Napoli are refusing to give up on Inter target Dries Mertens and are attempting to convince him to sign a new contract, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the Partenopei attempted to offer the 33-year-old Belgian striker a new contract at the start of March, but the meeting between the player and president Aurelio De Laurentiis ended without a signature.

Leaving Naples won’t be easy for Mertens and his wife Katrin, who are both perfectly happy in the city and have been there since 2013.

The player’s teammates and his coach Gennaro Gattuso have been trying to convince him to stay with the club, the report continues. Yesterday, the club’s fans launched a petition on social media via a hashtag, #MeritiamoUnFinaleDiverso, We Deserve A Different Ending, showing their love for the 33-year-old.

Mertens is keen to play under coach Antonio Conte and has been talking to his close friend Romelu Lukaku, who has been tempting him to head to Milan.

Inter are unsure how to react to Paris Saint Germain’s request for a discount on Argentine striker Mauro Icardi, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The report details how the Nerazzurri want €70 million for the 27-year-old’s signature, the figure agreed upon between the two clubs last summer. PSG themselves have asked for a discount, highlighting the difficult financial situation they are experiencing due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Icardi had a €110 million release clause in his contract, the report continues, and so Inter’s request of €70 million is already a significant devaluation. The Nerazzurri want to avoid a situation where Icardi returns to Milan, as then it will be known that the club will take a discounted figure in order to get him off their books.

The 27-year-old has made 31 appearances across all competitions so far this season, scoring 20 goals and providing four assists in that time.

Inter would be happy to offer RB Leipzig Valentino Lazaro as part of the deal for German striker Timo Werner, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the Nerazzurri sent the 24-year-old Austrian midfielder to Newcastle in January on a loan deal, with a buy option attached worth €24 million. The Premier League side are unsure whether to purchase the player or not but Inter have a plan should he return to Milan.

The Nerazzurri would be happy to include Lazaro as part of the deal for Werner, the report continues. Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are fans of Lazaro and registered their interest in the 24-year-old in January, and so may be tempted by his inclusion into the deal.

Inter believe that Werner may be the perfect replacement for 22-year-old Argentine star Lautaro Martinez, the report highlights, who is heavily wanted by Barcelona. The Nerazzurri want a replacement lined up before they agree to sell the player.

Inter are working hard to try and sign Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.

The report details how the Nerazzurri believe that the 33-year-old Belgian may be the perfect fit for coach Antonio Conte’s tactical system. The player has experience playing in a three-man defence and would be able to play on the left side, a problem area for Inter considering Milan Skriniar’s tough adaption to the role.

Other clubs are also interested in signing the Tottenham defender, the report continues, including Napoli and Roma, as well as other Premier League clubs, Ajax and Atletico Madrid. Vertonghen’s contract will expire with Spurs at the end of the season, and so he will be available to sign on a free transfer. He has made 26 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2151 minutes. He has scored two goals and provided one assist in that time.

A report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has analysed all of Inter’s potential free transfer targets.

The report details how the Nerazzurri are interested in signing Belgian striker Dries Mertens in the summer, after his contract expires with Napoli. The Partenopei are working to try and secure a new deal for the 33-year-old, but there is still some distance between the two parties.

Inter are also interested in multiple Paris Saint Germain players who will be available to sign on a free transfer in the summer, the report continues. These players are Layvin Kurzawa and Thomas Meunier, two who could strengthen the Nerazzurri’s full back department.

The Milanese club are also keen on Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani, who could be brought in to either help replace Lautaro Martinez or play alongside him. The player is waiting for a sign from PSG, but it doesn’t seem likely that the club will offer him a new contract, especially if they are looking to sign Mauro Icardi.

Manchester United are seriously interested in signing Inter defender Milan Skriniar and are preparing an offer for the player, according to a report from English media outlet Daily Mirror.

The report details how the Red Devils are keen on the 25-year-old Slovakian centre back, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2023. United will face competition from Spanish giants Real Madrid, who are looking for a long-term replacement for Sergio Ramos. Inter’s request is around €60 million, although no club so far have offered more than €44.75 million.

Manchester City were previously interested in Skriniar, the report continues, but have changed targets, the same as Catalan giants Barcelona. The battle now is simply between Manchester United and Real Madrid for the player’s signature.

Skriniar has made 32 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2762 minutes. In that time, he has provided one assist and helped the squad keep nine clean sheets.

Former Inter defender Ivan Ramiro Cordoba discussed his rivalry against former AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko and other topics in an interview in yesterday’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

“First of all, that he was loyal, very strong you know. Shevchenko always expressed all his football with the team in mind and without doing anything weird. Without being a phenomenon, just to be clearer.”

He discussed how he would work hard to ensure that Shevchenko wouldn’t score easily.

“A defender must always make the attacker feel that he’s there, but I don’t remember him as a whining opponent, not at all. But above all, he wasn’t one of those rivals that make you want to beat them, even if he did everything he could to make me angry.”

The Colombian touched on how the Ukrainian striker did score against him many times.

“Yes, several times. But several times he didn’t, he scored a lot of goals, I took a lot of them away from him, stopping them. But that’s the way football is, you always remember who scores goals, almost never those who stop it.”

He moved onto talking about why he was the player often chosen to mark the player.

“Because he was fast, quick and strong mentally. If you tackled Shevchenko you knew one thing, if the ball went behind the defence and he got it, 99 times out of 100 it was a goal. But I don’t remember his goals where he started off and found himself alone in front of the goalkeeper.”

Cordoba revealed that he was never worried about marking any opponent, not even Shevchenko.

“Never had the anxiety of having to face an opponent. First because there’s a team defence and I’ve always had faith in my teammates. I didn’t feel alone against Shevchenko, never. Secondly because I knew it was also a personal challenge and so I prepared myself mentally, a lot, it was concentration, not anxiety.”

He confirmed that he did study the player before facing the Rossoneri.

“Absolutely yes, when you have to deal with someone as unpredictable as he was, the only thing you can do is try to reduce the chances of him surprising you.”

The Colombian spoke about Shevchenko’s first Milanese derby, where he scored two goals in a 3-2 win for the Nerazzurri.

“Before that day I’d only seen him on TV, but an opponent is something else when you’re facing them. I quickly understood who I’d be dealing with. And that day I wasn’t very happy even though we had won, a defender would always want to finish a game with zero goals conceded.”

He touched on the 2003 Champions League semi-finals.

“We played that game in a back three, me, Materazzi and Cannavaro. Almost man against man with Sheva and Inzaghi, they didn’t bother us much, but I wasn’t happy that day either, at least one goal had to be scored. Also, because we already knew that Shevchenko would hardly go two games without scoring.”

Cordoba spoke about the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

“In fact, on the return leg he scored, and it finished 1-1. And to think that I also played well, but if that day there was something that could go wrong, it did. The moment before the goal with the ball on his foot is something that I’ve been dreaming about it for a long time.”

Finally, Cordoba spoke about how he has previously named Shevchenko as one of the toughest players that he’s faced in his career, alongside former Inter striker Ronaldo.

“Never has anyone had the domination of the ball and the power in speed like Ronaldo. But I only faced him with the national team and when he was at AC Milan, when he was no longer himself.

“Sheva was the toughest in Italy not only because of the goals he scored, but because he was a complete and smart striker. You could never let him out of your sight, for him it was the inches, not the metres, that became decisive.

“Sheva started from the left, from the right, you’d find him everywhere, like that pain in the ass Inzaghi, but with all due respect, if Inzaghi ran I could catch him, if Shevchenko ran it was a gamble, maybe I’ll catch him, maybe I won’t. And if you didn’t get him back, nine times out of ten it was a goal.”

Former Inter president Massimo Moratti discussed many topics, including the Treble winning campaign, Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez in an interview in yesterday’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper La Stampa.

First, he spoke about his emotions when he remembers the Treble.

“We all lived it together very intensely. There was competence, a sense of belonging and duty. And passion, an added value that made it a perfect concert.”

He moved onto talking about the Coppa Italia final that season.

“The first goal, in Rome it was a battle against the rival of those years, winning the Coppa Italia became fundamental to calibrate our ambition, we played it as if the Champions League was already up for grabs.”

Moratti then discussed the final game of the season, a 1-0 win against Siena.

“Happiness and great security. In Siena it’s not an easy game and it’s not even the first title in that series. But victory brings us a lot of serenity, which was crucial given what we were about to experience.”

The former Inter president touched on the Champions League final.

“I have great memories of Madrid. I can see the training at the centre of Real Madrid, great concentration but not too much tension, the one that eats you up inside. Mourinho has always been formidable in this. I understood that we were on the right track, oh god I understood that, but I was sure only after beating Bayern, the easiest match in the end.”

He commented on how Mourinho left the Nerazzurri straight after winning the competition.

“Look, it is Inter’s fate. We won the Scudetto in Parma with Mancini on the bench, I then got Mourinho. And at the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, Benitez’s outburst made you realise that he wanted to leave. Let’s say we’ve always put our best foot forward.”

Moratti highlighted how he wasn’t impressed with Mourinho’s behaviour after that final.

“When I think about it now, he did something really terrible, but between us there was a lot of complicity, I knew everything but to intervene would have increased the tension. After all, before a 100-metre final, you don’t ask an athlete what kind of shoes he wears, you just ask him to win. Let’s say that he didn’t want to run the 200, but he could have waited until the next morning to say so.”

The former Nerazzurri president spoke about what advice he gave to Steven Zhang, the current president of the club.

“He’s a very sensitive person. When we talk, he always listens very carefully to advice. Well, it was the time of the transfer of ownership between him and Thohir and, unlike me, he wasn’t convinced of keeping Brozovic because of his character. I think not giving him up was a good deal. Often there was talk about Icardi and his qualities, but I’ll stop there.”

He was happy to see Antonio Conte on Inter’s bench.

“Great worker, he gives you guarantees.”

Moratti briefly commented on the words of Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini, who said that he hated Inter in a sporting sense.

“At least he specified what he meant. I’m more struck by what he said about his teammates.”

The former Inter president spoke about what year of his life he would delete and which he’d like to relive.

“If you delete one, you’re finished. Even in difficult times I’ve always been able to draw very useful values, so I wouldn’t throw anything away. Instead, I’d like to relive the years I worked with my father and brother. And the Champions League finals in Vienna and Madrid.”

He didn’t think that the current Serie A season should be completed.

“I’d end it here. It’s dangerous to continue, the balance is very thin. Sit down around a table, start thinking about next season and how to cushion the stop in this one. Trying to go on seems completely useless to me.”

Moratti touched on what would happen if he returned to Inter and who he would buy.

“I won’t allow myself to interfere. And Conte gives me confidence. Players? Those like Lautaro, who are good and can become very good. He amuses me, you always expect a surprise shot from him.”

He revealed that he could have signed Lionel Messi early on in the player’s career.

“I could have signed him when he was very young, but Barcelona was helping him to overcome his growth problems. I thought it was better for him to stay there.”

Finally, he spoke about how he feels about Inter’s plan to leave the San Siro.

“I spent most of my life in that stadium. It would be better not to say anything.”

Italian Minister of Sport Vincenzo Spadafora discussed the restart of Serie A and the controversy surrounding the FIGC’s protocols in an interview with Italian media outlet CasaNapoli.net yesterday.

“The FIGC wrote to us last Wednesday before 4 p.m. saying that they accepted the observations of the CTS. Then something did not go well within the world of football.”

He then revealed how the FIGC and Lega Serie A didn’t agree about the return protocols.

“FIGC and the Lega confronted each other and obviously were not aligned on adherence to this protocol. I received the formal letter, in which I was told that the protocol was fine.

“Self-isolation was put to me by the President of the League and FIGC at least a month ago. If they have now reconsidered or verified that not all teams have suitable traincing centres, this does not concern me.”

Spadafora expressed his disappointed that there wasn’t a common line between all European leagues, with some like Ligue 1 being fully cancelled whilst others like the Bundesliga have already been restarted.

“It must be said, however, that all countries have dealt with the emergency in a different way. Different numbers of infected, different rules for the resumption of the season.

“We have looked to the German model for the resuming the leagues, it provides for the protocol with a lower number of days of isolation compared to 14, but then we saw that this was more a wish than a protocol.”

The Minister of Sport discussed how a player was put into isolation and how there are no clear guidelines on how to deal with this situation.

“We saw the first case a few days ago in the German second tier team, he was quarantined for 14 days. However, the health authorities considered it appropriate that isolation for a few days was not enough but to quarantine everyone for fourteen days.

“So, let’s tell the truth, in the end nobody has absolute certainty about how to manage a situation that is completely new for us, for Italy but also for the whole world.”

Spadafora spoke about how it was important to stay calm and attempt to find solutions that work well for everyone, including the players themselves.

“I would invite everyone to be calmer. In essence, the world of football is asking us to move forward or for us to be the ones to be responsible for not going ahead with the season with all the issues of TV rights that entails. Footballers are also trying to contact me to tell me their concerns. Others can’t wait to start tomorrow morning.”

Finally, Spadafora discussed the seriousness of restarting the league and how the process can’t be rushed, considering how quick the virus could turn into an emergency again.

“This difference in position does not seem to me an inconsistency of the government but rather a complexity of something that we are all facing for the first time.

“So I would invite everyone not to say that we are creating chaos, but instead see that we are moving ahead with caution and we are trying to do everything possible at the right time, to avoid the worst thing that everything would restart and then in two or three weeks the whole country would be forced to stop, not just football. That, even psychologically, would be the most devastating thing for everyone.”
