Samir Handanovic is still a reliable goalkeeper, but the role he plays is delicate and Inter are called to intervene before the emergency becomes acute. The performances of the Slovenian goalkeeper are slowly settling at normal levels, symptoms that the club cannot ignore, because they are inexorably linked to an identity card that pushes Handanovic more towards retirement than towards technical maturity. Born in 1984, Samir Handanovic is 36 years old, they know it in Viale della Liberazione: it’s time to look to the future and also in the environment there is a certain coldness towards the goalkeeper, who has often decided negatively in important matches.
DESTINY THAT REPEATS – After nine years in defense of Inter’s goal, Handanovic could thus be relegated to a different role, perhaps from second, from shoulder to whoever arrives to trace a new path. Ausilio and Marotta have identified in Juan Musso the possible successor of the Slovenian, twist of fate, nine years later, the Nerazzurri could draw the new goalkeeper once again from Friuli, just as it happened for Samir Handanovic, who at the same age as Musso (26 years), he came to Inter for 11 million euro plus half of the Pharaohs price tag. The evaluation that Udinese today attributes to the Argentine goalkeeper, valued at around 30 million euros, is quite different. An important figure, which forces Inter to reflect. Finances are not smiling, Covid has brought the economy to its knees and also for this reason Inter has not yet invested in a goalkeeper, despite the fact that for some time in Viale della Liberazione they have understood that the section of Handanovic’s parable is in a decreasing phase.
WHAT A TALENT – in the meantime there is another goalkeeper who has favorably surprised the Inter observers, it is Anatolij Trubin, Ukrainian goalkeeper of Shakhtar, who faced Inter in the Champions League. The nineteen year old showed a future crack sample, so much so that many experts have already expressed themselves favorably on the bright future of this two-meter tall boy who is also gifted with remarkable agility. Trubin is a name that Inter like, but the favorite for goal remains Musso. It remains to be seen whether the Nerazzurri will be able to satisfy Udinese’s economic demands.–
