Gazzetta dello Sport have taken a look at the pro’s and con’s to four of Inter’s targets for the wing, Memphis Depay, Domenico Berardi, Matteo Politano and Simone Verdi.
Depay – “He is primarily a left wing, but can also play as second striker. The weak side of Dutchman is his character however, which he has shown more on social media than on the playing field. What he did with Lyon this season has caught the eyes of everyone. Holland will not be at the World Cup so it could be an advantage in the sense that Inter can get him to Appiano Gentile immediately and make him available to Spalletti as soon as possible in order to quickly enter the Nerazzurri philosophy.”
Berardi – “Until a few weeks ago there would have been only some cons. His overall drop in performance, accompanied by physical problems, raised some doubts about him. However he showed his quality again in the final part of the season, scoring a wonderful goal against Inter.”
Politano – “Politano has passed his Sassuolo colleague Berardi in terms of consistency. He did so by scoring quality goals and as a result his value has grown. He was able to take a Sassuolo side in difficult on his shoulders and bring them to safety and this is something that Inter like about him. His biggest weakness is his inexperience.”
Verdi – “Verdi’s ability to use both feet to similar effect allows him to make himself available for either wing. There are no limits from this point of view. However, in Milan, unlike Bologna, he would not have a guaranteed place in the starting lineup. His ability to show his talent, to win the trust of Spalletti and play regularly at high level three times a week are all questionable.
