Market

Alessandro Bastoni moves on

Manchester City pay $116.1M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Inter get their man

The chase for Marco Brescianini ended with $35.6M changing hands and Fiorentina out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Player ratings

A brace, and Francesco Pio Esposito takes the afternoon — 9.34

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Francesco Pio Esposito provided it, and the 9.34 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Alessandro Pentima has said yes to Potenza

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Inter have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Benjamin Pavard hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Inter can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Marco Brescianini arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Marco Brescianini has, at Inter, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $116.1M sale of Alessandro Bastoni

He is going to Manchester City, the club has $116.1M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Squad

Federico Dimarco in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Inter this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Leonardo Bovio signs for Empoli while still at Inter

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Leonardo Bovio has agreed terms with Empoli for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Inter

The unbeaten run reaches 20. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings

Luís Henrique runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Nicolò Barella in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Inter this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Andrea Baldi is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The dugout

No hiding place for Benjamin Pavard

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Benjamin Pavard, and the manager let it.

Squad

Appearance number 100 for Ebenezer Akinsanmiro

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Match

After 4 games, Inter finally taste it again

The first defeat in 4 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Napoli; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Squad

Andrea Dorigo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Andrea Dorigo commits to Inter for another 4 years.

The dugout

Inter pick somebody else ahead of John Stones

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
