Inter, Skriniar’s replacement must be at his height. Agresti’s comment

Demiral cannot be the right man to replace Slovak: he is impulsive and discontinuous. He can be an alternative, not a first choice

It is up to Inter to sell Skriniar: the club’s coffers need to breathe, his sale would help Zhang to overcome even this difficult moment. It had also happened last summer, when Lukaku and Hakimi had even left; in that case, the Nerazzurri managers had managed to build a team that was still competitive by choosing the right men in their place, although not as strong. However, a strange situation is developing around Skriniar’s replacement.

The first choice – as we know – is Bremer, which however is also the ideal solution identified by Juve to replace De Ligt. Having the bianconeri sold the Dutchman sooner than Inter was able to do with Skriniar, and therefore being able to reinvest immediately, it is likely that they will be the ones to take the Brazilian from Torino. With the latter, Inzaghi would have been serene; without him, the problem can become serious. In the last few hours, the name of Demiral has taken hold, which Atalanta has redeemed from Juve without being too convinced that he is the right man for the defense of the future, so much so that she said she was ready to include him in the Pinamonti affair (in Turin not they were completely sorry when they learned that the people of Bergamo had taken it home for 20 million).

With all due respect, it cannot be Demiral who replaces Skriniar. The Turk is impulsive, discontinuous; one that alternates exciting games with unforgivable topics. The opposite, in short, of the reliable defender that every coach would want with them. The opposite of Skriniar, or of Bremer. In an ambitious team like Inter, Demiral can be an alternative, not a first choice. Otherwise it means that something is wrong.
