Today, Inter have a good record on the pitch, but off the pitch, it is not a smooth ride.
There are no big troubles, but there are still small troubles. The main problem is two things.
First of all, the outgoing transactions did not go well.
It has been said many times that the situation in the inter winter window is that "if you don't get out, it's difficult to enter." But Inter's progress on the issue of transfer out has not been fast.
Sky Billiards City experts pointed out that the two popular figures of Inter's winter window cleaning are Besino and Kolarov.
Besino is unhappy with too little playing time, has the heart to leave to find space, Inter will not create obstacles, the problem is that the team that has the sincerity to buy him is very limited. In Serie A, Spalletti and others passed fiercely, but there was no substantive action. Only Genoa has actually negotiated around him (The Transfer Market once assessed the credibility of besino's rumors going to Genoa at one point to be 100% because the negotiations did exist).
However, the players were quite angry, and they looked down on this small temple, and the transaction was blocked.
Currently, agent Luci is running around for the matter to see if he can find an invitation from La Liga and the Premier League for Besino.
In short, those who expect Inter to quickly finalize the purge and immediately add young recruits (such as Nandez and Vratesi) may wish to remain patient and wait.
In addition, the audit operation of the relevant departments of Serie A has also begun to investigate Inter's 90 million accounts.
Not long ago, Inter milan officials announced that accounting personnel visited Inter's headquarters to conduct some investigations. Although no Inter staff were asked to leave, and there were no related allegations, just to understand the situation, the matter still made a lot of scandals.
Facts have proved over the years that when encountering such a major event that affects the organs and the government, they can only adopt a rigorous media. The so-called "exclusive material" of the tabloids is almost all rumors and has little reference value.
According to Ansa News Agency, the procuratorate is mainly investigating Inter's "capital gain" of about 90 million euros in 2017-2019, and several transactions that are focused on being investigated are Inter's second goalkeeper Radu (who made 7.7 million profits for Inter), loan stars Pinamonti, Van Hesden and so on.
In previous years, the above-mentioned players, Inter adopted a similar trading model.
Sell to partner teams at a higher price and set up "buy-back clauses" to buy back at a slightly higher price after a period of time.
Pinamonti, for example, transferred from Inter to Genoa for about 19.5 million euros in the 2019-20 season, and a year later, Inter bought it back for about 21 million euros. This time, Inter and Genoa have both obtained certain "capital gains" at a specific time, but how much real money did the two teams actually spend? Obviously, there are very few.
The procuratorate is investigating whether there are any illegal operations in the process of these transactions that the players are "inflated in value".
Regarding this audit incident, The Italian media experts have two different assessments.
A small number of people believe that this incident may create another "phone door" - the phone door was defined by the prosecution as a "clean foot storm", and now, some media have described this audit incident as a "clean house operation".
Anyway, the gimmick is there.
But more experts pointed out that this kind of investigation is "thunderous and rainy."
Because this involves a difficult question to define, who determines the value of players?
Pinamonti, Italy's national player, the youth team competition has also been a mighty cover figure, if you are An English national, it is speculated to half a billion, or even higher prices are not impossible, why did the Italian prosecutors say that his price of 19.5 million is "inflated"?
Another example is Van Hesden, which is also a Belgium international, one of the "national treasure-level key training objects" personally determined by the national team coach Martinez, saying that his price of ten million is too high, what is the basis? Who sets the price standard?
As for the transfer out, and then buyback, this is also a common phenomenon in Europe, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea... Which team hasn't had a similar transfer? "Milan Sport" satirically: "The big teams will transfer players out and then buy them back at a higher price, which is a common deal in European countries, and it is only Italy that will investigate this with great fanfare." ”
How this incident will develop after this incident, and what kind of undercurrent is hidden behind it, is not in a hurry to judge for the time being.
But at least for now, Inter didn't take it too seriously.
