(Reuters) - Inter Milan are still pursuing defensive reinforcements as they look to build on a strong start to their Serie A campaign when they face their former coach Claudio Ranieri and his Cagliari side on Monday.

Simone Inzaghi's Inter began the season by beating Monza 2-0, with Lautaro Martinez scoring both goals, but their opponents failed to make the most of gaps in the Inter defence and were off target with their finishing when opportunities arose.
