Marseille failed to pull off a miracle and lost the support of a large number of Inter fans.
Marseille have a good squad that sit eighth in the league this season and are out of Europe, so Correa's buy-out clause will not be activated.
The 70-year-old coach Gassett was powerless to put out the fire, and he thought it was time for him to enjoy his retirement.
Marseille have a league game to play this season and Gasset said in an interview before the game: "This will be the last game of my coaching career and it will be a pleasure to be in charge of Marseille. At home to Marseille, I got goosebumps. I hope to win the last race so I can leave with peace of mind.
Correa has played just once in his last six games, for just eight minutes. I don't know if Gassett will give Correa another chance in the farewell fight. Marseille fans don't want to see Correa anymore, and so do Inter fans.
Sampdoria fans also failed to witness the miracle as their home side were knocked out of the promotion play-offs, with manager Andrea Pirlo saying afterwards: "It's hard to see the players crying in the dressing room, we let the fans down.
Pirlo, who has one year left on his contract, is willing to lead Sampdoria to a comeback next season.
With Sampdoria eliminated, Inter Milan officially missed the 7 million euro buyout fee.
Pirlo was willing to reuse Sebastiano Esposito, who started in the crucial game against Palermo, where he played 90 minutes with two shots, five successful dribbles, won 14 physical duels, made four tackles and lost the ball a game-high 36. Stankovic Jr. also started as he made two saves and was twice blotted by opponents to make it 2-0.
Italian striker Sebastiano Esposito's loan deal includes a €7 million buy-out clause conditional on Sampdoria being promoted this season.
Esposito has six goals and four assists in 23 appearances this season, while Stankovic Jr. has 38 appearances and 104 saves, and they will all return to Inter first. As it stands, Inzaghi has no plans to use the two youngsters next season.
Inter will face a multi-front battle next season, and with the Club World Cup next year, Inzaghi will be hoping to bring in a number of instant players to strengthen the depth of the squad.
One thing to say, Inzaghi Jr.'s request is reasonable, but Inter's management also has difficulties.
Although Inter's finances have improved significantly compared to the epidemic, the budget for reinforcements is still limited, and it must be sold before it is bought.
Previously, "Milan Sport" also mentioned that Inter need to sell some young players in order to raise money to buy the reinforcements they want.
Zhang Kangyang previously said in the live broadcast that he is promoting Inter's trip to China this summer, and it has not been 100% finalized. At that time, many Chinese Inter fans were looking forward to it.
Now some fans are worried about whether the trip to China will go ahead as scheduled.
"Milan Sports Daily" recently broke the news that Oaktree Capital is likely to take over Inter, in which case Zhang Kangyang will leave. If Zhang Kangyang is no longer the president of Inter, the plan for the trip to China will not be implemented.
Previously, the media broke the news that Zhang Kangyang's refinancing negotiations were close to breaking down, and there were still two days before the repayment date.
Zhang Kangyang borrowed 275 million euros from the Oaktree Fund in 2021 at an interest rate of 12%. The loan will mature on May 20 this year. According to the contract, the total principal and interest to be repaid is 380 million euros.
Only 175 million euros have been spent on the loan, with 100 million euros still unspent.
A source told Italian media that the Oaktree Fund has been trying to broker negotiations and has not created difficulties for Suning's new loan. The Oaktree Fund is more hopeful that Inter will be sold, and Zhang Kangyang is still likely to repay the loan before the deadline next week.
The management, the manager and the players received the Ambrogino Award from Mayor Sala at the Municipality of Milan in recognition of Inter's second star.
Inzaghi Jr. and Lautaro spoke as representatives.
Inzaghi Jr. said: "We are very honoured to be here, we all know how prestigious this award is. On behalf of myself and the whole team, I would also like to thank the whole city of Milan and especially our fans. Without them, we might not have embarked on this journey so confidently and would not be where we are today.
Lautaro said: "It is an honour for us to receive this award. I would also like to thank the people of Milan, our fans and all those who work with us. We have to keep going on this path and try to take Inter to greater heights.
