Inter are very interested in bringing Dusan Vlahovic, from Juventus, free of contract at the end of the current season.
Even if Cristi Chivu has Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez in attack, the possibility of bringing in another top striker for free is an irresistible temptation. The Turin newspaper La Stampa writes that Inter has been groping the field for a long time and trying to convince Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbian striker has refused to extend his deal with Juventus, which expires at the end of the current season, and will be available for free in the summer. “Zero parameter transfers are Beppe Marotta's specialty” – La Stampa recalls the times when the current president of Inter was in charge of Juventus.
Dusan Vlahovic is also being courted by Milan and Bayern
The problem is that Vlahovic is high on the list of several clubs. First of all AC Milan, for whom it has become a priority, as has the extension of Mike Maignan's contract. The Serbian is also being courted by Bayern, who want him as a backup for Harry Kane.
This position is now occupied by Nicolas Jackson, but the German champion is not satisfied with the Senegalese “top” and it is already known that he will not turn the loan from Chelsea into a permanent transfer.
Cristi Chivu: “The reality is that I am at the top of the ranking”
For now, Chivu is counting on Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, from whom they expect goals in the duel with Napoli, this evening. Inter lost in the round at the “Diego Armando Maradona” stadium, with 3-1, and are aiming for a rematch to keep their seat at the top.
The coach of Inter did not forget that he was often reproached for the weakness of his team in matches with opponents of the caliber: “It is too easy to talk about direct confrontations that were not won and about certain things, because that is what the numbers show. The reality is that I am at the top of the leaderboard and have more points than those who may have beaten me“.
