The Corriere della Sera returns to take stock of Inter‘s transfer market, which has now entered its decisive phase. After closing the deal for Spence, the Nerazzurri club is working on Curtis Jones for the midfield and on a possible reinforcement for the right flank, in case Luis Henrique moves to Roma.
The Milanese newspaper highlights how Chivu reiterated during the tour that the market has its own timing, but that it is necessary to raise the level of the squad. Spence represents the heir to Dumfries, even though the Englishman has different characteristics, still offensive, and can also be used as a backup for Dimarco on the left wing.
Another player could arrive for the right flank if Luis Henrique leaves Milan, but even in this case, it is necessary to wait to complete all the pieces. Moussa Diaby, the Frenchman from Al Ittihad, who moved to Arabia about two years ago after a good season at Aston Villa, remains in pole position.
The Corriere della Sera points out that, in order to compete with the English world from which Italy is now distant, the same weapons are needed or at least those that Italian football can afford, considering that it has long been out of the top 10 in revenues. Players who are considered middle class in the Premier League, like Jones (22 starts with the Reds last year between the league and the Champions League) and Spence, who comes off a positive World Cup with 4 starts out of 8 matches with England, or slightly older leaders like Stones, can make a difference at a high level in Italy.
The cited example is Manuel Akanji, who arrived from Manchester City at the last minute of the transfer window a year ago and soon became a leader of the Nerazzurri defense.
