According to Corriere dello Sport, Beppe Marotta will be announced as Inter’s new administrative director of sports no later than December 15th and the objective is clear: To win the Scudetto in 2021. This is the mission that the Zhang family has entrusted him with.
Of course the best thing would be to achieve it next season, but gradual growth is considered a good thing. Not to mention that the Nerazzurri needs to consolidate to a certain level. The team has just returned to the Champions League after a six-year absence and has what it takes to qualify for the competition next season, but the team lacks the certainty which is why next season will be focused upon closing the gap with Juventus.
With the arrival of Marotta there is no longer the taboo surrounding losing any big players. Walls have been raised around the most prestigious players making them untouchable. It is true that in Brozovic’s and Icardi’s contracts there are very high release clauses, so high that it would no longer being considered a sacrifice should they leave. As a proof of that no one has approached Inter with €110 million for Icardi or €60 million for Brozovic.
