Inter defender Diego Godin may still leave the club this summer, due to coach Antonio Conte’s concerns that the player hasn’t adapted enough to his tactical system, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The report details how the 34-year-old Uruguayan defender joined the club as a free agent last summer, signing a three-year contract that’s due to expire in 2022.
The former Atletico Madrid veteran has struggled to adapt to Conte’s back three, after playing in a back four for the vast majority of his career. The player has even been benched by 20-year-old Italian Alessandro Bastoni, showing Conte’s uncertainty regarding the veteran.
There isn’t a great relationship between coach and player, the report continues, and his performances in the remaining games of the season will determine what his future will be, whether it’s at Inter or elsewhere. Godin has made 27 appearances across all competitions so far this season.
