INTER AND THE PYRAMID OF DREAMS
From Chiesa to Verdi: all options for the right wing position.
Inter sporting director Ausilio is also keeping an eye on the situation of Politano and Berardi.
Watch out also for the young star in Kluivert who is liked by many big clubs.
Inter are on the hunt for a talented right winger that can make the difference up front together with Icardi and Perisic. Some important names are underlined neatly on the list of Ausilio and Spalletti. The most sought-after player is certainly Federico Chiesa but Matteo Politano and Simone Verdi deserve as much attention. Justin Kluivert, the son of Patrick, is also in contention. Obviously, there is huge crowd surrounding these talents in Italy as well as abroad. And also precisely for this reason, the prices of reach of them are high and rising. And Inter are ready to scale this virtual pyramid based on the transversal opportunities that will be created.
Viola talent- Let’s start with the situation of Chiesa. Della Valle keeps the player tightly, Fiorentina consider him a focal point for next season, especially now that Mancini has promoted him to the national team. In the case of Inter, the goal of Chiesa is possible only if there are attractive offers for Candreva. Let’s not forget the budget parameters because Fiorentina are going to ask 60 million for the player, but may drop to around 50. Napoli have made an inquiry same with Milan as the Rossoneri have taken information in case of huge sales. Inter have a small advantage of being able to count on the liking of the player’s representatives, the result of sowing done on time. And successfully.
Verdi track - While everyone kind of has a wait and see approach, Piero Ausilio continues to make moves on all fronts. First of all, contacts with Verdi are now resumed. The player, in January preferred to stay with Bologna despite the pressing of Napoli. In the meantime, Verdi has also come under the attention of Roma as the Giallorossi are scanning the horizon in view of the possible departures of El Shaarawy and (or) Perotti but no offer is made… yet. One fact is certain: Napoli wanted Verdi in the winter window and had an agreement with Bologna on the basis of 24 million. It is easy to think that the figure is now a bit higher. Inter management is also moving on this front, knowing that the timing is not ripe to make an agreement with any of these clubs.
Bomber - Matteo Politano is climbing the ladder, becoming one of the most liked players in this category. Not only because of having another good season, but also for that goal at the San Siro which made the Spalletti’s men tremble in the second to last matchday chasing for a Champions League spot. He was very close to join Napoli in January (offer was 28 million) but negotiations were dragging on way too long and did not come to fruition on the last day of the window. Napoli have not given up totally although Squinzi, Sassuolo president, has made it clear that his value has risen significantly in the meantime. Inter are ready to enter, relying on the visa obtained for participation in the Champions League. From a technical point of view, Politano is required to seriously consider the advances of Zhang’s club.
Alternative Emiliana - In Sassuolo, Domenico Berardi closed the season in style although for the most part, it was a season full of ups and downs for the player. In the past, the Calabrian was a step away from Inter which now will continue to follow with great caution. His former coach Eusebio Di Francesco, now at Roma, is still flirting with him. The possible landing of Berardi at Roma will implicitly free Inter to go after Verdi or Politano. In the past years, Squinzi was very firm on declaring that his stars players to be not for sale but at Sassuolo, it seems that the time has come for significant changes on the technical front.
The Dutch - In this long list of candidates, Justin Kluivert has the attention of half of Europe not only because of his talent but he has an expiring contract in just one year with Ajax. His agent Mino Raiola is looking at many offers, especially in the Premier League. In Italy, however, Roma have taken the biggest steps without obtaining concrete results for now. This is why Inter still have some room to include itself in the mix.
