Inter Milan could rival Palmeiras for the signing of Julio Enciso, who prioritizes Europe

Inter Milan are considering a move for Brighton’s Julio Enciso, a player who is also Palmeiras’ main target in the current transfer window. According to journalist Rudy Galetti, the Paraguayan midfielder wants to stay in European football, which could complicate Verdão’s plans.

Competition heats up

Enciso is on Abel Ferreira’s radar as Palmeiras’ “plan A,” with the coach seeing him as the creative centerpiece of his midfield. However, European clubs are also circling. Alongside Inter, Roma and other sides are monitoring his situation but are waiting to see if Brighton will lower its financial demands.

Contract situation gives hope

The 21-year-old joined Brighton from Libertad in 2022 and is under contract until June 2026. With the possibility of signing a pre-contract in January 2026 and leaving on a free transfer the following July, the Seagulls may be forced to sell him at a reduced fee to avoid losing him for nothing. This scenario could benefit both Palmeiras and European suitors.

Inter Milan’s summer dilemma

Inter are reshaping their squad under new coach Cristian Chivu after Simone Inzaghi’s departure. The Serie A giants see Enciso as a potential reinforcement, though they could also lose key defender Benjamin Pavard. The Frenchman has been linked with Barcelona, who are evaluating a move depending on La Liga registration constraints.
