Italian Media Praises Christian Eriksen’s Performance In Inter’s Coppa Italia Exit To Napoli

A report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has praised the performance of Inter midfielder Christian Eriksen in the Nerazzurri’s 1-1 draw against Napoli last night.

The report details how the Milanese club drew with the Partenopei in Naples last night, but the result was not enough to bring the team to the Coppa Italia finals next week, as Napoli held a 1-0 aggregate lead after beating Inter at the San Siro before the Coronavirus stop. Despite the disappointing result, Eriksen impressed throughout the game, scoring in the 2nd minute from a corner kick to put Inter ahead.

The player initially disappointed after arriving in Milan in January, the report continues, but the three-month stop has given him time to understand coach Antonio Conte’s tactical system and has given him a little more confidence on the pitch. Disappointingly for the Nerazzurri, despite Eriksen’s strong performance in the midfield department, the attacking partnership of Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez disappointed, failing to find the back of the net.

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta Prefers Bringing Radja Nainggolan Back Over Signing Barcelona’s Arturo Vidal

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta would prefer to reintegrate Radja Nainggolan into the squad, rather than signing Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the 32-year-old Belgian midfielder was deemed surplus to requirements last summer by the Nerazzurri and was sent out on loan to Cagliari. The player has impressed in Sardinia this season and may have earnt his way back into the Milanese club’s good books.

Nainggolan would be difficult to sell in the summer, the report continues, considering that he is worth around €19.3 million and has a salary of €4.5 million, on a contract that lasts until 2022.

The 32-year-old could be an extra option to coach Antonio Conte and his abilities in midfield may prove crucial next season. The player would fit the tactical system of the Lecce born coach and would be happy to play under the former Chelsea and Juventus boss.

Spanish Media – Inter Must Decide Barcelona Target Lautaro Martinez’ Future To Avoid His Value Dropping

Inter must decide what will happen to striker Lautaro Martinez soon to avoid any potential devaluations, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo journalist Francesc Aguilar on Twitter earlier today.

The report details how the 22-year-old Argentine striker, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2022, has promised coach Antonio Conte that he would finish the season with the Milanese club at his strongest, despite the interest from Barcelona. The Blaugrana are incredibly keen to sign Lautaro and believe that he would be the perfect replacement for the aging Luis Suarez.

Yesterday’s performance by Lautaro joined his last few before the Coronavirus stop, the report continues, sluggish and uninterested. Some are worried that a possible poor finish to the season by the 22-year-old could lower his value and help Barcelona in the negotiations for the player. Inter are still holding out for his €111 million release clause, but the Catalan club have so far appeared unable to pay this figure.

Italian Media Claims If Inter Sign Nice Defender Sarr On Free Transfer More Funds Can Be Spent On Tonali

Inter are looking to sign French defender Malang Sarr on a free transfer in the summer, allowing them to invest money into the deal for Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the 21-year-old French centre back’s contract will expire with Nice at the end of the month, allowing him to be signed on a free transfer. The player is worth around €20-25 million and so signing him on a free transfer allows the club to divert more funds to the deal for Tonali.

Signing Sarr would also allow the Nerazzurri to keep their promise with Hellas Verona, the report continues. The Milanese club could still sign Albanian talent Marash Kumbulla in the summer and then send him back to the Gialloblu on loan for next season, with Sarr joining the squad to strengthen the defensive department.

Inter Join Borussia Dortmund & Bayern Munich In Wanting To Sign Real Madrid’s Achraf Hakimi

Inter are one of the many clubs interested in signing Real Madrid owned full back Achraf Hakimi, according to a report from Spanish broadcaster Onda Cero earlier today, as reported by Italian media outlet FcInterNews.

The report details how the Nerazzurri and Bayern Munich have both put forward a serious offer for the 21-year-old Spaniard, who is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund from Real Madrid. Both German sides and Inter want to sign the player but he would cost €60 million, a large figure considering the current financial climate.

Real Madrid are not interested in keeping Hakimi, the report continues, as Dani Carvajal is preferred in that role. It will be up to coach Zinedine Zidane to choose whether to reintegrate the 21-year-old Spanish full back into the squad or to sell him in the summer.

Hakimi is contracted to Los Blancos until 2022, and so this summer may be the Spanish side’s last chance to sell the player for a large fee.

Italian Media Blame Lautaro Martinez’ Poor Performance Vs Napoli On Barcelona Links

Inter striker Lautaro Martinez disappointed into the Nerazzurri’s 1-1 draw against Napoli last night, with a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting that the player’s head has been turned by Barcelona.

The report details how the 22-year-old Argentine striker has long been at the centre of transfer market rumours, with Barcelona incredibly keen to sign the player, who they believe would be the perfect replacement for the aging Luis Suarez. Lautaro didn’t impress last night and was seemingly playing a different game than the rest on the pitch.

The 22-year-old didn’t resemble the player he did before the Coronavirus stop, the report continues, and now it’s up to coach Antonio Conte to bring out the best in Lautaro in the remaining games of the season. Considering the more exciting play of Alexis Sanchez in last night’s game, it’s possible the Chilean could overtake Lautaro in the starting 11.

Italian Media Lists 3 Reasons Why Lazio Lead Inter In Race To Sign Hellas Verona’s Marash Kumbulla

Lazio are hoping to secure the signature of Inter target Marash Kumbulla and have three advantages over their competition, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The report details how Hellas Verona want €35 million for the 20-year-old Albanian defender, who has impressed in his first season in Serie A.

The Gialloblu would be willing to accept a player in exchange. Lazio are hoping to steal the player from under Inter’s grasp and secure his signature in the summer, with three advantages helping them in the fight.

The first is that Kumbulla is used to playing on the left side of a three-man defence, the report continues, a role currently held by Stefan Radu, whose contract expires with the Roman side in 2021. This would give him significantly more playing time compared to joining Inter or Juventus, where he would have to fight harder for a starting spot.

The second advantage is that he already has two compatriots at Lazio, Igli Tare and Thomas Strakosha, which could help him settle in more easily. The final advantage is that Lazio president Claudio Lotito has a good relationship with the Hellas Verona president Setti.

Italian Media Report Inter To Offer Nice Defender Malan Sarr A 4 Year Contract

Inter have a four-year contract ready to offer French defender Malang Sarr, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the Nerazzurri are keen to sign the 21-year-old Nice defender, who will be a free agent at the end of the month, perfect for the current financial climate.

The centre back quickly became captain of the club despite his young age and impressed in both the centre and on the left of the defence. Inter coach Antonio Conte would be able to work with and grow the player well, despite his lack of experience in a three-man defence.

The Milanese club are looking to strengthen their defence in the upcoming summer transfer window, the report continues, and young talents like Sarr or Hellas Verona defender Marash Kumbulla are the perfect targets for the Nerazzurri, as they have a mixture of strong qualities and high potential.

Inter Can Only Sign Barcelona’s Arturo Vidal If Radja Nainggolan Is Sold In The Summer

Inter have no interest in including Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal in the deal for Nerazzurri striker Lautaro Martinez, with Radja Nainggolan potentially able to fill that hole in the squad, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the Nerazzurri have been close to the 33-year-old Chilean midfielder for some time now, with coach Antonio Conte being a big fan of the former Juventus and Bayern Munich midfielder.

The Milanese club have no interest in having the player included in the deal for the 22-year-old Lautaro, as they know that the Blaugrana would overvalue the player.

Inter may still reintegrate Nainggolan into the squad, the report continues, as it would be difficult to sell him in the summer, considering he is worth almost €20 million and has a salary of €4.5 million, with a contract expiring in 2022. The Milanese club would only consider Vidal again if they manage to include the Belgian midfielder into a possible deal for Fiorentina talisman Federico Chiesa.

Player Ratings Napoli 1 – 1 Inter: Unlucky Nerazzurri Go Out Of Coppa Italia Fighting

After almost three months it was time for Inter to play football again and Conte’s men started like a team that was hungry and wanted to leave an impact.

The first half was as good as anything seen this season and for long periods Napoli could not get a grip. The early slice of luck made the game tilt in Inter’s favor. Then Candreva missed a golden chance. Ospina corrected his earlier error and a fighting Inter go out of the Coppa Italia.

Samir Handanovic – 6: One heart-stopping moment in the entire game. Could not do anything on the goal as his entire backline was caught. Nothing to do in the second half.

Milan Skriniar – 6: As usual looks much more at home on the right and even went forward a lot more than we have ever seen him do. Fatigue got the better of him.

Stefan de Vrij – 6: Don’t understand why he was booked, but overall did his job well. Strong when he had to recover the ball, silky on it. Ran himself into the ground.

Alessandro Bastoni – 6.5: Huge error almost cost Inter a goal, but a nice block to make up for it. Moves the ball at a level way beyond his years. Suits Conteball perfectly.

Antonio Candreva – 5.5: Looked like the break hasn’t helped him at all. Touch seemed off, poor passing. Should have scored to double Inter’s lead but it lead to Napoli scoring.

Nicolo Barella – 6.5: Trying too hard. Helped Brozovic out a lot with his movement. Didn’t look calm in the first half especially. Much more involved in the second half.

Marcelo Brozovic – 6.5: Playing like he never stopped for 3 months. The only mistake would be shooting that volley wide. Movement, passing everything was precise.

Ashley Young – 6.5: Exactly the opposite of Candreva in the first half. Created some good space and used it well to create chances. Risked a sending off especially with Rocchi.

Christian Eriksen – 7.5: Eriksen hasn’t had a pleasant stay in Milan so far, the pandemic was tough for him. He looked hungry and ready tonight. Deserved another goal.

Romelu Lukaku – 6: Involved in almost every attacking move. Held up the ball very, very well and could have even scored with a bit of luck. Will get better with games.

Lautaro Martinez – 5: Missing for large parts of the game. Lautaro was struggling even before calcio stopped. This was one of his worst games. Speculation has gotten to him.

Victor Moses – 5.5: Decent impact off the bench for Conte especially with a tiring Candreva. Caused some trouble for Napoli and should have done better with his chance.

Alexis Sanchez – 6.5: Alexis’ first touch of the ball created a great chance that flashed wide. He could have got a delightful assist if it was not for Ospina. Great impact.

Cristiano Biraghi – 6: Another positive for Conte. Biraghi played his best 20 minutes of the season in terms of attacking movement and influence. Created havoc on his flank.

Andrea Ranocchia – N/A: Brought on as De Vrij couldn’t walk anymore out of fatigue. Played a couple of long balls and evened out any aerial advantage Milik could have.

Stefano Sensi – N/A: Barely noticed Sensi in the 7 minutes he was on, but it’s a positive to finally see him fit. Sensi was simply irresistible at the start of the season.

Antonio Conte – 5.5: Conte has to sort out the finishing in clutch games and has to work on Lautaro for it. The only error tonight would be waiting too long to make subs.

Rocchi – 4.5: Both bookings didn’t make sense.He nulled the booking on Young by letting him go but as usual let Inter’s opponents off easily, Koulibaly for example.

Inter – 6 : This Inter is a pretty good team and dominated for huge periods, but its not ready to win yet. Conte has to look to finish the season on a moral high.
