Inter haven’t been able to find a solution for Joaquin Correa, and the chances of one emerging late are slim. The Argentine is likely to stay and simply be an extra offensive option for coach Simone Inzaghi, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
The veteran wouldn’t be inserted in the Champions League list. The final spot will go to Tomas Palacios once such an acquisition is completed. It has taken longer than anticipated due to some bureaucratic aspects and having to deal with two teams, but it will happen on deadline day.
Inter haven’t truly considered rescinding the contract of Correa. He makes €3.5M net, but they don’t want to register a loss on their balance sheets. He’s worth about €8.5M. They signed him for over €30M from Lazio back in the day.
The forward moved to Olympique Marseille on loan in the past campaign but struggled to leave his mark, failing to score in 19 games. The condition for him to stay permanently, the Champions League qualification, wasn’t met by the Ligue 1 side.
Inzaghi, who was instrumental in bringing Correa to Inter, would be content with the turn of events. He likes the extra depth, and the Nerazzurri wouldn’t sign a new option if they sold him. They’ll continue to try past deadline day. However, he’s not generating much interest in Turkey or Saudi Arabia. The emerging league is going after more glamorous targets at this stage. He has amassed 77 caps with La Beneamata, scoring 10 goals.
