INTER WANT BUT AT A DISCOUNT
With a great finale, Moratti will talk with Lazio to re-discuss for a discount figure.
And he tweeted: “First it was hard to play well without attacking.”
Milan – No, it is not a joke: right at this moment, Mauro Zarate is almost closer to stay at Inter than going back to Lazio. The story is this: during the last day of the summer transfer market in 2011, Moratti acquired Maurito on loan for 2.7 million with the right to purchase fixed at 16 million. A huge figure. Mauro then scored the decisive goal in Moscow in the Champions League but that was it which resulted a thought that by the end of the year, he would return to Lazio and they all would be friends again like before. However, there is a raft for his shipwreck and it is called Stramaccioni one that says “show us who you really are.” Zarate’s response? Three positive games, one goal, with an average rating of 6.5. Moral: at the end of the year, Inter will talk to Lazio. Perhaps to buy him at a lighter and discounted price.
More of this for next season?
Always present Within a month, Zarate has been reborn. During the early part of the Ranieri era, Zarate was always on the field. It was almost like throwing darts and then, he was nowhere to be seen. Disappeared from the stands to the bench. Then came Stramaccioni and with him, the turning point. Zarate has played in all three games. Scored a goal against Genoa and has become an important player in the attack.
Without attack On March 18, he turned 25 years old but it seemed like nothing can change during those days. But with the loss in Turin against Juventus, Inter sacked Ranieri. It was the change of sensations – before and after – as Mauro said on Twitter. Ranieri was sacked on March 26 and then two days later Mauro tweeted, “I will give everything on the field for this team, whether it’s 20, 60, or 90 minutes, I will give my best and then at the end we’ll see.” On April 1, he scored a goal against Genoa and on April 13, he responded to a friend who wrote to him about his reborn. And response is an applause for Stramaccioni and an criticism to Ranieri: “Thank you, it was difficult to play well without attacking.” Very clear.
Re-discuss That said, here is the future: Inter are waiting to see if his resurrection is true and then decide what to do about him with the future coach. Certainly, the combination with Stramaccioni has worked for now and Massimo Moratti is not willing to pay 16 million to redeem his card. So? Assuming that Reja stays at Lazio coach, Zarate will not return. Mauro will be back to Rome at the end of the season and Inter and Lazio – if resurrection is real – will again sit at a table. The most likely hypothesis would be a discussion of a fixed price at 8 million euros. A few more weeks to know more.
