Transfer market Inter, striker in 72 hours: Thuram faded, Correa close

The new striker in 72 hours, in time to make him available to Simone Inzaghi on Friday in Verona. Here it is, the Inter plan. Revised and remodeled several times, updated according to events. All the signals lead to Joaquin Correa, a man almost alone in command, although not yet at the finish line.

Marcus Thuram actually came out of the race, after the injury on Saturday: yesterday first tests on the right knee for the Frenchman, today new checks, the involvement of the ligaments in his right knee seems to be confirmed, even if his club – Borussia Moenchengladbach – issued a statement on the attacker, not specifying the recovery times. “Until further information will not be available”, we read: no less than 45 days of stop, according to the first rumors.

APPROACH

—

So here is Correa, who in truth has never left the thoughts of Inter and Inzaghi, since the hours in which the farewell of Lukaku became a concrete possibility. There is a noticeable approximation of the positions of the two clubs. The work of Alessandro Lucci, the Argentine’s agent who is in fact taking care of all aspects of this deal, has set Lazio’s request at 35 million euros, 5 million less than the 40 initially feared by Lotito. It is an important step in this phase of skirmishes, before the decisive lunge. Inter are determined not to exceed 30 million, with a formula that will presumably be fixed in a loan with obligation to redeem. A few more hours are needed for the agreement and, in all probability, the inclusion of bonuses to bring supply and demand closer. The game is played a lot on the nature and extent of the bonuses: this is where Inter and Lazio will have to be, to close the deal. Not a simple work, because the relations between the two companies are practically nil, moreover cooled also by the Rome-Milan trip operated by Inzaghi. Lotito knows perfectly well that Correa’s preference goes towards Inter. He knows that Thuram’s injury forces the Nerazzurri to make the move, but he also knows he can’t pull too hard. To Rai the president of Lazio said: “How much is Correa worth? I don’t do the market on TV. At the beginning of my presidency I said” pay money, see camel “. Also because we pay the players. moment when someone will make us an offer in a clear way “.

That time is about to arrive. Inter want to close immediately and Correa would be the perfect solution for immediate use. The joint that satisfies all the parties involved must be found. Correa waits: he already has an understanding with Inter. And Inzaghi is ready to insert it in the rotations with Lautaro and Dzeko, somehow also filling a gap in the staff. In theory, Inzaghi would have Sanchez at his disposal, with similar characteristics. But the Chilean, who will return to Milan today after the rehabilitation period in Barcelona, ​​has shown that he cannot give high physical guarantees, at least in the medium to long term. To date, however, the possibility of a farewell must be excluded: Inter are not thinking about the termination of the contract. Rather, think about adding ingredients to Inzaghi’s cake.
