In an interview with Spanish news outlet AS via social media platform Instagram, former Inter winger Keita Balde has reminisced about the season he spent on loan at the Nerazzurri from AS Monaco.

“My time at Inter was short but intense, with many emotions. I scored a goal that helped the team to the Champions League. It was unique,” he began the interview which was broadcast late last night.

He was then asked which is the bigger derby in Italy, the Derby della Capitale between Lazio and Roma or Derby della Madonnina between Inter and AC Milan.

“The one in Rome is more combative and heartfelt. It is unique. The one in Milan has more glamour because they are the two big teams in Italy, besides Juventus.. It is a class derby. Each has its own special aspects.”

The Senegalese international was then asked about Lautaro Martinez and the continued speculation regarding the 22-year-old Argentine’s future with Inter amid links to Barcelona.

“I like him very much. I played with him last year and I felt very comfortable with him. He is fast and is doing well. I don’t think Inter will let him go, but if I were in Barça I would try to sign him.

“It’s complicated though because Inter are building a team to get to the top and to try to take the Scudetto off of Juventus.”

25-year-old Keita Balde spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Inter during which time he made 29 appearances across all competitions. In just over 1000 minutes on the park, he scored five goals and provided two assists for his Nerazzurri teammates.

This season at Monaco, he has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date in which he has scored eight goals and tallied four assists.

In an interview with sports broadcaster ESPN, legendary French centre back Frank Lebouef has shared his views on Inter striker Mauro Icardi’s loan spell with reigning French champions Paris Saint Germain.

Icardi joined the Ligue 1 outfit this past Summer on a season long loan from Inter and PSG have an option to sign him up on a permanent basis for €70 million although it remains unclear whether they will take up this option or not.

“If I were PSG would I keep Icardi? Well we have seen two Icardi’s in fact. At the beginning we saw a very good player who was always in the right place and scored many goals and then we saw him not very happy with the coach’s decisions, not really being fit or very concerned about what he has to do in the second part of the season.

“It is hard to make up your mind up about Icardi and to know exactly about if you are really sure if you want to get him.”

The 1998 World Cup winner then went on to state that he thinks there is still more to come from Icardi.

“I think he had a decent season so far. I can bet on him that he can do better and well for Paris Saint Germain so I want to believe he has not shown his best for the moment and can do better.”

He was then asked if he thinks that Paris Saint Germain boss Thomas Tuchel wishes to keep the 27-year-old Argentine around.

“I’m not sure. After the fight they had where Icardi criticised Tuchel at certain points, I’m not sure but we do not really know what is going on with Tuchel.

“What is going to happen with Tuchel? Will he stay or will he go to Bayern Munich? That’s another question so there is lots for Paris Saint Germain’s board to think about before the end of the season.”

Whilst in the French capital, Icardi has made 31 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 20 goals and provided a total of four assists for his teammates.

Inter and AC Milan look set to battle it out for several players among themselves in the upcoming Summer transfer window according to a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.

Inter are on the look-out for a goalkeeper capable of coming in as back-up to Samir Handanovic initially before eventually succeeding him whilst AC Milan are also looking at goalkeepers they could move for if current number one Gianluigi Donnarumma leaves the club.

Napoli’s Alex Meret and Udinese’s Juan Musso are on both clubs radars and the report from the Milan based newspaper goes on to state that highly rated River Plate centre back Lucas Martinez Quarta is also a target for both the Nerazzurri and Rossoneri clubs.

The 23-year-old has a €22 million release clause in his current contract with the Superliga Argentina side but his agent Gustavo Goni has recently admitted that clubs may be able to acquire his client for a little less than that.

Inter goalkeeper Ionut Andrei Radu is understood to be on Torino’s radar as they look for a back-up option for Salvatore Sirigu according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.

The Romanian national team shot-stopper is currently out on loan at Parma and is one of four players that the Granata club are thinking about.

Spezia’s Simone Scuffet, Benevento’s Lorenzo Montipo and Cittadella’s Alberto Paleari are the other three goalkeepers being thought about by Torino management.

The report from the Turin based newspaper goes on to state that it will not be easy for Torino to acquire Radu, who they feel is the most reliable option of the four goalkeepers they have in mind.

Radu spent the first half of this season out on loan at Genoa and was virtually ever present but very surprisingly lost his place in the team to Mattia Perin. Inter proceeded to recall him and loan him out to Parma for the second half of the season but he is yet to represent the Ducali.

Stefan de Vrij will soon sign a contract extension with Inter according to a report in today’s print edition of La Repubblica.

The Dutch national team defender has been Inter’s star defender this term and one of the best in all of Serie A and Inter are set to reward him with a new deal.

The 28-year-old is already under contract with the club until the end of the 2022/23 season but the club wish to extend his deal.

The report from the Rome based newspaper goes on to state that Milan Skriniar has also already put pen to paper on a new contract with Inter, which will presumably be announced soon.

Skriniar has drawn links to several clubs for some time now and is one of the most coveted defenders in Europe but Inter have moved to tie him down to an extended deal in a bid to deter the interest.

Racing Club are keeping a close eye on Inter striker Lautaro Martinez’s situation due to the fact they will be due a percentage of any sale according to a report from Argentine news outlet Infobae.

The Superliga Argentina side sold the highly rated 22-year-old to Inter back in the Summer of 2018 in a circa €20 million deal and as part of the deal they secured a clause which entitles them to 10% of any transfer deal worth over €14 million.

Therefore, if Lautaro’s €111 million release clause is paid, Racing Club could make as much as €9.7 million. They may make even more though because as per the report, if other players are included in the deal too their values will be incorporated into the overall price.

This season Lautaro has made 31 appearances across all competitions in which he has scored 16 goals and provided four assists.
