The farewell of Alejandro Gomez it now seems written. Today’s interview certainly did not put out the fire that burns under the ashes, also because Antonio Percassi he decided not to expose himself after a month of controversy, hoped-for turnarounds, requests for assignments and scuffles in the locker room, siding openly with the coach. One thing that Gomez had already fully understood a couple of weeks ago, with the release on social networks that had caused a great stir before the match against Juventus, a three-way meeting where big words had flown.
THE PAPU DOES NOT CHANGE ITS IDEA – How is it possible that everything has changed in a month? Gomez was the first to make a mistake, refusing to move to the right, Gasperini put fuel on the fire in the locker room and Papu himself then replied, demanding an apology that never came from the coach. A matter of principle. Two weeks ago, before the failed call against Roma, the management was convinced to recover the relationship. The problem, net of the apologies, was also contractual: after Al Nassr there was a promise to renew until 2024, which then did not happen.
AGE, SALARY AND INTER – Gomez will soon turn 33, reaching 2024 would be an operation up to 36 and with a much higher wage than everyone else. No one is over 2 million, the Argentine yes. This is why anticipating a revolution is not such a problem. Atalanta loses the best player in recent years, but also the heaviest salary, closes a capital gain and will still ask for a donation from whoever arrives. Inter have reached an agreement with Papu (until 2023, € 2.5 million plus bonus, option for another season) but not with Atalanta. The Bergamo players ask for the defender Lorenzo Pirola (18, on loan at Monza), the answer was spades, Inter proposes Gaetano Oristanio (18) which, however, cannot be exchanged with the Papu. Relations with Suning are excellent, the impression is that Gomez will eventually move not by much, except for sensational surprises.
