Two weeks from the start of the championship, and three from the close of the transfer window, Inter finds itself in an unprecedented situation compared to recent seasons. According to the Corriere dello Sport, the Nerazzurri have the financial resources needed to operate in the market—resources that were lacking in previous summers—but are encountering difficulties in completing the planned deals.

The sports daily highlights how the Milanese club had the advantage of moving ahead of the competition, being able to count on technical and managerial continuity. A unique condition among the big teams, which, however, is not making it easier to conclude negotiations. The possibility of having to wait until the last days of the summer window to complete the project outlined at the start of the season remains real.

The Corriere dello Sport recalls the precedent of the Akanji deal, closed at the last minute a year ago. At Appiano, no one would complain if a similar scenario were to repeat itself, considering how last season went. At this stage of the market, the yes from those who need to start a new life elsewhere counts more than the yes from those who need to arrive.
