabregas, who also holds a minority stake in the club.

Sucic will join Inter before their opening match against Monterrey at the Rose Bowl on June 17. Following this fixture, Inter will travel to Seattle to face Urawa Red Diamonds on June 21. They will then conclude their Group E campaign against River Plate on June 25.

The Club World Cup presents an opportunity for Inter to showcase their new signing and adapt under potential new management. As they prepare for these crucial matches, securing a capable head coach remains a priority for the club.
