Our Take on Inter and Lazio Signing Pavard and Guendouzi
La Beneamata will save face this time, and it’s a massive acquisition. Instead, It took the Biancocelesti a while to get there, but replacing their ace with multiple players was the way to go. They were lacking somebody with his characteristics. They generally succeed adding players just entering their prime.
