On January 3, Beijing time, the winter transfer window of Serie A was officially opened, and in the next month, all teams on the Apennines Peninsula had the opportunity to further strengthen their strength. As the champion of the first half of Serie A, Inter Milan, although in the first half of the season played a convincing performance, and the team lineup does not seem to have obvious loopholes, so many media and fans, believe that in this winter window, the Nerazzurri can actually stand still, as long as the team remains healthy, the second half of the event, Inter will still be the biggest favorite to win the Serie A title. However, from the current situation, with brozovic's contract extension delayed, coupled with the back line of the big general DeFrey to stay has been unclear. If Inter do not plan ahead in this winter window, the team is likely to face a crisis, which will affect the pace of the title race.
Brozovic, who is the core of Inter's midfield, will expire this summer, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of money and wealth, the Nerazzurri have been trying to complete the renewal of their contract with croatian stars recently. However, from the current news, the renewal negotiations between the two sides have never been able to reach an agreement. Brozovic asked for a long-term contract with an annual salary of 7 million euros, while Inter has done its best to include various bonuses, with an annual salary of up to 6.5 million euros.
According to Italian media reports, Inter will carry out final contract renewal negotiations with Brozovic in the near future, if the party is still unable to reach a consensus on the extension, then the Nerazzurri will quickly choose to sell the Croatian star in this winter window. After all, behind Brozovic, there are a lot of suitors.
Whether Brozovic's contract extension is successful or not, to avoid getting caught in a situation of turmoil. Inter should be looking for a stand-in for Brozovic in this winter window. The previously rumored Roma midfielder Villar is actually a pretty good choice. The Spanish midfielder is now undervalued in Jose Mourinho's hands and has been largely abandoned this season, but Villar's strength and talent are there for all to see, and perhaps under Inzaghi Jr., the young midfielder can play. And inter won the cost of Villar, if the visa exemption is not available, then Besino will become a bargaining chip for interchange.
As the mainstay of Inter's backline, DeFrey is also full of variables in the future of the Nerazzurri. With the Dutch international's contract due to expire next summer, Inter's renewal of de Vrai's contract has not been launched. Coupled with the fact that the Nerazzurri are currently trying to get Ginter off the hook, once the German international is determined to join, the probability of DeFrey leaving Inter is quite high. Inter are interested in selling DeFrey this summer for a transfer fee of between 40 million and 50 million euros. Behind DeFrey, Barca, Tottenham and Newcastle are his potential descendants.
Once DeFrey does leave Inter, the Nerazzurri's proudest three-centre-back system is bound to suffer a serious shock. Although Ginter may join, compared to the German international's need to adapt to the Serie A environment and Inter's tactical system, if Inter can fight for Torino centre-back Bremer in this winter window, it will be able to minimize the impact on the team's backline after DeFrey's departure. Bremer's performance this season is a phenomenon, with the Torino centre-back having completed 60 interceptions, 155 regaining possessions and 69 successful races, all three of which are the best in Serie A. The Brazilian's contract with Turin expires next summer, and Inter only need to spend up to 25 million euros in this winter window to get the best substitute for DeFrey.
While Inter look good at the moment, the Nerazzurri must plan ahead, especially in the midfield position and the club must be prepared. In this winter transfer period, whether Inter will have new signings, let's wait and see!
