Inter

Martinez on the verge of a new contract

Argentine Lautaro Martinez formed a dreaded attacking pair with Romelu Lukaku when Inter won the Serie A title this spring.

This season, Lautaro has got a new partner in the form of Edin Dzeko and together the duo have scored twelve league goals in the first ten league rounds. Lautaro’s progress led to interest from several big clubs, including Tottenham and Atlético Madrid, but now the credible transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that the forward has signed a new contract with Inter that will be presented in the next few days.

The new contract extends until June 2026 and the previous buyout clause of 111 million euro will be removed, according to Romano.

Alexis Sanchez can return to the Premier League

Alexis Sanchez, 32, has not had a sparking career since he left Arsenal in early 2018. The 32-year-old flopped in Manchester United and was therefore sold to Inter, but neither in the Italian big club has the Chilean got the game right.

Now Sánchez is rumored to be about to leave Inter already in January. The 32-year-old has previously been placed in the La Liga clubs Sevilla, Real Betis and Rayo Vallecano – but now there are reports that a return to the Premier League may be relevant.

InterLive reports that Everton are interested in signing Alexis Sánchez. According to reports, coach Rafael Benitez is a big fan of the Chilean national team striker and sees him as a player who could speed up the Merseyside club’s offensive game.

Sánchez has played 75 games in the Inter shirt and has been noted for 11 goals and 19 assists.

Inter midfielder attracts attention from Premier League and La Liga megaclubs

Liverpool and Barcelona are still interested in Inter’s central midfielder Marcelo Brozović, according to Calciomercato.

Brozović’s current contract with Inter expires in June 2022. At the same time as negotiations for a new agreement with the club are ongoing, the Croatian is rumored to various big clubs for next season. Barcelona, who are looking for reinforcements in the midfield, are said to be interested, according to Catalan RAC1.

Brozović wants to stay at Inter but negotiations for a new contract are not going smoothly, according to Calciomercato. Inter are said to want to lower the Croatian’s salary due to the club’s financial situation after the covid pandemic. PSG, Liverpool and Barcelona must be willing to pay Brozović’s salary if he becomes available on a free transfer.

Norwegian midfielder ready for an even bigger challenge

Sampdoria’s central midfielder Morten Thorsby, 25, may be ready for a bigger challenge in the future. Calciomercato now states that Inter are chasing the Norwegian national team player. The 25-year-old has continued his contract until the summer of 2023, but in recent weeks talks on an extension have stalled, which could possibly open the door to a transfer.

Inter is said to be ready to buy Thorsby in January for around 15 million euros. Thorsby came to Sampdoria from Heerenveen two years ago and has since had plenty of playing time in Serie A. This autumn he is listed for two goals in nine appearances in Italy.

Thorsby has made a total of ten A-national matches with the Norwegian national team.
