The road from Genoa to Milan, years ago, brought a couple of pretty good players to Inter. In fact, there were Diego Milito and Thiago Motta in the photos in the front row of the 2010 European champions, the last Italian triumph in the Champions League in the year of the hat-trick which also included the Scudetto and the Italian Cup. From the same city, the Nerazzurri could embrace two other elements who are among the names at the top of the preferences for the roles of goalkeeper and attacker. Josep Martinez (in the photo) is increasingly becoming the most plausible solution to support Sommer. Inter arrived first of all on Bento, but the Copa America around the corner doesn’t help: Athletico Paranaense awaits the tournament to trigger the auction and the boy (who will almost certainly move to Europe) has opened up to other solutions in the Old World. In recent days the name of Okoye has cropped up, and he has done well for Udinese. According to some rumors from Viale della Liberazione, a survey for Lunin was also started, which ended in nothing: the boy will renew his contract with Real Madrid with the idea of becoming Courtois’ heir, in whose place he has already played for almost all the season just ended. An internal solution cannot be ruled out either, if the demands of the other clubs are too high and if Filip Stankovic (who would like Serie A after a good year in Serie B at Sampdoria) were to repeat last summer’s good pre-season.
In attack, however, Inzaghi (who should sign a new contract until 2027 next week after sorting out the final details on bonuses) has asked Gudmundsson for a player. Indeed, if he could, he would take the Icelandic one, which has a high cost and many competitors on its tail, due to which it could take up to 35-40 million, but with the opening of the Ligurians to Frattesi-style formulas (loan with obligation of redemption “disguised “ in 2025). The operation is feasible, however, only in the event that Correa, for whom there has been contact with Galatasaray, and Arnautovic, who Fiorentina is thinking about, were to leave. In fact, there are no free places on the UEFA list, except for players trained in the academy. Pinamonti is not willing to be the fourth or fifth striker, if no welcome offers for Sebastiano Esposito arrive by the end of August, keep an eye on the Campania striker and also on Bonazzoli, who has returned to Salernitana after his loan to Verona (difficult to remain in Serie B).
Also noteworthy yesterday were the words of Alessandro Antonello: “The new stadium? We are reflecting on Rozzano and San Siro, we will understand the possibilities at the end of June. The revenues generated by the new facilities are fundamental”.
