Inter, Hakimi at PSG is done. At Inter 60 million. And Florenzi reappears

Vincenzo D’Angelo-Davide Stoppini

May 29
– MILANO

Achraf Hakimi is at the greetings. He was the first signing last season, now he will be the first player to leave after the Scudetto. The negotiation between Inter and PSG is in a very advanced state, it is not long before the signatures are reached. The Nerazzurri club will collect an amount close to 60 million euros. All cash, with no counterparts: at first, at the request of the Parisian club, there was talk of the inclusion of the Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes in the deal. But soon the negotiation moved to the track that Zhang’s company preferred, precisely to meet the economic needs of the club. Inter need to get between 90 and 100 million euros in assets from the next market. Cash is needed, net of capital gains. This is why Hakimi’s farewell, which also has a residual budget cost of 32 million, is still convenient. And it allows the Nerazzurri club, now, to look to the future with more calm and confidence, to hit the target.

Men from … 90

The club’s plan, as we have already told, is to be able to sell only one top player, one of the famous seven untouchables of the Conte era. To get to 90-100 million, now will need a great job by the director Piero Ausilio. In other words, being able to place some less central players in the technical project by making cash. Or, even better, those returning from the loan. Certainly something can be gained from the sale of Joao Mario, who comes from an excellent season at Sporting with whom he won the Portuguese championship. The Lisbon club aims to confirm Joao Mario, who is also liked in Spain: the midfielder still has one year on his contract with Inter and so this is the right session to get something in return. In Portugal they are convinced that he will stay at Sporting, ready to invest 8 million for the final purchase. Then keep an eye on the Nainggolan situation, which closed the last championship in Cagliari with a crescendo and is central to the Semplici project in Sardinia. Nainggolan has a heavy contract: 4.5 million net per season for another year. Gross, only of wages, Inter would save 9 million. These days it is already something. Today, however, it is difficult to get an idea of ​​what will happen with Dalbert and Lazaro: Inter is certainly waiting for offers to be able to put on the scoresheet other valuable releases for the final goal.

Scudeted at the exit

And other players in the Scudetto are also on the market. Stefano Sensi really likes De Zerbi, fresh Shakhtar coach. Ambitious project and guaranteed European showcase, but the idea of ​​leaving Italy does not seem to interest the former Sassuolo midfielder. That Gattuso would like to put at the center of his new Fiorentina: Commisso wants to give his new coach important players to try to fight for a place in Europe. And speaking of feeling with the coaches, keep an eye on the possible Napoli track for Vecino, tied by another year of a 2.5 million contract. Spalletti could make his name to reinforce the blue median and Inter could get another 6-8 million. For Perisic we will see, perhaps after the European Championship.

Incoming transactions

In the meantime, we need to stay tuned to the Milan-Paris axis. The arrival under the Hakimi Tower would certify the renunciation of the PSG to Florenzi, ready to return to Rome but not to unpack. Inter had already moved with Conte and the interest remains intact even without the Salento coach. Florenzi is a precious joker for the wings but can also play from inside midfield. A level alternative, with a path in the Champions League as a protagonist in the last season. Of course, it is not the profile that can help to quickly close the sale of Hakimi, but Inter needs to play on more tables and also to think about giving Simone Inzaghi pawns able to keep the squad competitive. Meanwhile, the company has exercised the unilateral clause for the one-year renewal of Danilo D’Ambrosio, who now has a counter-clause that provides for the possibility of freeing himself in the face of a more advantageous offer for him. Naples, Rome and Fiorentina are thinking about it, it is difficult for Inter to possibly make counter-proposals to convince him to stay. D’Ambrosio is one of the dressing room veterans, one of those used to lead by example with the culture of work. An important presence for the serenity of the group, like that of Stefan Radu in the Lazio locker room. The Romanian defender is a very loyal one of Inzaghi and it is not excluded that he may follow him to Milan to become deputy Bastoni: 34 years old, 412 appearances for Lazio and 14 with his national team. Charisma and low salary can facilitate the success of the operation. Of course, the fans expect more. But if Hakimi’s sacrifice alone is enough to stop the emergency, the team’s backbone will remain top-level.
