Inter Milan is in desperate need of funds.
The time has entered August, and it is getting closer and closer to the start of Serie A.
Several consecutive warm-up games have proved that Inter Milan still has some problems. The public opinion community expects Inter Milan to gain something in the August market, such as Zhongwei or Feiyi.
Wishes are good. But “Gazzetta dello Sport” introduced: Inter Milan held a transfer meeting internally. The theme of discussion was not to continue to strengthen and invest in signings, but how to complete the task of returning 60 million funds by selling people.
In the past two seasons, Inter Milan’s deficit has reached 350 million euros. Huge debt will generate high interest, and under the current situation, the back-end capital cannot inject capital. Therefore, if the financial problems are ignored, the risk will be very large-even if Inter Milan’s current cash reserves seem to be able to cover for a while, but if the summer If the funds are not returned, the team will be unable to deal with any accident in the new season.
As we all know, Inter Milan’s current financial crisis has completely broken out because the team’s finances “seem to be able to support” in the 2020-21 season. However, under the impact of the sudden epidemic, the team had no reserves to settle the matter, and it was once in arrears. Salary, utility bills, and forced to borrow usury loans to get by.
Lessons from the past, Inter Milan certainly will not forget.
At present, there are not many ways for Inter to find money. It is almost the only way to sell players at a high price and then use a small part of the proceeds for re-signing. So the board will never allow the team to miss this transfer window, it’s one thing to do it or not to do it is another.
This summer window, in June, Inter Milan signed new aid consecutively. However, after entering July, although the managers are still working very seriously, due to the upgrade of the level of the board card budget, Inter Milan has not made any moves in the football market.
At the beginning of August, Inter Milan held such a summit again, and once again conveyed instructions to managers such as Marotta and Ausilio: The focus of Inter Milan’s consideration in August is not how to improve the lineup, but how to return funds to ensure the financial security of the team. . In other words, the problem in August is not how to sign in new players to better improve the lineup, but how to minimize the weakening of combat power while selling people to raise more money.
“Gazzetta dello Sport” pointed out that there are two plans for Inter selling people.
One is to sell an ace star.
Since the beginning of the summer, Skriniar has been deeply involved in transfer rumors.
Now that the season is about to start, the warm-up game shows that the back line is the biggest hidden danger of Inter Milan, and it is impossible for Inter Milan to introduce a high-level replacement like Bremer. Considering the sale of Shik at this time will definitely weaken it greatly. Team strength.
But even so, Marotta and others still could not rule out the possibility of Shik leaving the team when they were interviewed publicly.
When the North Stand went to the Inter Milan headquarters and asked the managers to give a promise, the managers still couldn’t give it.
This in itself reflects the boss’s attitude: financial security is more important than competitive power.
The current situation is that while the chances of Inter selling Skriniar are declining, the odds are by no means zero.
The other is to sell a few slightly smaller stars.
One Pinamonti is clearly not enough. The names pointed out by Gazzetta dello Sport are Dumfries, De Vrij and others.
In fact, Chelsea have made an offer to Dumfries. Biassin introduced: “As far as I know, Chelsea did make an offer to Dumfries a few days ago, but it was rejected by Inter Milan. It is not clear whether Chelsea will raise the price, at least for now, the two sides are not talking.”
Not only Chelsea but also other teams in the Premier League are interested in Dumfries, and agent Enzo Raiola is looking for it.
The background of the continuous fermentation of Dumfries’ rumors is that Inter Milan is in desperate need of funds.
When someone leaves, Inter Milan naturally wants to sign up to replace it.
The Italian media listed some possible candidates, and in addition to those who had been mentioned earlier – such as Milenkovic, Demiral, Udoji, Singh, new names surfaced .
Like Real Madrid winger Alvaro Odriozola. This player has been loaned to Bayern and Fiorentina before. Last season, he played 25 times in the league (18 starts) and contributed 1 goal and 1 assist. He is a technical, ball-handling right-hander with average defensive ability. The Purple Lily has not bought him out, and the player is looking for a new home. BestofYou, where his agent Oscar Libert works, has a good relationship with Inter Milan manager Ausilio. Despite the mediocre evaluation of the player in the industry, the advantage is the low price.
In short, because the daily work of the Inter managers is relatively solid, the Nerazzurri do not need to worry about the problem of not being able to sign a replacement after selling someone. However, whether the level of low-priced substitutes can replace the “predecessor” is another matter.
The Italian media emphasized that before the start of the season, little Inzaghi’s wish was not to sell at the main level, because even if new aid was introduced, there would be problems of running-in. “Switching players on the spot” is bound to have a bad impact on the results.
But how much influence will the coach’s ideas have on the decision-making level? question mark. It’s like the rioting of fans has limited influence on decision-making.
In short, Inter Milan will make some efforts in August to complete the task of returning 60M set by the boss as much as possible. In theory, the team can delay the task until May-June next year, but since the summit has been held, it means that the boss hopes to have this summer. progress.
Might as well do some mental preparation. August for the Nerazzurri may not always be a happy one
