Despite the ties with Juventus’ director Cristiano Giuntoli, Inter would be in the lead should Piotr Zielinski decide not to re-up his expiring contract with Napoli. The Nerazzurri keep tabs on all quality players who could join on a free. He’s on their wish list. Instead, the Old Lady hasn’t concretely moved for him so far, contrary to recent reports, Alfredo Pedullà informs.
The Pole is waiting for a solid proposal from his side first. The Azzurri’s director Mauro Meluso took stock before the recent game (via Il Mattino).
“Zielinski has repeatedly expressed his desire to stay, he’s very at ease here and proves it with exceptional performances. We’re working to keep him. I’m confident about his permanence.”
Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta was also quizzed on the matter over the weekend.
“It’s clear that, when you talk about potential free agents who are linked to Inter, there’s no real approach at the moment. Our directors are good at monitoring the market and know who they are. Their caliber favors the media chatter. However, he’ll decide with Napoli what to do.”
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Nerazzurri would make a strong run at Zielinski only if they had to replace Henrikh Mkhitaryan. He has a richer and longer contractual offer from Saudi Arabia. Instead, the Scudetto holders asked their star to slash his current wages by 30 percent.
