Inter's goal this season is to defend their Serie A title while battling Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals. Inzaghi Jr. is good at three centre-backs as Inter brought in Atalanta's left wing defender Gossens on loan in the winter window. Plattenberg, a journalist for Germany's Sky Sports, brought the contract details of the deal.
Atalanta left-winger joins Inter on loan for contract details:
First: The loan period is 18 months, not the 6 months previously reported by the media.
Second: Contains a mandatory buyout clause with a buyout fee of €25 million, triggered by a player helping Inter score 1 goal (official match) in the 2022-23 season.
Third: The contract after the buyout is signed until June 30, 2026.
Fourth: The buyout fee can be paid in installments of 4 years.
Journalist Plattenberg said that this strange contract is more common in Serie A, and its fundamental purpose is to delay the acceptance of players, in order to get a breathing space in the current transfer window. To put it simply, it is to spend in advance and then pay on time.
The 27-year-old Gossens has suffered some injuries this season, but last season he was Atalanta's left-hand killer, scoring 20 goals in 44 games in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and 8 assists, so the mandatory buyout clause of scoring 1 goal is basically a "white give".
