The winter transfer market has just concluded and for Inter it was an opportunity to free up some players who were demanding more play time. For example, Tomas Palacios, who left for Monza to gain some experience playing in Italy, and Tajon Buchanan, who moved to Villarreal to spend less time on the bench.
The Romanian goalkeeper Ionut Radu was transferred to Venezia after he was left out from the main team. The only new arrival is Nicola Zalewski, who was taken from Roma on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
A curious behind-the-scenes story about the transfer market came out today from Sky Sport Insider. They revealed that two other Inter players were very close to being transferred during this winter transfer window. Both players are attackers and their contracts will expire at the end of the season.
The players in question are Marko Arnautovic, who received a call from West Ham in the last hours, and Joaquin Correa, who was appreciated by Cagliari. However, both players decided to reject these options and stay with Inter to take their chances, even though they have very limited play time. It seems that they are determined to prove their worth to Simone Inzaghi.
