Inter and Denzel Dumfries have been negotiating a new contract in recent months with major optimism about a positive result, and that will indeed be the case. The wingback will put pen to paper shortly after the end of the window.
Inter placed themselves in the winning column, while Napoli bounced back with a splendid display at home, and Juventus continue to enjoy life (and football) under Thiago Motta's guidance. So let's recap the most compelling events from the weekend by identifying the Tops and Flops of Serie A Round 2.
Roma aim to add a quality midfielder in the final days of the window and are very keen on Davide Frattesi, but their dated interest is unlikely to lead to anything substantial. Inter have no intention of selling the midfielder.
Atalanta will add two veterans in the next few days, as they have come to terms with Rui Patricio and Juan Cuadrado, who were out of contract after their spells at Roma and Inter. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed that the two signings were imminent.
Tomas Palacios is about to become a new Inter player. The defender landed in Italy on Sunday and will complete the formalities early in the week. The Nerazzurri finalized the negotiation with Independiente Rivadavia and Club Talleres.
Reigning Scudetto holders Inter put last weekend's 2-2 draw against Genoa behind with a comfortable 2-0 victory against Lecce on Saturday night. A one-sided affair at Giuseppe Meazza saw Simone Inzaghi's team score on either side of halftime to post their first win of 2024/25.
Inter boss Simone Inzaghi has received a fitness blow ahead of his side's home league clash against Lecce on Saturday evening. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez could skip today's match due to a minor injury.
Inter haven’t planned any other acquisition besides Tomas Palacios this summer. The talks with Independiente Rivadavia, Club Talleres, and his camp will continue after the weekend. Their strategy for the future won’t be much different.
Stadio Giuseppe Meazza forms the backdrop for a 'David vs Goliath' Serie A showdown between Inter and Lecce. Saturday's encounter in Lombardia is a chance for Simone Inzaghi's team to erase the memory of a gut-wrenching start to their Scudetto defense.
Inter had a positive meeting with the directors of the two teams that control the future of Tomas Palacios, but it’s not a done deal yet. The summit went well, as agent Marcelo Simonian confirmed in some brief remarks.
Inter will host both Independiente Rivadavia and Talleres in Milan in a summit to sort out the Tomas Palacios deal. It has a few different components since he’s on loan to a team that has an option to acquire him.
