For Inter, their performance this season has been truly impressive. On the offensive end, they scored 51 goals in 21 games, averaging 2.43 goals per game, ranking first in the league and the only team in the league to score more than 50 goals. Defensively, Inzaghi Jr.'s side are also good enough, conceding just 16 goals, second in the league and having gone five consecutive away games without conceding a goal. Judging from the situation in the standings, with THE SIGNS OF FALLING BEHIND AC Milan, there is still a gap in the overall strength of Napoli, and Inter's road to victory this season looks like it is already a smooth road.
Due to the obvious advantage in overall strength, in this transfer window, Inter only need to fine-tune individual positions in the squad. As long as there are no large-scale injury problems in the team, Inter will remain the most competitive team in the league in the second half of the season. In terms of squads, Inter need to prioritize the renewal of players in the team. For some time, it has been reported that Inter's contract extension negotiations with midfielder Brozovic have been quite in-depth, and the two sides are even close to reaching an agreement. However, from the current situation, with the delay in the renewal of the contract, brozovic's future in the team is still uncertain. Perisic's contract extension is more difficult. It is reported that the in-form left wing-back has received Chelsea's attention, and inter are completely unable to compete with their opponents in terms of salary, so Perisic's departure at the end of the season is basically certain.
Handanovic's contract extension also seems to have some twists and turns. This season, although there have been some fluctuations in the form of the early season, overall Handanovic is still the most trusted goalkeeper in inter milan. This season, Handanovic has made 21 league appearances, not missing a single league game for the team, and has been relatively stable. That's not easy for a 37-year-old veteran. Sources say Inter want to renew their contract with Handanovic for another year. However, with Inter already finalising Onana's transfer, he is likely to become the team's starting goalkeeper after the latter comes to the team next season. In this case, it is reported that Handanovic has informed the team that he does not want to be a substitute fixed on the bench and hopes to share the playing time with Onana. This is a prerequisite for him to agree to the team's contract extension. For Inter, Handanovic's experience is very important to the team, and they also need Handanovic to help the Cameroon international adapt to the team environment in the case of Onana's newcomer.
In terms of reinforcements, Marotta's eyes are more on next season and taking the budget to the extreme. It is reported that Borussia Mönchengladbach wants Inter to sign Ginter during the winter break, and they are only priced for the German international for 5 million euros. But in Marotta's view, such an expenditure was completely unnecessary, and he only wanted to get Ginter in the form of a visa. In addition, in the transfer operation of Dybala, Inter also wants to adopt a visa-free approach. Because Dybala is worth 50 million euros in the transfer market, they cannot afford Tobala's transfer fees due to Inter's economic situation. Inter have communicated with Dybala that if the Argentine international agrees to join the team, he will receive a salary of 7.5 million euros per season, with a contract period of five years. Although such a contract is not much different from the Juve offer, because he has been criticized too much in the team, a change of environment may be more helpful for his recovery.
In terms of players in the team, some players who struggle to get enough opportunities are also using this transfer window to find their next home. This season, the 26-year-old Sensi has made nine appearances in the league, but eight have been off the bench, with a total of only 158 minutes. Although Sensi's talent is excellent and he has played extremely well, injuries that are too frequent have become the main constraints on his ability to deliver on his potential. According to transfer expert Romano, Inter have reached an agreement with Sampdoria and Sensi will complete the transfer on loan.
In addition, on the Juventus side, Dybala's renewal situation looks very unoptimistic. If Dybala leaves the team at the end of the season, in the team's front line, in morata may also leave the team, Keane's limited ability, Chiesa is also "difficult to support". The team had to sign an attacking player with outstanding ability. According to Italian media, Roma winger Zaniolo has become a target for Juventus. The 22-year-old winger has been in average form this season, making 18 appearances in the league, contributing one goal and being worth €40 million in the transfer market. However, Zaniola's potential is unquestionable, and with the right tactical system, he still has the hope of regaining his form.
