Inter beat Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia final to claim their second title of the season,
Now this Inter Milan and the Inter Milan two months ago are completely like two teams.
Two months ago, Inter Milan lost successively to Spezia, Juventus, Fiorentina and Monza in Serie A. The striker failed to score, and the back could not defend. They suffered 1 draw and 4 losses in 5 league games, which can be called the lowest level of the season. valley.
At that time, not only was the head coach Simone Inzaghi unstable and could be fired at any time, but the performance of most players in the Inter Milan team was also bombarded by fans.
But two months later, the performance of the same coach and the same players is vastly different.
From the 3:0 victory over Empoli in the Serie A away game, to the 1:0 victory over AC Milan in the second round of the Champions League semi-final to eliminate opponents and advance to the final, Inter Milan played a total of 8 games in 25 days, maintaining a complete victory and total gains and losses. The ball is 22:3.
Not only did the league return to the top 4, but both the Champions League and the Coppa Italia entered the finals, and all the players on the team also showed their best performances this season, which also attracted the demands of major giants.
At present, the top four players in the Inter Milan team are: forward Lautaro, worth 80 million euros; midfielder Barrera, worth 70 million euros; defender Bastoni, worth 55 million euros.
Didn't you mean the top 4 worth? How come there are only 3? Oh, I'm sorry, the No. 37 worth 60 million euros, most people including 캡포탈 think that he is no longer an Inter Milan player, and they don't even bother to mention his name.
Lautaro, Barrera and Bastoni are the core players of Inter Milan's three lines of forward, midfielder and defender. Together with goalkeeper Onana, these four players can be called the ace players of this current Inter Milan.
Lautaro was once criticized by fans due to his poor performance in the World Cup in Qatar.
But after Inter Milan entered the devil's schedule in April, Lautaro suddenly broke out, scoring consecutive games, and took on most of Inter Milan's scoring responsibilities.
Lautaro played a total of 54 times for Inter Milan this season, scoring 27 goals and 9 assists. In the 8 games of Inter Milan's 8 consecutive victories, Lautaro scored 7 goals and 1 assist. . In the Coppa Italia final, Lautaro scored twice in 8 minutes to help Inter Milan beat Fiorentina 2:1 and win the Coppa Italia championship. He can be called the best striker in Europe at this stage.
Lautaro's outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of major giants, among which Chelsea is the one who most wants to get Lautaro.
Chelsea invested heavily in the introduction of Enzo Fernandez, Mudrick, Sterling, Coulibaly, Cucurella, Fofana and other players this season, but the team's performance was very poor. , The Premier League ranking has dropped to 10th place.
The team scored only 36 goals this season, which is only the same as Manchester City striker Haaland's Premier League goals alone. It is imperative to introduce a striker with strong scoring ability.
Chelsea boss Boehly therefore aimed at signing Lautaro, who is currently in hot form. He hopes to win Lautaro at a price of 100 million euros, form an Argentine combination with Enzo Fernandez, and is even willing to use Lukaku as an introduction Lautaro's chips.
For Inter Milan, although this is a very attractive price, Lautaro is not only Inter Milan's goal guarantee, but also the team captain, leading Inter Milan forward.
If Lautaro is sold, the replacement that needs to be found is not as simple as a shooter.
In addition to Lautaro, the midfielder Barrera has also attracted the attention of clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool.
Barrera is 26 years old this season. He played 49 times for Inter Milan this season, contributing 8 goals and 9 assists. He is the player with the most appearances, the most goals and the most assists among Inter Milan midfielders. Barrera has gained a lot of points. The only shortcoming is that he loves to blame his teammates too much, but he has restrained himself a lot recently.
The main reason for the decline in Liverpool's performance this season is the serious aging of the midfield, so Klopp has been looking for midfielders, and Bellingham is their number one target. If they can't buy Bellingham, they will turn their targets to Barrera, and is willing to pay an offer of 80 million euros for Barrera.
In addition, Manchester United, which has benefited from the introduction of Casemiro and Eriksen this season, also hopes to further improve their midfield strength. Their goal is also Barrera.
For Inter Milan, although Barrera is not as important as Lautaro on the field, his identity as Barrera makes him very important and cannot be moved easily.
Similar to Barrera is Bastoni. The 24-year-old Bastoni not only has excellent defense, but also has an accurate long pass. He has contributed 6 assists this season, second only to the left wing back among Inter Milan defenders. DiMarco.
A rare left-footed central defender like Bastoni, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, is even more interested in his club than Lautaro.
The contract between Bastoni and Inter Milan will expire in June 2024. If the renewal cannot be completed before the end of this season, in order to avoid the recurrence of the incident on the 37th, Inter Milan may choose to sell Bastoni in the summer transfer window.
Another player who has been missed by the major clubs is Inter Milan goalkeeper Onana. After the competition at the beginning of the season, Onana squeezed out the old goalkeeper Handanovic, successfully became the main goalkeeper of Inter Milan, and played in the Champions League. He performed well in the middle of the season, kept 8 clean sheets against opponents, and is the best goalkeeper in the Champions League this season.
His outstanding performance also moved Manchester United and Chelsea, who wanted to change their goalkeepers. The two teams wanted to buy Onana for around 40 million euros to replace De Gea and Kepa.
Since Onana was introduced by Inter Milan for free, if it is sold at a high price, it will have a very obvious effect on alleviating Inter Milan's financial pressure.
It's just that good goalkeepers are more difficult to find than good forwards nowadays, not to mention Onana's strong psychological quality, excellent passing and receiving ability, and ball-handling goalkeepers who are good at launching offenses are even scarcer. After selling Onana, It's hard to find an equally good replacement.
For Inter Milan, this is really a happy trouble. The team's outstanding record can not only greatly enhance the team's reputation, but also enter the Champions League final, win the Coppa Italia and qualify for the Champions League next season, all of which can bring real economic income to the team.
It's just that due to the superb acting skills of a certain No. 37 player, Inter Milan missed the last chance to sell people and cash out in the summer. The task of "60 million euros" this season has not been completed. Additional bonuses may not be enough to cover this loss.
And next season, there will be a new "60 million euros" task, so Inter Milan must have an income of 60 million euros to 80 million euros from selling players.
If one of the above four players can be sold, this problem can basically be solved and there may even be surplus for signings.
Lautaro, Onana, Barrera and Bastoni are the core resources of Inter Milan fans, and it is difficult to give up each of them. As long as the team is not so difficult financially, they are reluctant to sell any of them.
In terms of importance, 캡포탈 believes that Lautaro and Onana are indispensable to the current Inter Milan team, and they cannot be sold anyway, because it is too difficult to find their replacements.
If Bastoni does not renew his contract, he must be sold in the next transfer window to avoid repeating the same mistakes; if Bastoni renews his contract, then Barrera and Bastoni will depend on the buyer's offer and must not actively sell Players, neither can sell the price, but also easily hurt the hearts of the players.
