Inter have officially loaned youth academy talent Thomas Berenbruch to Serie B side Avellino, but there is both an option to buy and a counter-option.
Born in Italy with joint German citizenship, he represented the Azzurrini at various youth levels and came up through the Inter academy.
Inter keen to keep Berenbruch control
Now 21, he had been playing for the Under-23 squad in Serie C, but has taken a step up to play in Avellino in Serie B this season.
It is a loan with option to buy at the end of the campaign, although the Nerazzurri have made sure to retain a counter-option so that he can return to base.
This is the technique that was also used with youth product Aleksandar Stankovic and Club Brugge.
He had been linked with Cagliari and Utrecht, but ended up signing for Avellino to get regular playing time.
Berenbruch is a midfielder who has made two appearances with the senior Inter squad, both during the 2024-25 campaign in the Champions League with Feyenoord and Coppa Italia semi-final against Milan.
