Esposito and Bonny delayed, the attack against Monza is worrying

The friendly match against Milan played in Perth offered mixed signals regarding the form of the Nerazzurri squad. On one hand, some players gave encouraging responses, while on the other, worrying delays are emerging ahead of the season opener.

According to La Repubblica, Pio Esposito and Bonny still appear behind in their preparation. This is particularly significant considering that they will be entrusted with leading the attack in the first league match against Monza. Chivu defends them, but the need to quickly get into shape becomes an absolute priority.

On the other hand, Diouf confirmed the good impressions on the right flank, while Stankovic provided further positive signs. Pavard also did not disappoint, despite still being among the candidates for a transfer. The Frenchman, together with Asllani and Frattesi, represents one of the surplus players slowing down incoming operations.

The situation is blocking the move for Romero, the club’s declared target. The inability to complete the deal opens dangerous opportunities for Atletico Madrid, ready to take advantage of the Nerazzurri’s stalemate. The need to trim the squad before investing risks becoming a double-edged sword in the transfer market.
