Former president of Panathinaikos Vasilis Konstantinou discussed Inter right back Georgios Vagiannidis in an interview with Greek media outlet Prasinoforos yesterday afternoon local time, as reported by Italian media outlet FcInterNews.

First, Konstantinou discussed how players need to be more reasonable in regards to contract renewals.

“I think the players should be more responsible with their agents. We must not forget that it’s not the players who talk to the club but their agents, who obviously wanted to start discussions for an early renewal.”

He highlighted that the situation involving Vagiannidis and Panathinaikos was different.

“They did, but when the time comes to renew contracts due to expire, most players don’t have an opinion on the financial issue and the contract they’ll sign and that’s where cooperation deteriorates. However, the issue with Vagiannidis was different, his demands could not be fulfilled, in my opinion.”

The former Panathinaikos touched on why Inter were interested in the player despite how little he played for the Greek club.

“Because the evaluation of the Panathinaikos coach is different from the one who manages Vagiannidis’ contract. Time will tell who was right. The players, however, are seduced by their agents who overestimate them. They tell you that if you play for one or two years at Panathinaikos, your price increases massively, while if you don’t play or do it very little, no-one will take you seriously.”

Finally, Konstantinou spoke about how Vagiannidis could risk the future of his career should he fail to make a good impression with the Nerazzurri.

“We’ll see about that. Economically strong teams make mistakes, but they don’t pay for them. I mean, the money spent by Inter on Vagiannidis shouldn’t affect them too much. While Vagiannidis, in case he doesn’t play, could pay for it and get lost in the system.”

Inter signed the 18-year-old Greek right back on a free transfer, reaching an agreement already with the player. He will become an Inter player at the start of July, and will be sent out on loan next season. The teenager has made 17 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1238 minutes. In that time, he has scored five goals and provided one assist.

Inter striker Lautaro Martinez expressed his love for his girlfriend model Agustina Gandolfo in a post on his Instagram page.

The 22-year-old Argentine striker, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2023, has been at the centre of transfer talks, with Barcelona hoping to pry the player away from Milan this summer. The Nerazzurri won’t let the player leave for anything less than €111 million, a figure Barcelona currently cannot pay. Lautaro would like the move but won’t force Inter to sell.

The 22-year-old posted a photo of himself and his girlfriend alongside the caption: “My love.”

Inter and Real Madrid have agreed terms over the transfer of Moroccan international fullback Achraf Hakimi, Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia’s journalist Fabrizio Romano reported via his Twitter account moments ago.

According to the report, Inter will pay Real Madrid €40 million with an additional €5 million to be paid in add-ons.

Inter have already agreed personal terms with Hakimi over a 5 year contract which will see he him earn €5 million net per season throughout the duration of the contract.

Romano reports further that despite reports stating that Real Madrid have a buy-back clause inserted in the deal, this has never been discussed and therefore this clause is not present in the agreement between Real Madrid and Inter.

Romano continues that Hakimi will undergo his mandatory medical exams next week before putting pen to paper on a deal that will see him tied to the Nerazzurri until the end of June 2025.

Achraf Hakimi to Inter, here we go! Total agreement for €40M + €5M add ons to Real Madrid on permanent deal. Buy back clause has never been discussed – no chance. He’ll join Inter on next week also with medicals and official announcement @DiMarzio @SkySport #Inter #Hakimi

Former Inter midfielder Wesley Sneijder revealed that he went out partying the night before a Champions League clash against Werder Bremen in an interview with Dutch newspaper Telegraaf earlier today.

“Once my wife and I attended a party for an Armani show, there was George Clooney, Megan Fox and some Bollywood stars. We got home at 6am and the next day I scored a goal and provided an assist against Werder Bremen in the Champions League. After I saw that it was possible to do it, I wasn’t afraid to repeat it!”

The match referred to by the 36-year-old Dutchman is the Nerazzurri’s 4-0 win over Werder Bremen on the 29th September 2010, a game where Samuel Eto’o scored a hattrick. Sneijder has revealed since retirement the issues he faced during his career, including how vodka became a regular drink for the player after his time at Real Madrid.

Despite his unconventional lifestyle, Sneijder was a core part of Inter’s Treble winning squad and also helped the Netherlands to the World Cup final in the same season. The Dutchman spent four years of his career with the Nerazzurri, from 2009 to 2013. In that period, he won a league title, two Coppa Italia, a Supercoppa Italiana, a Champions League title and a FIFA Club World Cup.

Inter coach Cristian Stellini, assistant to head coach Antonio Conte, discussed the Nerazzurri’s league clash against Parma tomorrow evening in an interview with Italian broadcaster InterTV.

“An important game because all games are important, and also because this one comes after an annoying draw like the one we had at home against Sassuolo. It’s been analysed and this experience will be important, we’ve understood that against Parma we must be more precise in front of goal.”

He commented on how the two teams drew in their first meeting earlier in the season.

“It was a draw in which we complicated our lives in the first half, creating problems for ourselves. Then we resumed the game and played it well and with intensity, knowing that Parma is still a very difficult opponent for everyone in Serie A and therefore for us too. We should be up to the challenge of a complicated opponent and perform well because otherwise all the games become difficult.”

The Inter assistant coach highlighted how small moments make the difference, rather than a team starting and finishing the game with the same system.

“More or less all games are like that, provided that within a game there isn’t just one, but there can be more. It’s not necessary that a game starts and ends in the same way or within the same project, so we’ll have to be good at seizing the moments that the game will give us to bring home the result we want. You have to be adaptable to interpret the game in the best possible way, and this was a flaw in our last game and now we have to change the attitude within the game.”

Stellini confirmed that there was psychological work done after the disappointing 2-2 draw against Sassuolo in the midweek game.

“Absolutely. In this period, especially after the lockdown, all of us are living a new experience that doesn’t give us points of reference, in which we know where we are now but we don’t know where we will be after a lot of games. We have eleven games to play and one at a time will lead us to the result we deserve to have. But we have to live them one at a time, knowing that the unknowns will be many and for this reason each one becomes a fundamental reality. We must prepare them by always recovering both physical and psychological energies, because without the head it is difficult for the body to support you.”

He spoke about the Nerazzurri’s stretched midfield department and if any players will recover in time for tomorrow’s game.

“We are counting on recovering some, today we will make the final evaluations with the coach and the medical staff. We hope so and we’re working for that, but at the moment we can’t have any certainties, we’ll have more tonight. We’re short in midfield, but we also have the utmost confidence for those who will be on the pitch.”

The Inter assistant discussed the Nerazzurri’s five changes to the squad between the Sampdoria and Sassuolo games, and if that rotational style will be used again.

“Making predictions is difficult, it’s a totally new situation and we don’t have the experience to understand what could happen. We have to live from day to day, planning. It’s a new aspect and so we have to be intelligent to understand what the future moments are and will be, because we know how we start but not how and when we will arrive. You don’t even know what the end will be, so you can’t have a real plan. You have to be good and prepare every game so that ‘one game is worth one’, the one against Parma is now the most important.”

Stellini commented on whether it was worse to be without coach Antonio Conte or Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar.

“Both are very important suspensions, both have hardly ever been absent. Fortunately, however, we’ll get to the match with our coach and with confidence in all the players who will take to the pitch. The preparation for the match will be the same, so the motivations will remain the same and the coach will always be present.”

He touched on whether he expects Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen to continue his growth.

“It’s clear that growth is never continuous. It will have to be constant, but every game and every moment of the game makes history in itself. We are more than satisfied with what Christian is doing, like all his teammates. We expect him to continue to improve, but we’re sure he will.”

Finally, Stellini talked about the summer heat and how playing in the 21:45 game still doesn’t fully help to reduce the issues.

“It’s a normal thing, we’ve also seen it in Germany that there was a drop in intensity in the game at first, we expected it. Then we’ll have to do a good job to recover our psychophysical energy because all games are important and we want to keep our pace and intensity always high.”

Inter and Real Madrid have reached an agreement regarding the add-ons in the Achraf Hakimi deal, according to a report from Italian media outlet GianlucaDiMarzio.com earlier today.

The report details how the Nerazzurri and Los Blancos have been in contact through video conference calls today, discussing the necessary add-ons in the deal for the 21-year-old Moroccan right back, who has spent the last two years out on loan at Borussia Dortmund. An agreement has been reached and now only the last bureaucratic details remain, regarding payment methods. The roadblock should be resolved in the next couple of days.

The deal will cost Inter €40 million, the report continues, with €5 million more in add-ons. Hakimi will sign a five-year contract with the Nerazzurri worth €5 million net per season plus add-ons. The 21-year-old could even take his medical examinations on either Monday or Tuesday, with the announcement potentially made by June 30th, although he won’t be registered until September 1st.
