After two years, Edin Dzeko’s experience with the Inter Milan shirt is coming to an end. There is Turkey in his future, specifically Fenerbahce, ready to welcome a striker who has proven to be one of the pillars of Simone Inzaghi’s lineup.
Arriving between the fears of a certainly not young age and after six years of great level spent at Roma, the Bosnian has been able to impose himself with great performances and especially goals. That’s 31 in 101 appearances, always in double digits between league and cups (14 goals this year, 17 last), always with over 30 Serie A appearances and nearly 50 games per season. And given the cost of his card (1.5 million) each goal was worth 45,000 euros in spending. Nothing if you think about today’s soccer market figures. And for an Edin Dzeko who says goodbye there are other pawns on the list of departures, with one big goal: to freshen up the squad without affecting competitiveness.
Brozovic and D’Ambrosio also ready to say goodbye
Lowering the average age is the mantra repeated in the quarters of Appiano Gentile, but without lowering the dreams of glory. There is to resume the climb in the championship, improving on this year’s third place and going after the ‘Tricolore’ again. There is to repeat the triumphant ride in the Champions League, which went beyond all odds all the way to the final, where Inter had to stop in the presence of Guardiola’s Manchester City. The odds for the Champions League 2023-2024 see the Nerazzurri at 34.00, while there are Bayern Munich at 7.00, Real Madrid at 9.00, and Barcelona at 11.00. The favourites, in short, are others. But they were this year as well.
To overturn the prediction there will be the field and there will be, above all, the transfer market. Brozovic is getting closer to Arabia, Al Nassr side, and D’Ambrosio is also expected to say goodbye. A restyling operation that should bring to the Nerazzurri jersey new recruits, young but at the same time talented players. The first name at the top of the Inzaghi’s desires and also of the fans is that of Davide Frattesi, Sassuolo’s all-around midfielder who is increasingly imposing himself also in the national team. A real auction is underway on him with Juventus, Milan, Napoli and Roma interested in the player, who has reportedly already given his word to Inter, however. A deal of more than 30 million euros for a prospect of sure future.
But the calciomercato doesn’t stop here. Watch out also for moves between the goalkeepers, as Vicario’s name is increasingly recurring for Inter’s goal, a team that is increasingly devoted to youth, to under-the-radar profiles but nevertheless of great quality. It is from these that they will try to start again next year. The hunt is the big one: the Scudetto and the cup with the big ears.
