Among the roles that may need intervention in the next summer transfer market of Inter is that of playmaker. In fact, at the Inter home, there is an urgent need to find a reliable alternative to Hakan Calhanoglu, who has turned 30 and whose absence is proving quite detrimental to Simone Inzaghi.
His designated deputy is Kristjan Asllani, whose performances, however, have not fully convinced in two seasons and a few months. The gap with the Turkish player, in short, is quite significant, even though at Viale della Liberazione they remain convinced of the potential of the former Empoli player. However, if he does not reach the expected level in terms of maturity and growth, then Giuseppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio would look around for a new playmaker.
According to Gianluigi Longari of Sportitalia, there is one name that more than others is considered ideal for the future midfield of Inter: it is Samuele Ricci of Torino. Class of 2001, he turned 23 in August and meets all the characteristics desired at the Inter home, so much so that the company would be crazy about him: young, Italian and capable of being also the heir to Calhanoglu in the long term, as well as an initial alternative.
The appreciation for Ricci is total, but obviously there will be a battle with a lot of competition, since the Granata midfielder is liked by several Italian and foreign clubs. The track, however, is to be considered hot and it will be discussed again in the coming months.
