The summer market for the top Italian teams is going through a standstill phase, influenced by financial demands. Libero defines the current strategy with the expression “few but good,” highlighting the difficulties common to all top clubs, including Inter.
According to the newspaper, conducting a transfer window with eight, ten, or twelve deals is now impossible. Prices are too high in July and clubs wait for the second half of August to find bargains and opportunities. It is a different market compared to the past, one that requires patience.
The approach followed by all the clubs focuses on targeted and quality moves. In this context, contract renewals become important, such as those completed by the Nerazzurri with Bisseck and Carlos Augusto.
As for the Nerazzurri’s transfer market, the club had planned a significant investment for the right flank, first with Palestra and then, for half the price, with Khalaili. The move was anticipated precisely to avoid the July standstill, but for different reasons, the deals did not go through.
The club has thus returned to “silent mode.” It will not buy a player it is not convinced about at the current July prices – 40 million for Doué, 50 for Spence, figures deemed absurd – but has started a dialogue with Romero’s agents to see if the price might drop. Even in this case, 50 million is considered excessive. The goal is to assess whether it makes sense to shift the major investment to the center of defense.
