Inter Milan chief Marco Branca admits they're holding back from plunging into the summer market.

Inter are expected to overhaul their squad after a dismal campaign.

"It's too soon to talk about our approach or mention names, our first target is to be competitive again," Branca said.

"So no, we need a little patience. We are currently in the preliminary stage, so just a little patience.

"But, it is crucial to be competitive again.

"Does the criticism bother me? No. I always accept the criticism."
