Genoa’s Armando Izzo seems to be Inter’s main target for the defense. Today Alfredo Pedulla reported that Inter are getting closer to signing the Italian defender. The Nerazzurri have been following the player since mid December, and Izzo could replace the outgoing Ranocchia. There is a lot of talk about Inter acquiring the defender for a loan with a right of redemption, and a deal could involve Diego Laxalt (currently on loan at Genoa). The Genoa player has a contract with the Grifone until 2019 and currently earns 500 000 euros a year. A deal is yet to materialize, and Izzo is a real target for Inter.
is Izzo really better than JJ, Vidic or even Rano? I mean why do we even need to go for this guy. Murillo and Miranda are clearly the starters. But if we keep JJ as a backup and worst case use Medel, then why do we need to go for another CB that is just going to sit on the bench. Maybe next year when we are in europe but for now i dont think this is necessary.
Laxalt shold have more value than Izzo, he already played handful of games and scoring against big clubs.
