Soon a discussion between the managers. The feeling of the winger with the other blues of Chivu, who gave the ok
In Coverciano, not the happiest place on Earth in these days preceding the World Cup, there were two Gen Z boys with the big smile of those who have just made a date for the summer party: Pio and Marco, today together in the national team, tomorrow who knows also teammates at Inter. Pio Esposito was born three months after Marco Palestra, unlike his peer he has not yet reached 21 (birthday on 28 June), but he is playing the role of an experienced advisor: he who first touched the national team and who, above all, first pitched his tent in Appiano, was able to talk about how well things are in the championship-winning Inter. Everyone knows that Chivu wants, or rather craves, the winger born in 2005, but that the other Inter internationals also want him with equal intensity is less known. Esposito jr is only the latest to show a growing feeling with his colleague, who has just returned to Atalanta after a roaring year at Cagliari.
In the Appiano locker room, the welcoming committee for Palestra has been ready to set up for some time: in fact, there is a common feeling among the other Azzurri too, one could feel it a few weeks ago when Coverciano was also inhabited by Bastoni, Barella and Dimarco before the playoff. But it is not this public relations activity behind the scenes that gives the Nerazzurri confidence, rather the new posture of the Goddess. This time there is no closure of Atalanta to the negotiations with Inter, a club considered a friend. In short, the one in Bergamo may be a very expensive atelier with strict rules on the transfer market, but one year after the Lookman case there will be no barricade in front of Inter.

It doesn’t mean that discounts will be given, but it can be discussed according to the law of supply and demand, also because the Goddess considers Palestra the precious piece to sell, like every summer. The topic will soon be explored in depth in a first meeting between managers: hence the Inter sports area, which has been working like an anvil for years with the supervision of president Marotta and sporting director Ausilio on the front line; beyond, the brand new Atalanta structure, just installed around sporting director Giuntoli. However, the Bergamo team’s round no to Davide Frattesi has already arrived in Milan: the midfielder, who Sarri also likes, will not be the pawn to lower a price, which hasn’t even been set yet. In any case, the valuation of the rampant lateral is already dancing between 40 and 50 million, a figure that these days would orient an entire transfer campaign from the start. Inter are, however, aware that they will need a more robust check than those issued in recent seasons and Oaktree has now opened up to the idea of immediately firing a single big cannon shot. For example, last year both Luis Henrique and Diouf were purchased, spending 25 million for each: now, however, a figure close to the sum could be directed towards just one player. The highest objective, at least at the moment, is Palestra, per Chivu’s specific request: it is on the blue that the budget can be diverted, even more so given the uncertainty on Dumfries’ exit clause, of 25 million until mid-July, and the possibility of raising cash also with the sale of another winger like LH. In Appiano, then, Palestra would not only find a coach, but also enthusiastic compatriots. They are the same ones who made interested jokes to him after the last Inter-Cagliari match: in this era the transfer market missions also involve these details.
