The background revealed by Daniel Arnautovic on his brother’s move to Inter
The operation Inter–Arnautovic it all started from the Austrian player’s agent, who is also the brother, after the Bologna he had said no to Roma in late August.
Jose Mourinho wanted a striker, that is Arnautovic, but Bologna didn’t have time to find a replacement and had refused, so it was the Austrian striker’s agent who contacted Inter, grappling with the search for a center forward after the sensational turnaround of Romelu Lukaku. Daniel Arnautovic, Marko’s brother and agent, recounts it: “We had spoken to two Italian clubs, but not Inter – his words to Servus TV, reported by Tmw – Bologna had said no to Roma and it seemed that Marko should stay. But then I thought of Inter who needed a striker and I wrote to the sporting director (Ausilio, ed), but he didn’t answer. In the end he called and we clarified everything with Bologna who accepted the offer”.
