Transfer targets

Door shut on Nico Paz

Inter asked and Como said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Udinese come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Inter did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Andy Diouf has said yes to Lazio

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.

Transfer targets

Inter baulk at the price for Assane Diao

Como wanted more than $8.2M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Marcus Thuram signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marcus Thuram commits to Inter for another 5 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Inter

Hakan Çalhanoğlu and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

24 months and counting on Hakan Çalhanoğlu

Still no offer on the table, and Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

7 new faces, and Inter are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

Marcus Thuram asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
