The number that is at the forefront of every Inter fan is €45 million. This is the total which much be reached in order for the club to comply with Financial Fair Play for this season. Rather than sell a first team player, Piero Ausilio is working round the clock to sell players from Inter’s highly regarded Primavera squad.
While it may seem that every youngster has a price, this is not the case for 18 year old Belgian Xian Emmers. The player who, just last week, outgoing manager Stefano Vecchi stated was “the best player in the team” is considered indispensable by Luciano Spalletti. Indeed, Sport Italia report that the player was requested by Roma as a part of the negotiations for Nainggolan but this was rejected by Ausilio.
The midfielder, who joined Inter from Genk in 2015, has represented Belgium at all youth levels and was a regular for Vecchi’s title-winning Primavera team. He made 26 appearances this season, scoring five goals and delivering seven assists.
