Inter‘s president Beppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio have set their sights on another player whose contract is expiring and could join, like more than half of Inter’s team, without a transfer fee. This time, it’s Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen. The 28-year-old defender, with a wealth of experience, plays in a three-man defense at Bayer (Inzaghi’s preferred system) and possesses qualities that align with Inzaghi’s football philosophy. In that sense, he would be an ideal replacement for 36-year-old Acerbi, as de Vrij, at 32, no longer offers strong enough assurances.GdS – L’occasione Jonathan #Tah per ringiovanire la rosa dell’#Inter: classe 96 abituato a giocare nella difesa a tre, tra abilità di testa, velocità, potere fisico nell’anticipo e nel corpo a corpo con impostazione evoluta.L’Inter può offrirgli una titolarità stabile e… pic.twitter.com/3L5usRT6Iz— Amala (@AmalaTV_) October 14, 2024 According to rumors circulating in Milan, Tah would be satisfied with an annual salary of 5 million euros. If this is true, Inter would have no problem meeting the German player’s demands. Tah’s arrival would further increase the number of players in the squad who have either come from or passed through the Bundesliga, joining the likes of goalkeeper Sommer, defender Pavard, midfielders Çalhanoğlu and Mkhitaryan, and striker Marcus Thuram.Tah: “I will not be extending my contract. A football career is short.”Meanwhile, there has been confirmation from Appiano Gentile: Barella has recovered and will be ready for the away game against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Ahead of the Roma-Inter match, former player of both clubs, Cristian Chivu, spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Romanian international stated that Inter has built a team capable of winning both the Scudetto and the Champions League. He believes the slip-ups against Genoa and Monza served a purpose and that the Nerazzurri will no longer make such mistakes. Chivu highlighted Inzaghi’s ability to rotate players without the team’s performance or intensity dropping as a major strength. When asked who he would choose to coach between Inzaghi and Juric, Chivu had no doubt.”If I could, I’d love to coach Mkhitaryan. I’ve seen him in training (Chivu was the coach of Inter’s youth team until a few months ago), and he’s pure intelligence”.##NAJAVA_MECA_8412320##
