The Belgian is ready to say goodbye to the Nerazzurri, he will go to Chelsea in exchange for 115 million The Uruguayan did not follow the team to Palma: he is a complete break with the club
CAGLIARI. The deal is done: Lukaku from Inter to Chelsea for 115 million. Nerazzurri fans are furious because, after Conte and Hakimi, they see the Scudetto team disassemble in front of their eyes. And it’s money that could now be spent building a team that can still compete in Italy and Europe.
And among the arrivals is Nandez. Who just yesterday broke up with Cagliari. He did not board the plane that was taking his red and blue companions to Palma de Mallorca. A clear signal that he wants to leave. The celestial harmony in the rossoblu home is an old memory of the times of Francescoli, Herrera and Fonseca. Now, on the very day of the inauguration of the new shirt homage to Uruguay, it is really breaking. The Nandez case is the most striking. Godin’s remains heavy. Only Oliva (who is in theory leaving) and Pereiro are saved. There was tension on the Nandez case: Cagliari and Inter had spoken on several occasions. And the Nerazzurri’s fate for Leon seemed decided. The problem is that the agreement was never found. With presumable re-liability between the parties. Inter may be waiting for the money from the Lukaku deal. And – as things seem to have turned out in Milan – the Nerazzurri does not seem willing to pay the 36 million of the release clause.
In recent weeks, other solutions have certainly been explored. Until it got to the point that he looked dead on Friday night. At the same time another signal arrived from Cagliari: Nandez’s call-up for yesterday’s match. The player and his staff may have been thinking about it all night. And yesterday morning, at the roll call at the airport, Naithan was not there. Absent. For the company a flat rate not agreed and not communicated. The plane left, but with an empty seat, that of Nandez. Diesse Stefano Capozucca did not take it well. And now they await the action of the club. Nandez has a contract that expires in 2024. There is the famous 36 million release clause. But it seems unlikely that Inter can spend this amount right now. A matryoshka deal because there is also Nainggolan underneath: the feeling is that if the negotiation for Nandez is not unlocked, Nainggolan will remain where it is. Result: two players who are where the contract says. But reluctantly. Tomorrow at the resumption of training the second episode: Nandez in Assemini so far has always responded present. The Godin case is the other side of the coin of relationships – and contracts – between club and player. Capozucca has clearly stated that Godin is an expense that Cagliari can no longer afford. But the defender feels strong of the agreement and the engagement stipulated a year ago.
