Reports from the Italian press indicate that Inter Milano coach Cristi Chivu has identified Dennis Seimen as a transfer target. Seimen is a 20-year-old goalkeeper who plays for VfB Stuttgart and holds both Romanian and German citizenship. Multiple outlets describe him as a candidate to strengthen the goalkeeping position at the Serie A club, though no agreement has been confirmed.

The reported interest follows changes in the Inter Milano goalkeeping department. Yann Sommer, aged 37, left the club as a free agent to join Club Brugge after serving as the undisputed starter. Coach Cristi Chivu subsequently selected Josep Martinez, 28, to start in goal for the Italian champions. Tuttomercatoweb reported that Inter officials are closely monitoring Seimen’s situation.

Seimen returned to Stuttgart this summer after spending the 2025-2026 season on loan at Paderborn in the Zweite Bundesliga. Since his return, he has made five appearances across the championship and Champions League for Stuttgart. In four Bundesliga matches this season, he conceded six goals and kept one clean sheet. He also played one UEFA Champions League match against Atletico Madrid which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Financial terms remain unconfirmed and sources differ on valuation. Tuttomercatoweb stated that Inter Milano would need to pay over 25 million euros to secure the transfer. Another report claims Stuttgart would accept between 25 and 30 million euros. Specialist websites currently value Seimen at ten million euros. His contract with Stuttgart runs until the summer of 2029.

Seimen has represented Germany at youth level, earning four appearances for the Germany U21 national team. Reports suggest he is being monitored by other European clubs, with Manchester United and Atletico Madrid named as interested parties alongside Inter Milano. These claims regarding external interest remain unverified.

Inter Milano currently sits 14th in the Champions League standings before Wednesday's matches. The team is two points behind the final qualifying spot for the round of 16. Football Meets Data analysts assign the club a 25% probability of reaching the knockout stage directly.
