Inter on the market, the directors are not in a hurry: the Akanji lesson

At Inter headquarters, calm reigns on the transfer market front. No delays, just strategy. Gazzetta dello Sport explains the club’s position, reporting that the Nerazzurri directors have clear ideas: to act rationally, without falling into the trap of prices inflated by urgency.

The management’s reasoning starts from a certainty: the team is already competitive, as Chivu has reiterated. Two or three players are needed to raise the level, as Chivu would define them. But there is no rush. In Italy, according to the club’s view, it is the other teams that need to catch up to reopen the race for the national title.

This approach does not mean inertia until the first of September. On the contrary, it means operating with clarity in a market complicated by the delay caused by the World Cup. The management wants to avoid hasty and expensive purchases, preferring to wait for the right moment.

To explain this philosophy, the directors recall a concrete example: Akanji. The defender, who arrived on the last day of the 2025 transfer window, is considered the best signing, closed on very favorable terms. Perhaps a stroke of luck, or perhaps not.
