Inter must complete the squad before the league debut against Monza, now set for twenty days from now. Cristian Chivu reiterated the needs of the squad after the draw against Manchester City. “You can see for yourselves what is missing. Just count the number of wingers we have: there are three for two flanks,” explained the coach before departing for Perth.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Carlos Augusto is considered mainly a member of the defensive trio. For this reason, the Nerazzurri will have to intervene on the right flank or buy a player capable of adapting to the opposite side as well. The favorite remains Djed Spence, identified as a possible heir to Dumfries.
Chivu maintains constant contact with Baccin, Marotta, and Ausilio, but the alternatives available on the market are not numerous. The coach is also waiting for players “who can raise the level.” The main target for the midfield is Curtis Jones, but Liverpool continues to ask for around 45 million euros.
Inter hopes for a price reduction and awaits developments regarding the sales of Frattesi and Asllani. The club still has a certain economic flexibility to intervene.
Chivu also analyzed the draw with City: “We shouldn’t talk about a match won, because in the 90 minutes we drew. I’m happy with the boys’ effort.” The coach wants an aggressive team, capable of pressing high and changing system during the match. Aleksandar Stankovic was promoted as man of the match, while the future of Benjamin Pavard is still to be defined.
