INTER MILAN SHOW INTEREST IN UNITED STAR

Posted on July 6, 2021 by index

The future of Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic is still a huge doubt and the Serbian star’s move away from the club could be closer than ever. Matic has dropped down the midfield pecking order at the club and has fallen behind the trio of Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, and Fred in the starting lineup. United manager Olé Gunnar Solksjær reportedly wants to cash in on the midfielder this summer and there could be arrangements for that, with reports claiming that Italian Serie A giants and current Champions Inter Milan have continued to increase their interest in the player.

Matic himself is said to be open to the idea of leaving Old Trafford as he wants to be involved in more football games than he is currently entitled to under Solksjær. He has reportedly been weighing up his options since toward the end of last season as Inter Milan are not the only club that have shown interest in his signature.

INTER EXTEND SERIE A LEAD

Posted on May 14, 2021 by index

Inter Milan are closing in on a first title in over a decade after the nervy win over Hellas Verona in their latest league clash on Sunday. The Nerazzuri had not won the league since the Jose Mourinho era and it looks like that league title drought is coming to an end.

Mourinho masterminded an impressive treble at Inter Milan at the end of the 2009/10 season. The Nerazzuri had won both the league and the Coppa Italia before Argentine striker Diego Milito scored twice in the Champions League final to lead Inter to a 2-0 win over German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich thereby completing the haul of three major trophies in a season.

Inter Milan have failed to hit the heights of that season under Mourinho since then. Mourinho would leave the club to join Real Madrid after his impressive performance in the Inter Milan dugout at the end of the 2009/10 campaign. He was replaced by Spaniard Rafael Benitez.

Radu came on as substitute during that game in the place of the injured Juan Pablo Carrizo. He came on as a second half substitute to play his role in the win for Inter Milan at the expense of Sassuolo.

INTER MILAN VALUE DEFENDER AT £50m

Posted on March 1, 2021 by index

New Italian Serie A leaders Inter Milan could have sold defender Milan Skriniar if his suitors had met their asking price. Inter Milan were open to the idea of selling the Slovakian international centre back after a difficult first season under Antonio Conte in the last campaign but he has been able to recover from that difficult season to become an important member of the Inter Milan backline. Popular Italian transfer news portal Calciomercato stated that Inter Milan turned down a big bid of £30m for Milan Skriniar from Premier League outfit Milan Skriniar and that the defender is now valued at £50m at least after his recent renaissance in an Inter Milan shirt.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho wanted to sign Milan Skriniar at the start of this season but the club was not able to reach an agreement with Inter Milan despite offering £30m for the services of the Slovakian international player. Inter Milan wanted more money for Skriniar but Spurs were not willing to pay and the refusal to meet the financial demands of Inter Milan for their top defensive target has come back to bite the club.

JUVENTUS SET TO WELCOME BACK TWO FIRST-TEAM STARS FOR INTER TIE

Posted on January 28, 2021 by index

The last league game Juventus played attracted mixed feelings and reactions in terms of results and outcomes. The result of the tie against Sassuolo was a favorable one as Andrea Pirlo’s men ran out comfortable 3-1 winners over their Serie A rivals. However, one major issue of concern was some other outcome of the match.

Although they celebrated the victory, Juventus still left the pitch with some injury concerns to key players. There is no particular time that any club would want to wish for injuries on their players, especially the very important ones, but this is the worst moment for clubs to bemoan their players getting injured. This is because it is that time of the season when games begin to come in thick and fast and the coach would love to have every member of the whole squad fit. Continue reading

Torino took the lead in the first half, finally finding the back of the net after numerous counterattacks against Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan.
