Inter’s Christmas party ended with Steven Zhang in a cabaret version: “When you leave, please leave everyone 5 euros on the table – the Inter president joked – It will be money that Ausilio will need for the winter transfer market “. A joke, of course. But the Nerazzurri are always attentive to the transfer market, looking for those players whose contracts are about to expire who can turn into real market deals.
THURAM – Beppe Marotta has a nose for low cost, Marcus Thuram is at the top of the management list: the contract with Borussia Monchengladbach expires at the end of the season, Inter have had him in their sights for some time and are now evaluating whether to present an offer to the player’s entourage for which there is competition from Bayern Munich. Even Naples and Juve at the window.
SUMMER – From attack to goal, from Thuram to Sommer: another player expiring with Borussia Monchengladbach, with Inter are looking for a deputy Onana for next season because Handanovic is expected to leave at the end of the season. In recent days, Ausilio dribbled the question about the Swiss goalkeeper, but his name is on the list of zero parameters; in recent weeks Sommer has also been linked to Manchester United – De Gea’s contract is also about to expire – and Bayern Munich, looking for a goalkeeper after Neuer’s injury.
SMALL – While waiting to untie the knot linked to Milan Skriniar’s contract, Inter have set their sights on another player who could release them on a free transfer: first exploratory contacts for Chris Smalling, whose contract with Roma is about to expire and at the moment does not have an agreement for renewaland on which there is also the interest of Juventus. For defense there is also the name of Koffi Djidjihe too is expiring with Turin but at the moment it’s just an idea. Those five symbolic euros for the Inter market made everyone laugh, Marotta and Ausilio study – even – the zero parameters.
