Day after day, conviction grows in the Inter camp about pulling off a significant transfer coup in January. The Nerazzurri club has recently held meetings to complete a deal that hints at the future.
Inter’s target for weeks now, Nicolò Bertola could become an Inter player sooner than expected. Facilitating the negotiations is the excellent relationship that ties the Nerazzurri to Spezia, as confirmed by the recent meetings between the two clubs. As we know, the defender’s contract will expire at the end of the season: to avoid upsetting the Ligurian club the Inter is planning to finalize the deal in January.
These are the latest according to Marco Barzaghi: Something important is happening in the market, Inter is planning for the future. There was a crucial meeting for Nicolò Bertola. He is a 21-year-old defender, 1.92m tall and very interesting, already scoring 3 goals in Serie B. Spezia has been a long-time friendly club with which Inter completed the Esposito deal, and if promoted, Bertola could stay to gain experience in the top flight. His contract expires at the end of the season, but Inter doesn’t want to upset a long-time friendly club. That’s why they might buy the player for a nominal fee in January, leave him with Spezia to finish the season and then take him to Milan.
The journalist speculated a possible swap between Inter and Spezia: In exchange for a technical counterpart, there are several players that could be of interest. From Esposito if Spezia gets promoted, Di Maggio, many young players could leave the Nerazzurri youth academy to gain experience. For example, Cocchi, Kamaté returning from loan, or Aleksandar Stankovic. Juventus, Milan, and Torino are also trying, but Inter is leading. They are building this agreement and it could be an important coup for the future.
