An interview with Biasin, part II:
- Let's go back to Paulo Dybala. The Argentine forward went to Roma after a long comeback with Inter. What do you think?
So, Dybala and Gleison Bremer are two completely different speeches. I don't think it was an Inter failure on Dybala at Roma, but an Inter choice after taking on Romelu Lukaku. Bremer is different, since it was a strategic goal for Inter. Very strong player who goes to a competitor in the Scudetto race. Also because Inter, however, had been looking for him for some time. And a defender was needed given the hole left by Andrea Ranocchia.
- Biasin, do you think Inter will be looking for a fifth striker?
As for the fifth striker, I think Inter are well covered in attack. He has a well proven offensive park with Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez, Edin Dzeko and Joaquin Correa. In my opinion they are very strong attackers and perfectly compatible with each other. Inter have to give up Alexis Sanchez and Andrea Pinamonti, but I don't think a fifth striker can reach the level or similar to the four mentioned.
- For example Andrea Belotti on a free transfer?
I do not believe. Beppe Marotta and Simone Inzaghi at the press conference were clear: we will try to reach a fifth young striker who can grow. Maybe a boy from the primavera. Having five top-level strikers would also be a problem in terms of management and playing time.
- Sanchez is scrambling to go. Do you think in the end an offer will come from another team or will it go away with a severance pay?
Sanchez has currently turned down all offers. Also important. Like that of Sevilla, but also in Turkey and other foreign markets. Sanchez takes an important salary: 7 million euros! A lot for the Nerazzurri speakers. He is legitimately putting his foot down, also because his contract is not expiring. And in his opinion he still considers himself a player for top European clubs.
- In this pre-season some doubts are arising about Robin Gosens. Biasin, what do you think of the German and the Nerazzurri lanes?
Inter are well covered in the flanks on both the right and left. On the right, the owner is Denzel Dumfries with Raoul Bellanova as a substitute and, if necessary, the good Danilo D'Ambrosio. On the left, the owner will be Gosens with Matteo Darmian as reserve and, if necessary, Federico Dimarco. So I don't see these problems. Gosens has to wait because he had physical problems last year. But Inter made an important investment in him in January and therefore he will be the owner. I disagree with these hasty judgments based on summer friendlies.
- Let's close the interview with the usual hot potato: do you see a favorite team for the Scudetto?
Favorite at the start? I see the two Milanese, Inter and Milan. Together with Juventus, which is doing an excellent transfer market. Compared to the last few years, the bianconeri are working in a different way and with greater organization. Then there is, as always, Milan. Stefano Pioli's team should not be underestimated. He hasn't sold anyone (but he lost Franck Kessié on a free transfer, ed) and, on the contrary, he is trying to strengthen himself on the market. I immediately say Inter, Milan and Juventus. And then behind Rome. To understand what Napoli will do on the market, because important men like Kalidou Koulibaly, Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens have left.
