Inter could eventually add a pacey striker once they complete some sales and have been offered two proven veterans, Memphis Depay and Domenico Berardi. They have been playing coy about Albert Gudmundsson because they don’t have the budget to sign him at the moment. Things would change if they sold Valentin Carboni, whom Olympique Marseille covet.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via OneFootball), the Dutchman, who’s out of contract, demands €5M wages. Oaktree has been reluctant about onboarding older players, especially those with substantial salaries. He logged 13 goals and 2 assists in 40 matches with Atletico Madrid in the last 18 months. Como are also after him.
Inter would have to pay a fee to onboard Berardi, differently from Depay. Sassuolo could let him go on loan with an option to buy following their relegation. However, he’s recovering from an Achilles tear. The timetable for his return is uncertain. Plus, he’s more of a winger.
Despite Giuseppe Marotta’s recent words, Gudmundsson remains the number one target, Calciomercato informs. However, they’ll need one or more departures to have room and ammo to target him. The longer that takes, the more they’ll be exposed to other sides barging in, for instance, Juventus or Stuttgart.
Our Take on Inter, Depay, and Berardi
They’d probably be all over the former, and Mario Hermoso, if their front office still had carte blanche to target whomever they like without interference from the ownership. It all hinges on Marko Arnautovic and Carboni, but there’s not a ton of traction about their exits, at least a permanent one in the prodigy’s case.
