According to FCIN, Inter had a scout on hand at this evening’s match in Cologne, Germany.

Di Marzio reports that it was Nerazzurri Assistant Sporting Director Baccin.

The outlet note that there was an Inter player on the pitch, in the form of goalkeeper Yann Sommer. However, it is not as though the Nerazzurri need to scout the veteran keeper.

Rather, FCIN report, it was Ndoye who Inter were observing.

The Swiss international is a player who the Nerazzurri as a prospective option at right-wingback.

Ndoye plays as more of an attacking winger for both Bologna and Switzerland.

However, Inter view the 23-year-old former Basel man as having the right profile to transition to more of a two-way wingback role.

FCIN compare this to the positional change of Juan Cuadrado.

Inter would only move for Ndoye in the even that Denzel Dumfries leaves this summer.

However, Dumfries’s future is a bit up in the air at the moment. Everything depends on the Dutchman’s contract situation.

If Dumfries does not extend his deal, then Inter will aim to sell him this summer.

And in that event, reports FCIN, then Ndoye would be a player on the Nerazzurri’s radar to replace him. Particularly after getting a good look at him this evening.
