La Gazzetta: market limits, Inter will still aim for the Scudetto

Gazzetta dello Sport today dedicates space to questions about the transfer market of the main Italian teams. Among them is Inter, which is recognized as being somewhat behind in operations, while still maintaining an advantage over the competition.

“The departure of Dumfries is not enough to call into question Inter’s advantage over the competition,” reads the pink newspaper, where it is emphasized that the Dutchman was sidelined for four months last season. “A wide, structural advantage, based on the winning habit of a group that in the last four seasons has won two league titles and reached two Champions finals, as well as two Coppa Italia and two Super Cups.”

According to the sports daily, cycles can end suddenly, but the gap over rivals remains significant. If the most important players maintain the same hunger and the same performance in 2025-26, taking the scudetto away from the Nerazzurri will be difficult.

“It will be interesting to see the approach to the Champions League: two years ago it was clear that it was the number one objective, while last season there was nothing but the league title on the team’s mind. The limits on the market set by the club suggest that Italy will be the preferred ground for conquest. And that is not good news for their opponents.”
