Dybala, Inter always lurking: the feeling with Paulo remains strong

Marotta cannot sink the blow: first two exits. Nerazzurri ready to return to the Argentine if the other attacks fail

The Roman acceleration, the subtle Neapolitan courtship, all the competition that moves with a completely different decision towards Paulo Dybala: it is a new climate that, however, has not changed Inter’s position on the Argentine jewel. Waiting, cautious, hopeful despite everything. A challenge to fate, but reasoned. The CEO Beppe Marotta, Joya’s mentor, the man who tried to reunite with his protégé from the beginning of the market, is currently not in a position to sink the blow and enlist Paulo: he reiterated it once again three days ago, when they were reactivated communications between the player’s clan complex and the Nerazzurri management. And of course, once the news was heard, the Argentine’s mood was not the best. For Paulo, Inter was almost a certainty for a long time: before Lukaku’s landing he felt the Nerazzurri on him and he himself imagined that he was Lautaro’s twin. Then, after the Belgian hurricane arrived in Appiano and the Inter market hierarchy changed, Inter for Dybala faded a little at a time. It has become a desire, however the favorite club to revive ambitions and career. To the point that that contract that his attorney Jorge Antun had rejected just a month ago (5 million plus a bonus linked to the achievement of half of the presences) today would also suit him. Things, however, have taken an unpredictable turn at the time and today the Nerazzurri are forced to watch Paulo approach dangerously towards other clubs. Despite the Inter sentiment is still prevalent, Paulo has in fact decided to push to soon find a club to train with and plan for the future. And never mind if he is of a lower lineage than the Nerazzurri. This haste of him, legitimate, does not go well, however, with the timing of Inter on the outgoing market. To make room for Joya, two departures are needed up front. First of all Alexis Sanchez who negotiates for severance pay and refuses destinations on destinations: despite everything, the farewell of the Chilean is the least difficult to achieve, to the point that it could be unlocked as early as this week. On the other hand, it is more complex to accompany a Joaquin Correa or Edin Dzeko, the pair of strikers purchased last season, to the door. In both cases there is the firm will to stay with Simone Inzaghi and the absence of credible offers.

HOPE

In short, the next few days will also be enlightening for the Nerazzurri. They will help to understand if Paulo will become a missed Interista and will therefore succumb to rival enticements. If the agents and Roma’s proposal will convince him, or if he will resist that thin thread that still binds him to the Nerazzurri: if he has ever broken up until now it is thanks to diplomacy and the strength of certain sacred relationships. First of all, the one that binds Joya to Marotta, godfather and not only great chamberlain of the negotiation, but also the one that brings him closer to Javier Zanetti, who has been an excellent Argentine messenger in recent days. Certainly, the CEO it does not come out (and cannot go out for economic and numerical reasons) blatantly in the open and must remain in its position of tacit waiting. It would seem a bet on the fact that the former Juve talent could remain stuck in the folds of new negotiations, which are far from easy. And maybe in a couple of weeks the caps will be really blown. In the short term, no twists would be planned but, given the protagonists on stage, a rabbit can always come out of the hat. It is not impossible to think that, given the unrepeatable opportunity to take Paulo to zero and given the growth of competition, the general position of Inter could suddenly swerve a bit: if Dybala were added after the single exit of Sanchez, it would be also easier to find buyers for Dzeko or Correa.
