According to a report by Internazionale reporter Vincenzo D’Angelo of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter President Zhang Kangyang asked the team last summer to sell people to raise 60 million euros. At present, the player most likely to be sacrificed is Dunfries. In addition, Lautaro’s future is also at risk.
Inter president Zhang Kangyang reiterated his commitment to Internazionale at the Christmas dinner, hoping to lead the team forward at the competitive level and retain control of the club. (see related readings for details)
However, the financial plight of Inter Milan is still a problem that cannot be ignored. Zhang Kangyang is unable to inject a lot of money into the team, and the club must be responsible for its own profits and losses. This guideline began two years ago. In order to improve the financial problem, Inter Milan need to gradually reduce their total salary every year and sacrifice some key players if necessary, which is why the transfer theme of Inter every summer is to sell people.
But selling players does not mean reducing competitiveness. Naples this year is a case in point. After losing pillar players such as Koulibaly, Insinne and Fabian, the team skyrocketed through cost-effective signings. This is what Inter need to learn.
Due to the failure of the sale of Shikrinia last summer, Inter’s task of cashing out 60 million euros of players has been postponed until June 30 this year, in order to reduce the reported losses, and the player most likely to be sacrificed is Dunfries. Chelsea are still very interested in him.
However, even if Dunfries is sold, Inter’s financial problems will not be solved once and for all, as next summer will enter a new fiscal year and the club will face the same pressure. At that time, players such as Varela, Brozovic, Charhan Oulu, Lautaro and Shkrinia will be linked to the transfer market.
In particular, Lautaro, the new world champion’s first contract with Inter, contained a termination clause of 111 million euros, which was deleted after the contract was renewed, but Inter will have to consider the possibility of sacrificing Lautaro if they receive an offer of nearly 100m euros.
Of course, Inter will also strengthen the squad while selling people. Munchen striker Little Thuram is at the top of the list. The French international can play in many positions up front, and his contract is about to expire, which means Inter can bring him in at no cost. In addition, young Valencia midfielder Amr Moussa, Atalanta centre-back Scalvini and other young players are potential targets for Inter.
