The acceleration, braking and restart to get to the finish line. The negotiation that must lead could be summarized this way Josep Martinez in Nerazzurri. The Genoa goalkeeper would arrive as assistant Summer (fresh from qualifying for the Euro 2024 round of 16) but is still destined to play a leading role given the many Nerazzurri commitments in the 2024-2025 season. Inzaghi it was clear: the squad must be up to par and nothing can be left to chance. The Nerazzurri’s strength in the Scudetto season was the defensive phase, with Sommer an absolute protagonist in the crucial moments of the season. The Swiss goalkeeper is getting on in age and it is essential for Inter to have a young player with great personality on the launch pad.
Martinez responds to this identikit and for the move to Inter a few more details need to be ironed out. In recent weeks there has been a lot of talk about the Nerazzurri offer divided between a cash part and a technical counterpart but the negotiations have veered in another direction. As he writes Sky Sports, in the deal there will no longer be the inclusion of a technical counterpart: therefore, the name of Oristaniowho was the chosen one of Alberto Gilardinor, he will no longer be part of the discussions between the two clubs. If the fateful agreement were to arrive, everything will end with an economic offer from Inter to Genoa: the goalkeeper’s valuation is around 15 million euros. Inter have offered 13+2 and hope to close within this week.
Arriving in 2022, Martinez earned ownership in the Genoa shirt one step at a time before collecting 36 games and 8 clean sheets in Serie A. In total, with the Genoa shirt, Martinez boasts 68 games, with as many goals conceded and 25 clean sheets. These numbers and the charisma on the field convinced the Nerazzurri club to invest in the Spanish goalkeeper. Bento, courted for several months, costs too much and Martinez is a market opportunity that Marotta and the Nerazzurri management don’t want to miss it. Now the negotiation is taking another step but everything points to a happy marriage in the space of a few days.
