For the third consecutive year, at Grand Hotel Rimini, sports directors of Serie A teams gathered again. This is considered the first signal of the transfer season in the top flight of Italy. Stories of transfers between teams will of course be mentioned, along with the kissing in a glass of wine.
During that conversation, there were surprises about Inter welcoming Lukaku back for less than 10 million pounds and convincing the Belgian star to reduce his salary. In addition, there are also sad stories about teams that are less fortunate in money. AS Roma General Director Tiago Pinto has enthusiastically introduced Svilar - the team's new reserve goalkeeper. Up to now, the capital team still does not have any quality name even though it won the Europa Conference League last season. Before that, Pinto only had time to debut Matic, the former M.U midfielder met Mourinho at Roma after his contract with Manchester United expired.
Mourinho is in remembrance of the club he once led - Man United with his former students. Matic arrived, Mkhitaryan was out of luck and took a photo with Steven Zhang at Inter's headquarters. Dzeko comes first, Mkhitaryan comes later, the Roma are gradually moving to Milano to join Inter.
Lukaku returned to cool Inter's face on the transfer table, the same happened in Pogba's case with Juventus. Before returning to their former teams, these stars had a total transfer value of 225 million Euros. They gave the club "in their hearts" money and now help them almost no money to reunite.
Not spending as much money as Chelsea spent, Inter's story with Lukaku is completely different. Ladure - Lukaku's lawyer confirmed that there was no case of his customer having his salary deducted when he returned to Inter and still said that "Big Rom" was the highest-paid star in the tournament. For Pogba, when he returns to Juve, he will receive a high salary like Dybala even though during his time away from the Allianz, the French midfielder played 80 less matches than his best friend.
As for Milan, how much the new famous names are, perhaps not as attractive as Ibrahimovic's continued stay at San Siro for another year at the rare age of 42 in history. No longer as satisfying as in 2011, Ibra of 2022 still knows how to help Rossoneri win Serie A for the first time in 9 years. In addition, "talented" Origi, after his contract with Liverpool expired, decided to choose Milan to continue to seek worship, as the nickname "Origod" he received at Anfield.
Last season, Milan won the championship but still lacked a breakthrough, which is why they spent most of their budget (about over 25 million Eurp) to recruit De Ketelaere from Club Brugge. Milan realized that defense was what helped them win the Scudetto last season, instead of relying on the attack to only rank 4th in terms of goals scored last season on the rankings.
Inter scored 15 more goals than Milan but in the end it was meaningless when reserve goalkeeper Radu could not block Bologna's goal, causing Nerazzurri to lose the championship to their arch-rivals in the same city. With no sublements for Handanovic, both Conte in the past and Inzaghi have now noticed the negativity since goalkeeper Padelli moved to Slovenia to play. Therefore, up to now, Inter is closely following Ajax's Onana. The 26-year-old goalkeeper's contract with the Dutch team expired this summer and is looking for a new destination.
