Inter is about to be born. Actually no, Inter was already born. Because Taremi and Zielinski have already been taken and no one is touching them: the team that dominated the championship and that today goes to get the last dose of applause in Verona, is also the team that before the others placed the shots for the future. The rest is to be built. And this is the week in which the managers will speak with Simone Inzaghi to plan the transfer market. But some roads are already mapped out. Others will need to be confirmed. Still others will be explored. Bento belongs to the first category. In second place is Gudmundsson, who has many admirers but who the Nerazzurri have never removed from their agenda. And then there is the opportunity, which he answers to the name of Pinamonti.
PRIORITY
—
Bento is a pre-set affair. It is not closed, but Inter already have the goalkeeper’s yes in their pocket and must reach an agreement with Atletico Paranaense. Diplomatic work is ongoing, because the initial request of 20 million was considered too high by the Nerazzurri club. The talks continue. And it is not the temporary blocking of extraordinary activity that stops the work of DS Ausilio. Many like Bento, he has also received praise from the Premier League, the now fixed call-up by the Seleçao does nothing but confirm his value. For the Nerazzurri managers it is a priority and they want to find a way to close the deal, even with a change at the helm. It is not yet known with certainty what the market guidelines will be. The Nerazzurri managers are right to think that the modus operandi will not be upset, but in this sense certainties will only arrive this week. Inter want to invest in the role of the goalkeeper, to already prepare the ground for the post-Sommer period.
STILL GUD
—
We are at the attacking chapter. Sanchez is saying goodbye, the puzzle is linked to Arnautovic: the Austrian has been explored by a couple of clubs in the Saudi League, his farewell would open up space for the arrival of a top-tier striker. And so, in that case, the spotlight is on Gudmundsson, everyone’s favorite in Appiano. The Icelandic wants to stay in Serie A, it is a championship in which he excelled and it is here that he wants to continue to grow. Inter were never able to get the ball rolling. And a lot will also depend on the chapter released. Who brings the money? Dumfries, first and foremost, for which the showcase of the European Championships could also be important. And then Valentin Carboni, who has now joined the Argentine national team: Inter values him at 30 million, whoever reaches that figure first takes him away and gives fresh money to Inter’s coffers.
THE IDEA
—
But for the attack there is also another track to take into consideration. The name is an old acquaintance: Pinamonti. He won’t stay at Sassuolo in Serie B, it’s clear. And for Inter he would have added value: having grown up in the youth sector, for him – unlike others – there would be no problems linked to the UEFA list. It is a living path, an idea to be verified later and also linked to the conditions of the deal, which for the Nerazzurri would only be viable on loan. Certainly, Inzaghi will ask to expand the player base, in view of a year that could potentially reach up to 69 matches to be played. Inter doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned for next season. And the coach no longer wants to find himself in the position of having to squeeze out some protagonists. Taremi and Zielinski were caught for this. And Oaktree has already said it wants to continue the successes. Now the facts matter.
