Inter market, 5 signings for Chivu: from Solet to Palestra

An experienced goalkeeper after Sommer’s departure, a couple of defenders following those of Acerbi and De Vrij, a new midfielder and the young, Italian and flexible winger capable of making an impact. The shopping list on the Inter market is clear, at the moment it does not include offensive profiles, but then who knows: a profile capable of jumping man and splitting matches is always useful, and perhaps at the end or near the end of the summer session something interesting will present itself. For the moment, however, those are the roles that the Nerazzurri management is hunting for these days, waiting to ratify Chivu’s renewal in black and white. Who after a dream first season at the helm of Inter should receive a huge array of gifts, chosen in the image and likeness of the creature that the Nerazzurri coach intends to build starting from the summer retreat.

Starting point: the tactical design will not change. There will certainly be the possibility of changing depending on matches and moments, but no revolution compared to the 3-5-2 is on the horizon. This is why Inter’s market will develop (also) based on releases, and this is the trend that the first shots will follow. The most pressing and urgent ones, to complete a squad left a little crippled by the (ultra-expected) contract expiries of Sommer, Acerbi, De Vrij and Darmian. Priority to the backlog department, therefore. So here are the profiles that the Nerazzurri management is looking for. Let’s start with the goalkeeper: the objective is to support Josep Martinez, who will be promoted to starter, with a ready and experienced 12th capable of guaranteeing reliable reliability in case an alternation becomes necessary. The name, more than Provedel who would like to return to the starting line-up after the injury stoppage which promoted the young Motta to the starting position at Lazio, is that of Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Basque is now used to being a deputy and is considered ideal.

In defense, two different players: one right-footed, the other left-footed. That they are able to best interpret different game systems. The most popular names to date are those of Solet and Muharemovic, for which the competition has increased but not waned. And in the middle? The search was limited to a name that could add different characteristics to the department compared to those already present in the squad including Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Sucic and Mkhitaryan. That’s why the perfect candidate seems to be Liverpool’s Curtis Jones. As regards the winger, the characteristics on which the Nerazzurri’s research is based are equally precise: a young profile, who can play indifferently between the right and left flank, capable of replacing or alternating with Dumfries. The identikit corresponds precisely to the name of Marco Palestra of Atalanta. On the transfer tables, the new Inter has already taken shape. Now the imperative is to move on to the facts. To give Chivu a wealth of new players around which to build Inter 2.0.
