Inter wasted too much time in closing the renewal of Lautaro and forgot about three defenders, now they can start as free agents
Inter was forced to take time to resolve the corporate issues that led to the change of ownership with the new American fund Oaktree and the appointment of Beppe Marotta, the Nerazzurri sporting director who now has to solve some problems of no small importance in order to then be able to plan the future with greater confidence.
They hold sway but are about to be defined i renewals of mister Simone Inzaghiwho will have an even greater say in the market, of captain Lautaro Martinez, who will still partner in attack with Thuram, and of a fundamental midfielder like Barella.
But they’re not the only ones who have the contract expiring in 2025. The extensions of De Vrij, Dumfries and Francesco Acerbi must be agreed, with none of the three certain of staying at the Nerazzurri.
Three defenders who could be sold in this summer transfer session in order to be able to capitalize on the sale again avoid losing them to zero at the end of next season, a fact that Marotta wants to avoid at all costs.
Inter’s defense was among the most solid in Europe, Buongiorno is needed to secure it
Meanwhile, the management is thinking about possible replacements. Two players with experience and defensive solidity like De Vrij and Acerbi they need equally rocky profiles in order not to lose compactness in one of the least traveled backfields in Europe in the past championship.
I like it alot Alexander Good morningwho has matured a lot in recent months, so much so that he started with the Italian national team at the European Championships being held in Germany and is ready for consecration in a top club.
The names on Marotta’s notebook to strengthen Inter’s defense are Italian
The Torino captain will not be sold easily by the granata boss Urbano Cairo but technical counterparts cannot be ruled out to be included in the negotiations and amortize the investment which, otherwise, would be at least 40 million euros.
In place of Dumfries, in the sights of some Premier League teams, they are instead looking for a winger who is able to do both the covering and pushing phases on the flank, like Giovanni Di Lorenzoon which Juventus moved in advance, currently favored to sign the current Napoli captain but at a break with the Neapolitans.
