Marotta is grappling with the first real problem to face as president of Inter. If he doesn’t resolve the situation, he risks economic disaster.
It surprised all the fans a bit, considering that we are talking about a manager who is always very controlled and moderate in tone, the emotion with which Beppe Marotta welcomed his appointment as president of Inter.
A very strong choice, the one made by the American fund Oaktree which became the new owner of the club a few weeks ago, but which immediately heartened the Inter fans. There was a bit of anxiety in fact, after the change of ownership of the club became official, as the fear was that the club, after the great winning cycle carried out by the Zhang family, could undergo a strong downsizing.
Fortunately, this was not the case, and the choice to make Marotta the true reference with oaktree, and the consequent decision to elect him as president of the company, is the most tangible proof of how even the American fund want to continue the path undertaken.
Naturally, Inter’s transfer market will always and in any case be characterized by economic sustainability, and Marotta said this clearly in his speech after his appointment.
Inter’s summer transfer market
It will be this summer too necessary to sacrifice at least one of the starters in the squad, and at the moment the most probable departure seems to be that of Dumfrie, from which the Nerazzurri hope to earn a sum of around thirty million euros.
Furthermore, with the arrival of Taremi, it will also be necessary to thin out the offensive department, first of all to reduce a wage bill that is starting to become too high for those which are the club’s economic possibilities at the moment.
The real challenge for Marotta will be to sell Arnautovic and Correa
And this will probably be the real challenge on the transfer market that Marotta and Ausilio will have to face in the coming months and which could also have a major impact on the future of the club. Correa seems willing to leave, and is listening carefully the interest that comes for him from Türkiye from Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
For Arnautovic, however, the situation is much more complicated as, despite Fiorentina’s strong interest, the player has already publicly declared who has no intention of leaving Milan. It will therefore be up to Marotta and Ausilio to make him change his mind, also because his transfer also seems necessary to guarantee those “accounts in order” that the new Inter president spoke about.
