Inter youngster Emerson Espinoza’s agent has admitted that the club are currently happy with his client in an interview with Ecuadorian radio station Area Deportiva FM earlier on today.

The 19-year-old joined Inter’s Primavera side on loan for the remainder of the season back in the January transfer window from fellow Serie A side Parma but is yet to play a game for them yet due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Despite not being able to play any games, the former Boston River player has still managed to impress the Nerazzurri with what he has done in training.

“Last week they did the tests at Inter, at the moment there is no official confirmation that Emerson Espinoza will join the first team but Inter are happy with him, they know how important he is.”

Inter, as per a report in recent months, have an option to be able to sign Espinoza on a permanent basis for a sum of €300,000 and it now remains to be seen whether the Nerazzurri will take up the option to sign the defensive midfielder, who is part of Ecuador’s under 20 national team.

Gaetano Castrovilli has insisted that he is entirely focused on doing well at Fiorentina amid ongoing speculation in the media which has seen him linked with moves to several clubs ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been one of the biggest revelations of the 2019/20 Serie A season and his good performances have went far from unnoticed.

The Italian national team midfielder has been linked with moves to Inter and Juventus as well as the likes of Premier League outfit Everton.

“I’m focusing only on doing well with Fiorentina,” he remarked as part of an interview with The Athletic‘s James Horncastle.

He then went on to discuss what has been a whirlwind season for him.

“It was a dream come true for me to just be called up for the pre-season retreat. I could train with the best players and show the staff what I am worth.

“Everything changed for me between Moena and the tour in the United States. I tried to do everything that the coach asked me too but I certainly did not expect what would happen next.

“Up until March, I would say that this season has all been a dream. I’ve went from Serie B to Serie A and I’ve made my debut in the national team. I’ve found it difficult to hold back the tears.”

This season Castrovilli, who has a contract with Fiorentina through to the end of the 2023/24 season, has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date. In just over 2200 minutes on the park, Castrovilli has scored three goals and has provided two assists for his teammates.

Club Atletico Talleres striker Nahuel Bustos’ agent Ignacio Campo has likened his client to Inter striker Lautaro Martinez and refused to confirm whether or not Inter are among a host of Italian clubs keen on signing him.

“The first similar player that comes to mind is Lautaro Martinez. He has many qualities that resemble those of the Inter striker, even his movements are similar,” Campo remarked in an interview with Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

He then went on to reveal that Club Atletico Talleres are in a position where they have to sell Bustos and he also revealed how much his client is likely to cost clubs to sign.

“They need to sell him for financial reasons and because Bustos is at the right age to move to Europe. He’s 21-years-old and his contract is due to expire in 2022. How much will he cost? More or less €10 million.”

Campo then went on to share which leagues his client is fond of and spoke on the offers which he has received to date for him.

“Italian football fascinates him, very much. Also Spanish and English football does too, of course. We have six clubs in La Liga interested and much will depend on how the seasons end, if they end.”

In conclusion he was asked about the interest from Italy where Inter, Napoli, AC Milan and Roma are all seemingly interested in signing him: “I won’t mention names, but we are talking with some clubs.”

This season the Argentine under 23 national team player has made 21 appearances across all competitions to date. In just shy of 1700 minutes, he has scored 10 goals and has provided four assists.

Italian football journalist and transfer market expert Niccolo Ceccarini has shared his belief that this week will be a decisive week for the future of Mauro Icardi.

Icardi is currently out on loan at recently crowned French champions Paris Saint-Germain from Inter and the Parisians have an option to sign him outright for a sum of €70 million, an option which expires this coming Sunday.

“This is an important week to understand what will happen with Icardi as we will see if PSG will redeem him immediately or if they will ask for a discount,” Ceccarini remarked in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Bianconera earlier on today.

Ceccarini then went on to discuss the ongoing links which have seen Lautaro Martinez linked with a potential Summer transfer window switch to Barcelona and also discussed who Inter could replace the Argentine with if he does go.

“Barcelona wants to understand if Inter will give them Lautaro or not. Who could Inter go for if he leaves? There is Cavani but his salary demands must be reduced.”

In conclusion, he then went on to reveal that Juventus are working very hard to try and sign Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali, who is also a big transfer target of Inter’s for this Summer.

“I think Tonali is the player that Juventus are making the most important effort for.”

Former Juventus and Italian national team midfielder Claudio Marchisio has shared his belief that Mauro Icardi could do well at Juventus if he were to join them.

Icardi is currently out on loan at newly crowned French champions Paris Saint-Germain from Inter and recent reports have suggested that Paris Saint-Germain are keen to keep a hold of him past the end of this season.

They have an option to sign him outright for €70 million but will seek a discount, something Inter will seemingly grant them due to wanting to avoid Icardi returning to the club at all costs.

Juventus have a long standing interest in signing the 27-year-old and some reports in the media have suggested that the Bianconeri club could try and do a deal with Paris Saint-Germain.

“I think he would do well because he is a great player, who still has room for improvement. He would certainly find the right environment if he joined Juventus but we will have to wait and see what the transfer market will be like,” Marchisio remarked in an interview with Italian news outlet Fanpage.it.

Whilst on loan in France, Icardi has scored 20 goals and tallied five assists in 31 appearances across all competitions to date.

Argentina national team manager Lionel Scaloni has sang the praises of Inter striker Lautaro Martinez amid continued reports linking him with a move to La Liga giants Barcelona this Summer.

Almost every day for the past few months the highly rated forward has been linked to the Blaugrana club, who reportedly see him as one of, if not their top transfer target.

“Taking Lautaro away from Inter is not going to be easy. I would like Lautaro Martinez to play, to have continuity. He will be the reference striker for the future,” Scaloni, who took charge of Argentina back in 2018, remarked in an interview with Argentine radio station Radio La Red earlier on today.

In conclusion, Scaloni shared his belief that if Lautaro were to complete a transfer to Barcelona then his new manager Quique Setien would find a way to utilise him as a starter.

“I believe that if he goes to Barcelona, ​​manager Quique Setién will find a way to make him play as a starter. He will have to however sacrifice himself to earn his place.

“The player we seen before the 2018 World Cup was not the one we see now, he has grown a lot.”

This season the 22-year-old has made 31 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 16 goals, tallied four assists and cemented himself as one of the most promising players on the planet.

Edinson Cavani may not be the best route for Inter to go down to replace Lautaro Martinez, should he depart the club in the coming months, a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Libero warns.

Lautaro has drawn continuous links over a move to Barcelona and talks between Inter and Barcelona over him are ongoing.

Should he depart Inter will obviously have to go out and find a replacement for him and the Nerazzurri are seemingly very keen on bringing in Cavani, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain is due to expire at the end of next month.

The report from Libero goes on to state that Cavani is more similar to Romelu Lukaku than he is to Lautaro and there are several doubts about him.

Cavani has just turned 33-years-old, which has led to doubts being cast over whether he is past his best or not. He has struggled for game time this season due to injury and missed no less than 17 games and his scoring rate has also slowed down with him only managing to net seven goals this term.

In order to try and get the best out of Christian Eriksen, Inter manager Antonio Conte could change to a different tactical set-up according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

Since Eriksen arrived at Inter in a circa €20 million deal from Tottenham Hotspur in January, he has struggled to adapt and has performed nowhere near to how everyone expected he would.

Eriksen does not have a natural role in Conte’s tried and tested 3-5-2 system and Conte ultimately prefers Stefano Sensi for this system.

However, in an attempt to get the most out of Danish national team attacking midfielder Eriksen, Conte could change his system to a 3-4-2-1 or a 4-2-3-1 in order to allow Eriksen to play in his natural position.

Since his arrival at the Nerazzurri club, the 28-year-old, formerly of Ajax, has made eight appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored one goal and tallied one assist.

Cagliari sporting director Marcello Carli has admitted that now is not the right time to discuss the future of Radja Nainggolan with the club.

The former Belgian national team midfielder is currently out on loan at the Rossoblu club from Inter and it is unclear where his future will lie past the end of this season.

Nainggolan could end up staying with Cagliari, he could return to Inter before being sold on to another club or he could even sensationally be reintegrated into the Inter first team, as per a few reports that have done the rounds in the media.

“Nainggolan staying with Cagliari? Talking about it now does not make sense now, he still has a two year contract with Inter,” Carli remarked in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia earlier on today.

He was then asked whether he thinks Nainggolan will remain with the club for the remainder of the season if it starts back up again.

“We have not yet addressed this issue, but the most logical one is that the player in question remains with us until the end of the season but I don’t think that this situation is different from what normally happens.”

Whilst in Sardinia, Nainggolan has made 24 appearances across all competitions to date. In just shy of 2000 minutes on the park, the former Roma player has scored five goals and has also provided a total of six assists.
