Inter got their hands on it Josep Martinez, Spanish goalkeeper born in 1998 for Genoa. The deal is not yet completed, the final square must be found on the evaluation and compensation to be included in the operation, but the two clubs have now embarked on a path that should lead within a fortnight to defining the transfer of the player who will join Sommer in the next season, with the prospect of becoming the Nerazzurri’s starter in the ’25-26 season.
Inter have closed on Martinez in the last 48 hours with a meeting at their headquarters on Wednesday and new contacts yesterday. Genoa starts from a request of 18 million for the goalkeeper expiring in 2025 (even if the rossoblù have an option to extend until 2026), Inter has already gone for around 15, 13 basic plus 2 bonus . To lower the initial financial outlay, the Nerazzurri proposed a list of young players to the Rossoblu from whom they could draw a welcome return. The choice should fall on Gaetano Oristanioan offensive wildcard returning from a season on loan at Cagliari where he made 25 appearances with 2 goals.
The Sardinians announced yesterday that they did not want to buy him out for 4 million (Inter still had a counter-buyout to make him theirs again) and therefore the Under 21 international is ready to be transferred to Genoa, even if the two clubs will have to reach an agreement on the economic evaluation of the player from Campania. Furthermore, it remains to be understood whether Inter, as happened twelve months ago with Bologna for Fabbian, will introduce a recompra to maintain some sort of control over Oristanio, or will let him go. Inevitably Martinez leads to Gudmundsson, valued at 35-40 million by Genoa. The operation for the goalkeeper could serve to open a preferential channel with the rossoblù in view of a more complex negotiation for the Icelandic playmaker, Inter’s first objective to strengthen the attack
