Diouf convinces as a wing-back, resources focused on Romero

The performance of Andy Diouf as right wing-back in the friendly win against Karlsruher changes the transfer market plans. The Frenchman, who scored a brace in stoppage time, convinced the Nerazzurri management of his reliability in the role.

According to Corriere della Sera, the guarantees offered by Diouf now allow Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio to focus on Cristian Romero, the top target in this phase of the transfer window.

The Milanese newspaper recalls how the deals for Marco Palestra and Anan Khalaili have already fallen through for different reasons. The track leading to Djed Spence has also become complicated after the World Cup with England.

With the right wing-back role now covered internally, Inter can allocate financial resources and time to the negotiations for the Argentine defender, the first name on the Nerazzurri management’s summer target list.
