Inter Milan have joined the growing list of clubs tracking Yanis Massolin, as the Modena midfielder continues to attract attention ahead of the winter transfer deadline.
The French-Algerian midfielder, often referred to as the “Algerian Rabiot”, has emerged as one of the most closely monitored players of the January transfer window following a series of convincing performances in Serie B.
His rise in form has not gone unnoticed, with several leading European clubs now keeping a close watch on his situation.
Massolin has established himself as a central figure in Modena’s midfield this season. Comfortable operating in a box-to-box role, he has combined defensive discipline with forward movement, offering balance and intensity in the middle of the pitch.
In 14 appearances across all competitions, he has scored once and registered two assists, figures that reflect both his consistency and growing influence.
Inter Milan are the latest Serie A side to step up their interest. The Nerazzurri are said to be in an advanced phase of observation, adding their name to a list that already includes AC Milan, Juventus and Lazio. The player’s athletic profile and scope for development are understood to be key factors behind this attention.
Modena, however, are keen to maintain control of the situation. Aware of the increasing demand for their midfielder, the club are reportedly unwilling to enter negotiations below a significant valuation.
A fee of €12m has been set, a figure that reflects both Massolin’s potential and the rarity of his profile in the current market.
Interest in the 21-year-old is not limited to Italy. Sources indicate that PSV Eindhoven and Villarreal are also monitoring his progress, underlining his growing reputation beyond Serie B and reinforcing his status as one of the emerging names in European football.
Eligible to represent Algeria through his mother, Massolin has yet to feature for France at any official level, leaving his international future open. While that decision is not currently at the forefront, his rapid rise at club level could soon influence the wider picture.
With only days remaining before the transfer window closes, Massolin’s future remains uncertain. What is clear is that his performances have placed him firmly at the centre of the market, with Modena determined to hold their position unless their valuation is met.
