Pablo Caro, agent of Inter linked striker Adolfo Gaich, discussed the future of the Argentine talent in an interview with Italian media outlet Calciomercato.it earlier today.

“He would like to move to Italy, but he is in the sights of many clubs. Clause? About €13 million euros, but he could be bought for less.”

The 21-year-old Gaich, who is contracted to Argentine side San Lorenzo until the end of next season, has made 13 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 680 minutes.

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez discussed the comments made by Inter striker Romelu Lukaku two years ago, where he suggested that he would leave the Belgian national team after the 2018 World Cup in Russia, in an interview with Belgian media outlet La Dernière Heure earlier today.

“His words have been interpreted in a certain way. I think he mainly wanted to send a positive signal. What he wanted to say is that all that matters is the next tournament.”

Lukaku has made 84 appearances for Belgium since his debut in 2010. The 27-year-old has scored 52 goals in that time, providing 13 assists in the process. He has been a focal point for the Red Devils since the 2014 World Cup.

The 27-year-old scored four goals in Russia in 2018 as Belgium achieved a third-place finish, losing to France in the semi-finals. A summer later Lukaku moved to Inter from Manchester United, and has quickly impressed under the guidance of coach Antonio Conte. The former Manchester United striker has made 35 appearances across all competitions so far this season for the Nerazzurri, for a total of 2904 minutes. In that time, he has scored 23 goals and provided five assists.

Vice president of the Italian Footballers’ Association Umberto Calcagno discussed the restart of the season and the issue of playing games in the hot afternoon sun in an interview with Italian radio broadcaster Radio Punto Nuovo earlier today.

“It is necessary to remove the afternoon slot and play only in the two pre-evening and evening games. Playing at 16-16.30 at certain times of the year is a problem in the South, as well as elsewhere. Cancelling the afternoon games and playing over several days is the best solution.”

Calcagno suggested that removing those time slots would be the safest way to ensure that the players aren’t subject to dangerous conditions, especially considering the lack of regularity in their physical preparations and schedule.

“It’s a way to protect the health of the players who will be subjected to a crazy period. The players’ concern stems from the fact that no one has experience of such a long period of inactivity.”

Serie A will restart on the 20th June, three months after being stopped due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Italy has moved past the worst stages of the virus and is slowly removing the lockdown measures, giving some level of normalcy to the Italian people, who have spent months inside their homes in lockdown. Other leagues around Europe are also planning to restart, following on from the German Bundesliga’s decision to restart a few weeks ago. The Premier League and La Liga will also restart next month.

Former Juventus and Inter coach Marcello Lippi discussed the remaining title race and the matches to be played behind closed doors in an interview with Italian radio broadcaster Radiosei earlier today.

“Inter are further back in the league table but if they win the recovered game against Sampdoria, they are involved and Juve and Lazio have the direct clash still to play. In my opinion it’s a three-way race.”

Lippi also commented on the fact that the remaining games of the season have to be played behind closed doors.

“It’s a sacrifice we have to accept.”

Serie A is set to restart on the 20th June, after the completion of the Coppa Italia. The Nerazzurri are currently nine points behind league leaders Juventus and eight points behind second place Lazio, although they do have a game in hand after their game against Sampdoria was postponed.

The Nerazzurri are also still involved in both the Europa League and Coppa Italia, giving coach Antonio Conte three different goals to focus on. The Milanese club are hoping to keep a hold of their star striker Lautaro Martinez, who is heavily wanted by Spanish giants Barcelona. The Blaugrana are keen to sign the 22-year-old but cannot afford to pay his €111 million release clause.

Brescia have declined an offer from Inter for Italian starlet Sandro Tonali, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how the Nerazzurri offered Brescia €35 million plus €5 million in add-ons for the 20-year-old Italian midfielder, who is contracted to the Lombard club until 2021. Brescia declined the offer, instead wanting at least €50 million in cash.

Juventus are also interested in signing Tonali, the report continues, and so the Milanese club will need to move fast if they want to beat out the Bianconeri for the 20-year-old’s signature. The Turin based club have already shown the Nerazzurri their decisiveness in deals after they secured the signature of Dejan Kulusevski in the January transfer window, a player heavily wanted by the Milanese club.

Tonali has made 24 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2130 minutes. In that time, he has scored one goal and provided five assists.

Former Inter striker Christian Vieri discussed his time with the Nerazzurri and Brazilian star Ronaldo in an interview in today’s print edition of the Italian magazine SportWeek, produced by Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

First, he spoke about former Nerazzurri forward Ronaldo.

“That’s my weak point. I went to Inter to play with him. He’s a great guy, generous, like when he gave me penalty kicks so I could win the top scorer award. I love him, our friendship is strong, authentic. We talk to each other whenever possible. In the summer I stay in Formentera for a long time, and when I want to say goodbye to Ronie I just have to reach Ibiza at one in the morning and go to the Casino, he’s there.”

He then spoke about his relationship with another former Nerazzurri player, Alvaro Recoba, and how the pair have a friendly rivalry playing tennis.

“His wife Lorena can’t take it anymore. She asks me to let him win so he would calm down. In order to challenge me, when I lived in the U.S.A., he would do Montevideo-Miami-Montevideo in a few hours, he would play, lose and go home. Joking aside, Chino is special, to give me a hand with the Bobo Summer Cup he used to travel very long distances even when he only had a few days to play. The other night I was looking back at my Inter goals and I realised that at least 60-70% of the goals I owe to Chino.”

Vieri spent six years of his long career with Inter, from 1999 to 2005. In that time, he won a Coppa Italia, but failed to win a league title with the Milanese club. He made 190 appearances for the Nerazzurri across all competitions, for a total of 14,434 minutes. In that time, he scored 122 goals and provided nine assists, being a consistent part of the squad during his time in Milan. Vieri had a good relationship on the pitch with both Ronaldo and Recoba, which made him popular amongst fans.

Inter are interested in Roma talent Riccardo Calafiori, according to a report from Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport earlier today.
