Many were initially sceptical when Inter activated Matias Vecino’s €24 million release clause in the summer but after 12 match days, it is has become apparent that it was in fact a bargain according to Tuttosport.
The Uruguayan has become a vital part of Luciano Spalletti’s team, playing in a midfield two, where he has struck up a solid partnership with 23-year-old Roberto Gagliardini.
Moreover, Vecino has also allowed fellow new signing Borja Valero to perform with much more freedom in the Spaniard’s role as a trequartista.
Just five midfielders have ran more than the 26-year-old former Fiorentina star this Serie A season. In addition to that, Vecino is only behind Napoli’s Marek Hamsik for shots (21 to 30) with 12 of them being on target in comparison to Hamsik’s 16. He has the second most interceptions in the Inter squad also with 43 with central defender Milan Skriniar leading the way on the interceptions front with 59.
