It was one of Yann Bisseck’s best performances in an Inter shirt, played Wednesday night at San Siro against Arsenal. The German center-back was unbeatable on aerial balls and did a huge job on the left center along with Darmian to limit the danger of an unpredictable and fast player like Saka.
It was a great response from the class of 2000 to some excessive criticism he received at the start of this season. Another match that shows how Inter a year ago scored a real transfer hit for a defender who up until that point was relatively unknown. The one who benefits most is Bisseck’s profile, consistently improving also thanks to his very young age. As of today, in fact, the black and blue club values the defender at no less than 40 million euros and is ready to tie him down with a new contract until June 2029.
For this reason, as revealed this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter rejected a very tempting offer from the Premier League for Bisseck last summer: At Inter’s headquarters, a proposal arrived from West Ham of 25 million euros, sent back to the sender. Bisseck is untouchable. Also for a philosophical choice. He was one of the last deals of the Zhang era, but in fact he is the perfect prototype of the type of investment that the Oaktree fund prefers: a young player, with prospects, with a large margin for growth both in sporting terms and in terms of his profile.
