Marotta: “Barella is a complete footballer, he can also play as Calhanoglu. Lautaro’s renewal is done. On Inzaghi…”|Primapagina

Among the guests of the national team on the eve of the European Championship debut against Albania and also present in the stands of Signal Iduna Park to watch the first match of Luciano Spalletti’s men, there was also the new president of Inter Beppe Marotta. Who today, from the Iserlhon headquarters and precisely from Casa Azzurri, released some important statements.

Marotta couldn’t help but start from the great performance offered last night by Nicolò Barellawho also scored the final 2-1 goal: “He is a player who has the humility of a wingman but also has talent. As a player he is modern and complete. Can he play in Calhanoglu’s role? Yes, he has all the qualities of vision, support and throwingtoday he is a very valid player from a competitive point of view, a strong basic technician, he is an eclectic player.”
THE FIGURES OF THE BARELLA RENEWAL

Barella, together with Darmian, Bastoni, Dimarco and Frattesi, represented Inter in this winning debut for Italy at Euro 2024. And it should not be forgotten that Acerbi, forced to withdraw due to the groin pain that led him to the operation in recent weeks, would certainly have been part of this group. “Italy is the heritage that must unite all clubs, the fact that there is this hard core of Inter fans becomes an Inter-National team, fills us with pride for all the work done and for the growth the boys have had. The compliments? I did them to everyone, we are very proud that Inter can make their contribution”, declared Marotta from Germany.
LAUTARO, THIS IS WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL COME

The topic then moved on to Inter’s internal transfer market events and in particular to the topic of contract renewals. After that of Barella – who in recent days made his extension official until 2029 – it will soon be the turn of the others on the agenda: “We pay attention to everything, the important thing is that each player has a strong sense of belongingwho wants to continue the experience with us, we have a calm situation, we don’t have players who are releasing themselves immediately. Lautaro’s renewal is virtually done, it’s a matter of collecting his signatureit’s not easy because it’s in Argentina, but it’s already done.”
AT WHAT POINT IS THE RENEWAL OF INZAGHI

The last joke is for the Italian champion coach at the helm of Inter, Simone Inzaghi, who still hasn’t reached a definitive agreement with the club after the second meeting between his agent Tullio Tinti and the Nerazzurri management: “What if its renewal is also coming? Yes, yes”replied Beppe Marotta.
