Which Inter Players are in Euro 2024?

But the Euros tend to feel even higher stakes for Inter fans, as the vast majority of the fanbase are Italians. Not only will they be cheering on the Azzurri, but they’ll also have the chance to cheer on their favorite Inter players as they turn out for their national side. This was certainly the case during the 2020 Euros.

Last time around, both Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolo Barella were on the Italian roster when they swept a penalty win against England. This year, both Inter players are once again on the Italian national team.

After a nail-biting tie against the Croatians that will see them advance, bet365 odds for Euros are shortening slightly for the Azzurri. However, oddsmakers still have their eyes on France, Germany, and England to advance to the finals. As group stages wrap up, the competition becomes even more fierce.

Of the 13 Inter players to have made their national team’s rosters, which have the potential to make an impact going forward? And which players have already given their all to their national team? 

Nicolo Barella (Italy)

Nicolo Barella is now leading Italy’s national team in terms of goals scored—which may not be the byline many would expect to read about the midfielder. But Barella is one of the key contributors to the Azzurri—just like he was during their last Euros run.
 
In fact, Barella has come a long way since Italy lifted the trophy last. With Inter, he’s taken two Coppa Italias and three Supercoppe titles. But will Barella’s efforts be enough to push the Azzurri onward to the finals? As solid underdogs, Barella and company need to pull out all the stops.
 
Federico Dimarco (Italy)

At the moment, Federico Dimarco hasn’t quite proved himself in the Euros. However, as a player who is nearing his prime, it’s not too late. Dimarco doesn’t have quite the same winning history as other Azzurri, but he’s a strong and versatile player. One who will likely contribute to the team’s offense once he’s found his stride. 

Marcus Thuram (France)

Things aren’t quite shaking out for France how many pundits and fans thought. Just like the last Euros tournament, France entered as heavy favorites. Partly thanks to its star striker suffering a broken nose, the team looks to be tripping up. But Marcus Thuram is holding strong.

While Didier Deschamps attempts to cobble together a new lineup for his once Mbappe-led team, Thuram needs to find a new outlet. Despite his dominant performance with Inter, Thuram looks like he hasn’t quite found his footing. Is it down to a mismanaged lineup? Or is Thuram’s striking ability simply subpar in the Euros?

Hakan Çalhanoğlu (Turkey)

There’s a glow around Hakan Çalhanoğlu—a glow that’s bright enough to see Inter fighting a battle against Bayern Munich, who are on the hunt for the midfielder. At the moment, Çalhanoğlu is showcasing just what has made him such a desirable and formidable opponent.

He’s arguably led the Turkish national team through the group stages and will be one of the key forces that helps them through the incoming elimination phase. Even Portugal, a heavy favorite in Group F, only managed to skate by Turkey thanks to yet another own goal. Will Çalhanoğlu lead the way to a semi-final or even a finals appearance? It’s not out of the question.

Yann Sommer (Switzerland)

Thanks to Yann Sommer, Switzerland managed a draw with Germany that will see an advance out of the group stages. That might not seem like a huge feat, but Switzerland’s national side is in a bit of a rebuild at the moment. And that rebuilt lineup somehow managed to stave off the German side, a growing favorite for this year’s finals.
