In the pre-match interview for Inter-Arsenal by Sky Sport, Inter’s President, Beppe Marotta, also touched on potential market strategies for January. Specifically, the Inter’s top executive clarified that the only possible operations could be for emerging young talents.
Marotta’s words outlined a pretty clear profile, which seems to lead towards a specific player: Nicolò Bertola. The 2003-born defender from Spezia is at the end of his contract and a good relationship with Inter could facilitate his move to the Nerazzurri a few months early.
Inter’s notepad also includes other young profiles, especially concerning the midfield. Among them are Samuele Ricci from Torino and Adrian Bernabé from Parma, although it seems difficult to set up a deal for either of them already this season. It’s more likely that Inter makes its move in the summer.
Similar discussion also for Daniel Maldini. In particular, the 12 million euros clause weighs on the Monza striker’s case. This is a significant investment that Inter may only seriously consider for next season.
Alternatively, there’s the option of Reda Belahyane. Hellas Verona is not new to outgoing operations in the January market. Therefore, the profile of the 2004-born midfielder could take off, especially if Asllani continues to be unconvincing in the coming weeks.
