In Bergamo against Atalanta – the game that last year meant the beginning to the end of Andrea Stramaccioni’s coaching career at Inter – Rodrigo Palacio (who scored in last season’s 3-2 defeat) is yet again expected to lead Inter’s line of attack. Mazzarri still cannot count on Diego Milito, who hopefully will be available for the game against Bologna on November the 24th.  Belfodil will be suspended for the next two games and Mauro Icardi is, according to Mazzarri himself, not fit enough to play more than maybe half an hour. The only alternative is to continue to play Palacio, who more and more is becoming a leader at Inter, and a player who the club is looking to sign a new contract with in order to ensure his future in black and blue. An extension of the contract, which currently expires in 2015, would probably make Palacio Inter’s highest paid player since both Cambiasso’s and Milito’s deals are running out at the end of the season. Palacio currently earns 2.7 million euros, plus bonuses.
