Who knows what position Verona would find themselves in if they had to give up their two jewels? Luckily for Paolo Zanetti, coach of the Gialloblù, the problem does not yet arise, even if, with Belghali involved in the Africa Cup of Nations, the moment is excellent to test and evaluate alternatives also in view of the future, when both the winger and the other jewel, Giovane, may no longer be part of the Hellas squad. Why? Simple answer: Inter has its eyes on both, and could soon pass the polling phase and begin the negotiation phase. With different timing and methods.

The most pressing issue, for Chivu and Inter as a whole, currently requires finding a replacement worthy of Dumfries. The Dutch winger will return in at least a couple of months and the team has thus found itself having to deal with the chasm that has opened up on the right: Luis Henrique, Denzel’s natural replacement, does not guarantee the same reliability as the former PSV Eindhoven player; Darmian has been at a standstill for some time; Carlos Augusto adapted on the opposite side compared to the natural role of left-handed winger does not perform as well as in the “home garden”. Thus it becomes inevitable to move something on the market, and one of the names evaluated by the company is precisely that of Rafik Belghali. The winger is involved in the Africa Cup of Nations with Algeria – not the ideal situation to find him in January – but he is among the names monitored most carefully by Inter for the summer transfer market. In January, Belghali would not be able to play for Inter as he has already played with two different teams: for him, in addition to Verona, three matches in Belgium with Mechelen.

Then there is the “summer question”: Giovane who is highly appreciated by Chivu. The Nerazzurri coach, after the trip to Bentegodi a few months ago, went to the Brazilian to compliment him on the great performance. An appreciation that is not excluded will also translate into the market, because Young in terms of characteristics represents precisely the offensive profile that Inter lacks. Ductile – he can play as a striker, second striker or winger -, young and futuristic. Exactly everything Oaktree is looking for on the market. And the trump card to reach a square could be… Valentin Carboni “of” Genoa.

The Argentine striker, loaned to the rossoblù last summer, did not perform as expected. He had started well, immediately scoring in the first round of the Italian Cup, but as the months went by he lost confidence and minutes. This is why Inter decided to end the loan to Genoa early and transfer Carboni elsewhere. Pisa, Parma, Sassuolo and… Verona. These are the most accredited hypotheses to date. But Inter would definitely have more interest in moving the Argentine to Veneto, in order to strengthen the channel with the yellow-blue club and lower Hellas’ demands for Belghali and Giovane.
