The Nerazzurri don’t have extra budget for acquisitions this winter, but there is a glimmer of hope in the market: here are some ‘Nerazzurri’ names on the table.
All knots are coming undone. The attack assembled by the Inter management in the summer isn’t providing the necessary guarantees, but we are not talking about starting pair, Lautaro and Thuram.
With Arnautovic sidelined and Sanchez the only left option, who is not delivering at the moment, Inter might need to take action ahead of the January transfer window.
As highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter doesn’t have an extra budget for acquisitions, but there is a glimmer of hope in the market.
Beyond the statements of the coach and the management, it is inevitable to think that Inter will take remedial measures ahead of the January window. However, it’s challenging to imagine what solution Marotta, Ausilio, and Baccin might find.
In January, they certainly won’t have an extra budget for purchases. They will need to make a sale to bring in a new player. Unless an offer comes from Arabia, it seems unlikely that either Arnautovic or Sanchez will leave Pinetina.
At this moment, the market is suggesting Mehdi Taremi as a possible reinforcement. The player was very near joining AC Milan this summer, but the transfer fell through in the last day of the ‘mercato’.
He is a starter at Porto but has only one year left on his contract. Will Porto decide to monetize his departure in January rather than lose him for free?
But Marotta has something else in mind as well, the player being closely followed and whom Inter would strongly pursue if they had the financial resources is Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord, who has had a superb start to the season.
The Inter executives know him well, but the Dutch club’s asking price makes the negotiation challenging. Krstovic from Lecce is also being monitored, but it’s difficult to imagine Corvino letting him go in January.
This is why in the next two to three months, Inter will have to wait and assess the potential surplus of attackers in the top European clubs to potentially make reinforcements in a department that currently lacks reliable alternatives to Thu-La.”
