Simone Inzaghi’s arrival from Lazio on the back of Antonio Conte’s departure from the Nerazzurri marked a change in aura at the club. But just like his predecessor, Inzaghi is a leader, marching his troops towards a potential second successive Scudetto title.
It has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport on which three players the former Biancocelesti favours in midfield as part of his versatile 5-3-2 formation.
According to the reports, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic and Hakan Calhanoglu are in line for a fixed role in the tactician’s plans for the 2021/22 season.
Brozovic is yet to renew terms of a new contract with Inter amid interest from Premier League and Liverpool in particular. However, he has managed to garner considerable playing minutes in the opening games of the season.
Barella is reported to be in line for a contract extension deal that will put him in contention for the captain’s armband, after veteran goalkeeper Samir Handanovic’s contract expires, of course.
Calhanoglu on the other hand, was brought in as Christian Eriksen’s replacement and he is touted to play a central and more attacking role among the three center halves in Inzaghi’s setup.
Inter face Sampdoria when the Italian season resumes over the weekend.
