Inter is not wasting any time and while its rivals are struggling to consistently carry forward a successful sports project, the Nerazzurri management is already working to raise the bar after this season’s Scudetto and Coppa Italia. The market expert journalist Gianluca Di Marzio takes stock of Inter’s plans and writes on his website: “There will be a first meeting this week to mainly establish the transfer budget, because from the budget it will be clear how much Inter can spend net of possible sales. There was talk of 50 million, then 150 million and I believe that in the end a middle ground will be reached, a figure that could range between 80 and 100 million to mainly try to replace the players whose contracts are expiring.”
Then Di Marzio adds: “For Chivu there will be a meeting for the renewal and adjustment, the salary will go from the current 2 million to 3.5 million plus bonuses, something like that, deserved, an adjustment for the coach who led Inter to win both the league and the Coppa Italia and above all to present himself with a different style compared to previous ones. Many are asking us if Inter will really manage to get Nico Paz. It is more of a wish from the ownership, it would be the classic cherry on top, but very complicated because there is the situation related to Real’s buy-back, so first Real Madrid would have to bring him back and then decide and understand at what price Real would eventually decide to sell him, if they decide to sell Nico Paz. For him, yes, for a player like him or for him, surely Chivu could even try to change the system of play, that is, he could present a 3-4-1-2 or a 3-4-2-1 which could better suit a player with Nico Paz’s characteristics, a bit like he wanted to do last year with Lookman, when in the end Lookman didn’t arrive.”
