In football, transfer rumors are always hard to tell.
Things are always full of variables in the ball market. There are also some "famous notes", and the reported transfer is simply to catch the wind and catch the shadow and make something out of nothing.
However, there are also some journalists, who are well-connected and can get information from various agents and team managers, and the accuracy rate is relatively high. For example, Di Marzio and Romano of the Italian Sky Terrace, such as Falke of the German newspaper Bild. Now, all three city experts have confirmed that Inter milan are the number one favourite to get Mönchengladbach defender Ginter without a contract, ahead of giants like Bayern Munich.
Both Sky Tv experts pointed out that Inter are busy negotiating contracts, especially Brozovic. Inter are also laying out a visa-free deal, with Onana far ahead of any other team. On the Quintell side, while there are plenty of player chasers, Inter are also in the lead.
Falke said: "Ginter is indeed one of Bayern's target figures, but he is only a spare tire. In the summer of 2021, Bayern had initial contact with the player team, and Sarri Hamikic is not a fan of Ginter. Inter remains Ginter's most likely place to go. ”
Italian media pointed out that if Inter can sign Ginter, it is also a common practice, the so-called "Eriksen-style signing".
What conventions?
In the 2018-19 season, Inter lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the group stage of the Champions League, and Eriksen sniped Inter.
Subsequently, Inter brought in Eriksen.
In the 2019-20 season, Inter lost to Borussia Dortmund in the group stage of the Champions League, and Ashraf severely damaged the Nerazzurri.
Subsequently, Inter introduced Ashraf.
In the 2020-21 season, Inter lost to Borussia Monchengladbach in the group stage of the Champions League.
subsequently? Inter stared at Many of Borussia Moncheng's players, Bensebini, Zakaria, Marcus Thuram, Ginter...
In the summer of 2021, if it were not for the injury of Tulum Jr., he would probably join Inter.
Now, Inter is frantically attacking Ginter, and there seems to be a kind of obsession that "it is not comfortable without the whole Borussia Moncheng" mentality.
This is also a tradition.
Ginter made it clear that he would not renew his contract with Borussia Moncheng. There are many teams chasing him, the Premier League, La Liga and many teams have intervened, including giants such as Bayern.
Inter was the first to strike, and the opportunity does exist. The Milan Sports newspaper pointed out that because of the good feedback received from the players, the Inter manager was optimistic about getting Ginter - just as Marotta and Osirio had also been "optimistic" about signing Onana, renewing Lautaro and Brozovic.
Ginter's style, people are familiar with.
Tall and long legs, excellent head-to-head ability, good backcourt ability, interception, blocking, position selection, prejudgment, protection and other aspects of the standard is not bad.
Some tacticians have expressed disdain for Kintel for three reasons. First, it's slow. Again, the aggressiveness is poor. Third, it is not adapted to the three-guard system.
The first two points are accurate. Ginter is more accustomed to playing protection, does not like to be fierce, and since his debut, he has not won a single red card in 278 Bundesliga games, and only 19 yellow cards, less than the number of goals he has participated in (15 goals and 13 assists). His number of steals is not conspicuous in the Bundesliga, but the number of blocks is in the forefront of the league for many years (whether it is blocking shots or blocking passes). In short, he is not a "top-up center-back" at all, and naturally he cannot talk about "aggression like fire" at all.
But the third point is not necessarily objective. Ginter is an adaptable all-rounder who has played at centre-back, full-back and back, and although he has always played at the club as a four-back, he has played a three-centre-back system in the national team, whether in the center or on the sidelines.
Perhaps, if Inter brings in Ginter, the biggest potential problem is: positioning.
What to buy and fight? Main? Rotating the main force? Bench? That's a problem.
This year, visa-free does not mean that it does not cost money. The salary of visa-free players will generally be high, and there are signing fees, agent commissions and other expenses, such as Inter's introduction of Char Khan Oulu, saying that it is visa-free, but also out of millions of commissions, the salary is also high.
To sign Ginter, it is natural to avoid vulgarity. High-paying signing to play substitutes? Too extravagant.
The German media believes that Ginter will not be satisfied with the positioning of "rotating the main force", and he wants to play the absolute main force. After all, to substitute for Shk de Frei Bastoni, the ace of three centre-backs, even if he is called a "fourth centre-back", the players will worry about not having much playing time.
Therefore, it is not excluded that Inter will consider a main centre-back while introducing Ginter.
DeFrey is of course the biggest hit, on the one hand, Defrey's age determines, at this time, it is difficult to sell at a price in the future. On the other hand, DeFrey's contract expires in the summer of 2023, his agent is Raiola, Inter must make plans early, like Brozovic, drag on until the contract expires before the problem is too risky.
Due to Inter's "budget overrun" in the negotiations to renew Lautaro and Brozovic, it is very difficult to renew De Vrai.
Skytai pointed out that if Inter can complete Ginter's visa waiver, it will consider working with Raiola at the end of the season to sell DeFrey in exchange for 40-50 million euros in funding.
Now in Europe, the new crown epidemic has rebounded, Italy has added an average of 100,000 new cases per day, and the authorities have ordered that the stadiums that were originally open to 75% are now only 50% open. Medical experts are concerned that the situation may continue to deteriorate, and it is not impossible to close the venue again.
In such a situation, ensuring financial security has once again become the focus of Inter's attention.
If Inter have the opportunity to sell players for money and introduce substitutes, they will consider trying, such as Lukaku and Hakimi.
