Inter did not make any signings in the January window. Despite the departure of Palacios and the emergency on the right flank that has persisted since November 9, the Nerazzurri club did not provide Chivu with any reinforcements. Luis Henrique will therefore continue to cover that area of the pitch, while waiting for Dumfries to recover.
Investments have been directed towards the future, with the arrivals of Jakirovic and Massolin. For the rest, according to Corriere dello Sport, there were several failed attempts: from Cancelo to Perisic, including Diaby and Jones, the latter linked to a possible transfer of Frattesi. No deal was completed.
The last almost open track concerned Diaby, but only because Al-Ittihad had not responded to the latest Nerazzurri offer until Sunday evening. Yesterday, a definitive no also arrived by email to a loan until next December, with an obligation to buy based on the number of appearances for about 30 million. All the players had given their approval to Inter, even reaching an economic agreement. However, an agreement with the owning clubs was always missing, except for Cancelo who preferred Barcelona.
Chivu can only wait for Dumfries to return. The hope is that twenty days will be enough and that the Dutchman’s state of mind will be the right one. The doubt is linked to the Liverpool inquiry a few days ago, which Marotta himself complained about. Nothing materialized, but in the player’s mind the idea of a change of scenery may have taken shape. It is likely to happen at the end of the season.
