Speaking before the match Cremonese-Inter, the Nerazzurri president Giuseppe Marotta talked about the transfer market and possible last-minute deals just hours before the close of the winter window. These were his words to the microphones of Dazn:

PIO ESPOSITO – “There is definitely satisfaction, the credit goes to Chivu who has brought out the best in one of our most promising young players at the moment, Pio. We have an attacking department of great quality and we are happy to have achieved this with a coach who was working in the youth sector.”

DUMFRIES – “Regarding Dumfries, I don’t want to disrespect the medical staff but I believe that within a month he could be available. As for the market itself, we have said that in this transfer window we never approached it with the anxiety of having to fill gaps, except for this situation that happened with Dumfries. There weren’t any opportunities to take advantage of. The Diaby situation was an opportunity, we made an inquiry but the answer was that Al-Hittiad wants to keep him, so that was the end of it.”

FRATTESI – “Will Frattesi remain at the center of the project? Yes, we have always said that we will let go of players who want to leave. He has not shown this intention, today he is here, he plays, and he is important for us. The hope is that he can find more consistency, but the competition is strong and a lot depends on him and a combination of factors.”

MASSOLIN – “We have made some moves as investments in young players. This one, even though he is twenty-four, was made with the intention of bringing in a player who can also be useful in the future for the First Team. Tomorrow we can finalize this deal, with the player finishing the season at Modena.”
