Sandro Sabatini analyzed Inter’s transfer market with a critical tone, questioning the strategy of the ownership fund. The journalist, speaking on YouTube, expressed doubts about the lack of investments despite the coach’s requests and the club’s financial resources.

“Diouf is very good in my opinion, Inter a year ago was paying more than 20 million but he is a central midfielder. A winger is needed and that’s why I see Inter’s transfer market as not exactly inexplicable but quite difficult to understand,” said Sabatini. The journalist recalled the arrivals of Stankovic, described as an excellent prospect but not yet ready for a starting role, as well as Provedel and Stones on free transfers, highlighting the lack of a real financial investment.

The central question concerns the absence of significant spending: “Why doesn’t the fund want to spend? Here, not even the money received from Dumfries has been spent.” Sabatini pointed out how Chivu sent a clear message, asking for reinforcements on the wing, but without receiving concrete answers from the club.

The journalist mentioned the possible negotiation for Cambiaso involving a swap with Frattesi, which has now faded. “Frattesi for a thousand reasons is not the same as when he arrived at Inter, you could see it even yesterday, for me he is the password to then find the money to spend. You sell Frattesi and use that money for a winger or his replacement,” he explained.

The criticism became harsher regarding the management model adopted: “It’s one thing if you have debts, you have to respect Fair Play, if you spent too much in previous years or have too many players, it’s another thing in Inter’s ideal situation, with a coach you had already saved money on, who just won the league, says he needs players and you don’t satisfy him.” Sabatini put the issue bluntly: “Whether it’s Marotta, Ausilio, or, as it is, the fund, there are two cases: either you understand nothing about football or you are selling Inter.”

The reasoning focused on the possibility that the fund is preparing to sell the club: “A fund that wants to keep the accounts so in order, like all funds aims for profit and at this moment selling Inter you make a big profit because you sell it with the accounts in order, with a strong team, with the wage bill under control and with important prospects.” The journalist also recalled that Ausilio was offered only a one-year renewal.

The conclusion concerns the risks of this strategy: “If you don’t invest, the value that starts at 100, if you do badly in the league, then drops to 80. Be careful to think that saving = profit, sometimes investment = profit.” An invitation to the fund to reflect on the consequences of overly cautious management, which could compromise the very value of the club.
