The Italian government have given the green light for group training to resume from May 18 but there will be necessary adjustments made due to the ongoing Coronavirus crisis according to a report from Italian news agency ANSA.

Athletes, including footballers, were able to return to training on an optional individual basis on Monday May 4 and are now within a week of being able to train alongside their teammates again.

The report goes on to explain that in the event that a player is to test positive for Coronavirus, then the entire squad will be forced into a two week quarantine period. It will then be at the discretion of the club doctor to decide when it is safe for group training to resume again.

It does however remain to be seen if the 2019/20 campaign will even resume and if it does, what will happen if a player then goes on to test positive.

Legendary Inter midfielder Esteban Cambiasso has come to the defence of Inter defender Diego Godin, who has come in for some criticism in recent weeks and months.

Godin joined Inter on a free transfer on a three year contract this past Summer after his contract expired with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid but has come in for criticism throughout his first season in Nerazzurri.

Cambiasso, who spent a decade on Inter’s books between 2004 and 2014, however believes that the criticism that the veteran Uruguayan centre back has been subjected to is unjust and dismissed the idea that Godin has failed to adapt to his new surroundings this term.

“Godin had the humility to try to do the best he could with what Conte asked him to do at Inter. In the three man defence he is not at ease, but often ends up doing well when playing at the centre of it,” The Argentine remarked in an interview with Spanish news outlet AS.

“He has made no serious mistake during the season and ends up going unnoticed in all games. There is no negative data to say that he has not adapted. He had the humility to accept everything that Conte asked him to do.”

This season Godin has made 25 appearances across all competitions to date. In just over 1900 minutes on the park he has assisted one goal and helped Inter to keep seven clean sheets in the process.

Inter are in pole position to land Dries Mertens should he not sign a contract extension with Napoli according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.

The Belgian national team attacker’s current contract with Napoli is due to expire at the end of the season and due to this Inter have extended a contract offer to him.

Inter have offered him a two year deal with an option of a third year with an annual salary of €5 million plus bonuses, which is the best offer Mertens has received from anyone, including Napoli.

The report goes on to add that Mertens is torn with what to do with his future especially given Inter’s rich offer and the possibility of being able to possibly win the Serie A title with the Nerazzurri club.

This season Mertens has made 29 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists for his teammates.

Former Genoa sporting director Stefano Capozucca has shared his belief that Andrea Pinamonti will return to Inter this Summer and then be moved on again.

Pinamonti joined the Rossoblu club on a season long loan with an obligation to buy for €18 million this past Summer but as part of the deal there is a gentleman’s agreement between the clubs for Inter to bring back the highly promising forward in the coming months.

“I really believe in him, I saw him for a year in Frosinone and then I know him from his time here,” Capozucca, who left Genoa last December, explained in an interview with Italian news outlet PianetaGenoa1893.net.

“I remember that Muzzi told me that he is a boy who can do it all, then when the first criticisms came he crumbled under the weight of the responsibilities. I think he’ll go back to Inter and go somewhere else.”

Reports in the media have suggested that Inter could well use Pinamonti as part of a deal for another player. It has been suggested that Inter could use him to get to Brescia’s Sandro Tonali, Torino’s Armando Izzo or Fiorentina’s Federico Chiesa.

This season Pinamonti has made 22 appearances across all competitions to date. In just shy of 1600 minutes on the field, the 20-year-old has scored four goals and has provided four assists for his Rossoblu teammates too.

Legendary Inter defender and former club captain Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Bergomi has shared his belief that Christian Eriksen can be an important player for Inter.

Eriksen joined the Nerazzurri club on a four and a half year deal in a circa €20 million deal from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in the most recent January transfer window but did not exactly live up to expectations in the games he managed to play before football was brought to an abrupt halt due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Despite his early struggles in the Nerazzurri, Bergomi believes that with a change of tactical system, the 28-year-old Danish international could be a big player for Antonio Conte’s side.

“In order to put him in the conditions to express himself best, a change of system is needed but I do not think Conte will do it initially,” Bergomi remarked in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia during the ‘Sky Calcio Club’ show earlier on today.

“Everyone has now recovered and Inter have a lot of depth in the midfield. Conte can alternate between players and at that point Eriksen can find space.

“Conte’s team found it difficult when they lacked the competitive fury and at that point quality is needed and Eriksen can be important.”

Since his arrival at the club, former Ajax midfielder Eriksen has made eight appearances across all competitions to date in which he scored a single goal and also provided a single assist for his new teammates too.

Milan city mayor Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Sala has revealed that he likes the look of the newly shared revised new stadium projects put forward by Inter and AC Milan.

Last week the two clubs published renderings of revised plans which saw parts of their current San Siro stadium incorporated for the first time after the Milan city council said they were reluctant to let all of San Siro be demolished as part of the new stadium project, which is expected to cost in excess of €1.2 billion.

The new plans from the Populous and Manica/Sportium groups have been receieved well online with fans around the globe debating over which project they prefer.

“I like the new proposals from Manica and Populous. My rigidity has always been only on two elements. The first, on the desire not to lose the Meazza. The second, on the desire to limit new buildings. The new project saves the old stadium, which will host many other minor sports and for the most part be free,” he is quoted as saying by Italian news outlet Calcioefinanza.it.

Sala then went on to share that he hopes an agreement can be reached between the clubs and the Milan city council with regard to the volume of extras being built as part of the project such as hotels, shops and restaurants.

“The demand for the volumes is still high, but I hope that a good agreement can be found so that the project is successful.”

Former Inter president and owner has revealed he does not know what the secret behind Inter’s 2009/10 treble winning season was as part of an interview with Italian television programme Domenica Sportiva, late last night.

“I don’t know, otherwise we would have repeated it. I think it was because we all believed and I myself was convinced that success would come sooner or later,” he began the interview.

He was then asked about the respective futures of Inter strikers Lautaro Martinez and Mauro Icardi.

“I think it would be good if Inter could hold on to Lautaro because he has great potential and there is great curiosity to see how he develops and what he will become. He has great talent but I do not know how easy it will be to keep him if the interest from big clubsis true.

“As far as Icardi is concerned, I imagine everything is finished for him at Inter. It comes down to PSG who will decide whether to keep him or sign him then swap him because he is a great player.”

He then went on to rule out the possibility of returning to Inter in some capacity, something that he has been linked with doing several times since departing the club.

“No I do not think about it and I do not have the intention of doing so.”

Next Moratti was asked what he thinks the current Inter side are missing compared to that of the treble winning side.

“The current side is very different to that one but I think it is still a good team. The attack is excellent if Lautaro remains, the defence is excellent and the midfield is good too.”

He then praised Inter for the way they have went about handling the Coronavirus crisis.

“Inter have done very well with regards to Coronavirus. They were the first team to stop their Primavera side playing and protected the first team players from this situation.”

In conclusion Moratti admitted that he was surprised that Juventus defender and captain Giorgio Chiellini blasted former Inter player Mario Balotelli in the way that he recently did.

“I was sad, because I liked Chiellini and I know he’s an intelligent and good lad. The idea of him venting out, I didn’t expect. I’m sorry for a good boy like Balotelli, who is always treated this way.”

Chiesa has been strongly linked with potential Summer transfer window moves away to both Inter and Juventus, who are long term admirers of him.

It has also been suggested in the media that the 22-year-old could well sign a new and improved contract with La Viola, who he is already under contract with until the end of the 2021/22 season.

“Chiesa has overcome his physical problems and has returned to being what everyone has already seen. Federico is happy, he has a contract. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season,” he explained.

The Italian national team winger has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date this term. In just over 2100 minutes on the field, he has scored seven goals and has provided a total of five assists for his teammates.

Barone also spoke on Gaetano Castrovilli, who has been linked with Inter, Juventus and a host of other clubs as of late.

“Castrovilli is one of the Italian talents we are betting on. He has a great margin of growth and is convinced of our ambitions.”

Former RB Leipzig manager and current head of sport and development of the Red Bull football empire Ralf Rangnick has confirmed it will be up to Timo Werner to decide his future.

The highly prolific German national team striker has drawn links to Liverpool, Inter and Juventus among other clubs in recent weeks and months ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window with some reports stating he will almost certainly leave his current employers for a new club.

“In the end, it’s up to Timo to decide what he wants to do. Here in Leipzig, he knows what he will get. He can play in the Champions League again next season,” Rangnick remarked in an interview with German news outlet BILD, which appeared in today’s print edition.

“The question is, where can he have more? Timo is a player who needs faith, he needs to know that the coach counts on him.”
