Inter’s players are happy to remain at the club despite Antonio Conte’s departure, according to a report in the Italian media today.
FcInterNews.it said everyone would have preferred Conte to stay, but nobody is about to request an exit after he parted company with the Nerazzurri.
Inter’s first-team squad would be very pleased to stay together for next season, because everyone really is happy in Milan and even more so after winning the Scudetto.
However, Suning’s need to cut costs could change their futures anyway, so it remains to be seen if some will be forced to leave all the same.
If Suning really did need to secure a profit worth €70-80 million from sales in the summer, and Inter’s directors received offers for certain players, they would accept a departure without opposing it.
Inter’s star players are not about to offer themselves to other clubs, but they would agree to leave if Inter asked them because of their financial situation.
Lautaro Martinez is an emblematic case in this sense, the report explained, because he has made it clear he would be happy to stay at Inter without Conte.
El Toro is discussing a three-year deal with Inter worth €5 million annually, but Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Manchester City are interested and have made approaches.
If one of those clubs made an offer and Inter deemed it appropriate, Lautaro wouldn’t put his foot down and refuse to leave, and that applies for other players too.
