Lukaku stays, Dzeko risks, offers for Onana and Brozovic- Corriere.it

Ona, Matte, Ace, Basto, Denz, Bare, Brozo, Chala, Dima, Edin, Lauti, Rome, Robin, Miki, Tucu, Stefan, Handa and the others. Inter who paraded between two wings of City players along the corridor of honor on the bitter night in Istanbul will remain in the memory: for a final that was kept wide open until the last ball, for the spectacular last two months, but also for the four trophies won under Inzaghi’s management.

A few minutes later the tribute paid by an opponent who had rarely been so in trouble, the president Steven Zhang spoke as vice-champion of Europe and he tried to metabolize a mix of violent emotions, immediately relaunching: We have shown that we can play against all the strongest teams. This must only be a starting point to continue to remain at these levels.

The self-esteem boost, the approx 140 million brought in from this Champions League campaign (box office included) and the international consolidation of the brand are all concrete elements that must be exploited immediately, because the future is now. And Inter – who brought Dimarco and Bastoni into the top 11 of the Champions League – still remain the oldest finalist in recent years: if it is not a revolution, the push for evolution will still be strong.

The premise of the summer market is very different from a year ago: Inter are not forced to sell anyone by 30 June to shore up the balance sheet, given that revenues should break through 400 and the red will fall below 100. The concept of self-financing and that of research, including creative opportunities, remain the cornerstones. For this reason, the renewal of Lukaku’s loan with Chelsea is one of the first issues on the agenda: the Belgian wants to stay (just like the Parisian Hakimi would like to return) and if Pochettino gives the green light, Inzaghi and Inter will restart with LuLa to attack Europe and the Scudetto, which is the priority. Different speech for Dzeko, who at 37 wants a renewal of 5-6 million. Inter are ready for a Giroud-style operation, around 3.5. If an agreement with the Bosnian is not found, there will be two free places in attack, because Correa must be placed: Scamacca on loan from West Ham could be a trail. Retegui another, but more expensive.

Chapter possible big departures: Onana hinted after the defeat against City that at certain levels you never know. And therefore if an offer arrives (from 40 and up, with Chelsea suspected) he and Inter will evaluate it. At that point for the Cameroonian who reached zero he should be replaced: if he doesn’t set the Vicar idea, the alternative that marries costs and European experience Sommer, back from six months at Bayern where Neuer returns. If there is optimism for the extension of Bastoni and for the redemption of Acerbi, in defense the hot name that of the French Pavard, also from Bayern: it costs 15-20 million, expiring in 2024, but it plays all the roles. In midfield the noble exit Brozovich. And the blow could be Frattesi del Sassuolo. The rating is 40, but Inter have young players ready for Serie A Mulattieri and Fabbian to be included in the negotiations (same speech for Atalantino Scalvini). On the outside, the interest in Carlos Augusto del Monza, as deputy Dimarco in place of Gosens (exit to be monetised), is concrete. Spend little, spend well and if possible rejuvenate yourself: the line is clear, the goals as well. Of the thousand construction sites in Istanbul, the Nerazzurri was already among the busiest.
