He hasn’t started since March 3rd against Atalanta and hasn’t scored since March 15th against Empoli, Giovanni Fabbian is impatient. The young rossoblù midfielder wants to return to being a protagonist as he has been throughout the season. With 5 goals and 2 assists he is the fourth most prolific player in the rossoblù after Zirkzee, Orsolini and Ferguson. And Motta holds him in high regard, given that since the beginning of the season his goals have all been decisive in winning, breaking the deadlock, taking the lead and consolidating the advantages.
The attention of Inter and Spalletti
Protagonist in coach Carmine Nunziata’s under 21 team, Giovanni Fabbian is impressing this season. The Venetian boy who grew up in Inter’s youth team is repeating his professional debut. Last season, Fabbian on loan from Inter to Reggina in Serie B was the protagonist of a great season with 8 goals. This year the 5 goals are also impressive because they came in a season in which Motta has excelled him: only 9 appearances from the first minute.
Numbers and performances that are attracting the attention of Inter and the coach of the senior national team Luciano Spalletti. The Nerazzurri have a watchful eye on Giovanni’s situation, as they have a buy-back right set at the time of his transfer to Bologna. 12 million is the amount agreed for the possible repurchase, which Inter can exploit in the summer of 2025; 5 million, however, the money spent by Bologna to bring the young midfielder from Camposampiero under the Two Towers. However, the rossoblù management is working to understand what margins there are to eliminate this clause. On the other hand, Inter are observing Zirkzee’s situation with great attention. Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio made no secret of these transfer problems, confirming that the Italian champions are observing the situation of the Italian and the Dutchman.
Fabbian, against Torino for an encore
One of the matches in which Giovanni Fabbian struck with one of his decisive goals was the first leg against Torino. In Dall’Ara’s 2-0, achieved in the second half, Giovanni was the protagonist of the goal that broke the deadlock in the 56th minute. Today he is excited and hopes to find a starting shirt again which, by Friday, he will have been missing for exactly 2 months. Two months in which Thiago Motta made different choices for the rossoblù team. However, after the second consecutive experiment with El Azzouzi as a free hitter against Udinese, this time unsuccessful, the rossoblù coach could also reconsider his moves.
However, Fabbian played his last match as a starter against Atalanta. The intent was to have a mobile player, able to help in both phases of the game and who was able to physically challenge the vigor of the Goddess. And against Torino, perhaps also for a question of superstition and not just tactics, Fabbian could get a new chance as a starter. Also and above all because Torino, just like Atalanta, plays very physical football with suffocating man-on-man pressing across the pitch: the perfect match context to transform Fabbian in the crazy variable of the match.
