Finally, the day of Atalanta-Inter has arrived, the Scudetto challenge in Bergamo that should reveal a great deal about the deciding moments at the top of the Serie A standings. The two teams will take the field tonight, fully aware of the earlier result of another crucial encounter in the title race—Venezia-Napoli, kicking off at 12:30.
It’s a match that Inter’s executives will watch not only as mere fans, but also with special attention focused on an Inter transfer-market target for next summer. That player is Isak Hien, the Swedish centre-back who has long been on the radar of the Nerazzurri.
As reaffirmed this morning by Tuttosport, the Atalanta defender has completely convinced coach Simone Inzaghi. According to the Turin-based newspaper, the manager believes Hien’s pace and physical qualities are perfect for his three-man defensive system, and it’s no secret that the directors from Viale della Liberazione, in coordination with their manager, have been keeping tabs on the former Verona player since his time in Veneto.
From the perspective of revamping the backline with prepared, ready-to-perform players and overall bringing down the squad’s average age, Hien—born in 1999—could represent the ideal solution, fitting Inzaghi’s requirements to perfection. The Swedish defender knows this very well, and tonight he will certainly go all out to showcase his talent and definitively convince the team that could become his next club come summer.
