Inter’s ambitions to return to the throne of Serie A next spring, make a step forward in Europe and establish a long-term rule at home are more serious than previously thought. Within minutes, the Nerazzurri announced on social media that Simone Inzaghi had signed a new contract with a significant increase, and the most famous transfer insider Gianluca di Marzio then announced that the Italian runner-up had definitely agreed on the return of Romelu Lukaku.OFFICIAL: Simone Inzaghi has renewed with Inter til 2024 with an option to extend for another season ✍️⚫🔵 pic.twitter.com/wXsvJU9CEt— Italian Football TV (@IFTVofficial) June 21, 2022 Despite the fact that he could not repeat the success of Antonio Conte and win the Scudetto, the club is very satisfied with Inzaghi’s work, which is why after only a year he was awarded a new contract and a 50 percent raise. Thus, instead of 3 million euros, he will earn 4.5 million euros a year, which will make him one of the highest-paid coaches in Italy. There is also a clause in the contract – the activation of it would extend Inzaghi’s stay for another year.Simone brought the Italian Cup and Super Cup trophies to Giuseppe Meazza, and he was practically in the title race until the end of the championship. Inter president Stephen Zhang enthusiastically posted a photo of himself shaking hands with Simone Inzaghi, with the message: “Working with you is a real blessing for me, Simone. I am very happy that you have agreed to extend your contract,”, and the post was “liked” by none other than Romelu Lukaku.Lukaku’s return to Milano agreed, Zhang to approve a 10 million euros loanThe Belgian could be the club’s first gift to Inzaghi after signing. Goalkeeper Andre Onana was agreed in the winter, Henrikh Mkhitaryan should sign soon, but Lukaku’s signature is still something that makes a big difference.During the day, Di Marzio announced that Inter offered eight million euros for a loan, with bonuses related to the number of victories in the season, which could raise the value of the deal to 10 million euros. That is one million euros more than yesterday’s offer. As it is stated, Chelsea accepted the offer verbally and now they are working on the final details, but the work is practically finished and it is pointed out that medical checks will be scheduled in the next hours, most likely to be done on Friday.The most important detail at this moment is that the agreement between Inter and Chelsea DOES NOT INCLUDE the option or obligation to buy next summer. As the Italians would call it in slang – it will be a ‘dry loan’. The drastic acceleration of the negotiations happened on Tuesday afternoon, after which Lukaku’s agent Sebastien Ledure came to Inter’s headquarters to settle the final details. The exchange of documents between the two clubs will end on Wednesday during the day.Chelsea have reached an agreement with Inter Milan that will see striker Romelu Lukaku rejoin the Italian club on a season-long loan, The Athletic understands.More from @David_Ornstein pic.twitter.com/KFr3YDO91N— The Athletic UK (@TheAthleticUK) June 21, 2022 Negotiations with the directorial tandem of Marotta – Ausilio on behalf of Chelsea were led directly by the new owner Todd Boehly. Lukaku clearly told the American businessman that he was not satisfied in London and that he only wanted to return to Milano, where he played the best football of his career and was among the most deserving for winning the title and dethroning Juventus after nine years.Big Rom agreed to a drastic reduction in salary so that he could return to the old flock, Boehly did not want to have a dissatisfied player on the team and came out to meet him. The fact that he had talked about this transfer confirms several days of speculation that Marina Granovskaia has definitely finished her stay at Stamford Bridge and is leaving the club since her closest associate and former owner Roman Abramovich did it earlier.Neapolitans in trouble – Nigerian star striker gave them a lot of joy but could bring them a headache alsoInformation is coming from Italy that Henrik Mkhitaryan will have his medicals on Wednesday. The Armenian national team player arrives as Inzaghi’s explicit wish in order to increase the competition in the offensive portion of the midfield and deepen the rotation needed to compete on several fronts. Like Onana, Mkhitaryan comes as a free agent since his contract with Roma expired.Inter succeeded in their intention to reunite Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez, and the tandem could very easily turn into a trident since Paulo Dybala is close to joining Nerazzuri. As it is known, La Joya has an agreement with Beppe Marotta, who recently publicly stated that he wants him at Inter. Nerazzurri were the only ones to submit an official offer for the Argentine in the last two months, but … In order for this transfer to happen, Inter must first unburden the budget and create space to cover his salary, which will probably not be below seven million euros.Wed 03:30: (2.09) Cordoba Santiago (3.35) San Lorenzo (3.80)Sport Mediaset announces that Alexis Sanchez will leave Inter first, then Edin Dzeko, followed by Joaquin Correa. That is why Marotta, known for his great deals with free players, asked Dybala and his agent not to rush the transfer. If they endure, they will receive a rich commission and a signature bonus.In order for that to really happen, Javier Zanetti, who went to Miami for talks with Dybala, who is resting there, also had to react. Zanetti’s image, significance and influence are immeasurable, and as an icon of the club and someone who is highly respected in Argentina, it is clear why Inter decided to make such a move.Mourinho the philosopher: A coach that knows only football knows nothing about footballAccording to current speculations, Dybala would sign a three-year contract, with the option of an automatic extension for another season. And that is not the end of Inter’s work on the transfer market, since a lot of work is being done on changes in the back line.De Vrij – Skriniar – Bastoni trio could experience serious changes, and everything will depend on how much the club is willing to risk. The Slovak is getting closer to moving to Paris Saint-Germain, De Vrij is interesting to clubs from the Premier League, while Bastoni is the safest of the three, which was recently confirmed by his agent Tulio Tinti.’For Serie A, Di Maria is Maradona’As far as arrivals are concerned, the short wishlist has been reduced to three names – Bremer, Nikola Milenković and Gabriel Magalhaes. Denzel Dumfries is reportedly getting closer to leaving, Manchester United have already asked about the Dutch defender with a price of almost 35 million euros. But Inter have to find an adequate replacement first.It will be an interesting transfer window at Giuseppe Meazza, without a doubt…
