Following Suning’s high-profile acquisition of Inter Milan, it comes as no surprise that player exchanges between the two clubs are now in the spotlight. The biggest question on everyone’s mind is: which Inter players might make the move to Suning during the secondary transfer window?
According to reports, several Nerazzurri players — including striker Éder, midfielder Felipe Melo, and fullback Davide Santon — have emerged as potential signings for the Chinese Super League side. Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà revealed on his personal site that Suning has shown significant interest in both Éder and Melo, listing them as key targets for the upcoming transfer window. Additional Italian media outlets echoed this, reporting that Suning has even made a verbal approach to Melo.
Looking at Suning’s current squad, Brazilian forward Jô and Croatian midfielder Sammir may be on their way out this summer. From a positional perspective, Éder and Melo would be ideal replacements. Suning’s front line is currently lacking firepower, and a strong striker from Inter could help turn the tide.
This isn’t the first time Suning has pursued Éder. Earlier this year, the club submitted three offers for the Italian international, reportedly going as high as €14 million. Despite their efforts, Éder turned them down. However, circumstances may have changed. Still, one critical factor remains: Éder is on loan to Inter from Sampdoria, so Suning must first gain approval from his parent club if they hope to seal the deal.
Meanwhile, Melo, a 33-year-old former Brazil international, has long been linked with a move to the Chinese Super League. He was previously rumored to be in talks with Shanghai Shenhua. Now, as he approaches the twilight of his career, a lucrative contract at Suning could be the golden ticket — a classic “last hurrah” before retirement.
In addition, respected Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has confirmed that Suning is also monitoring Inter fullback Davide Santon. “Suning has their eyes on Melo, Santon, and Éder,” Di Marzio stated. “Let’s see which of the three will agree to make the move to China.”
