Ex-Inter defender Beppe Bergomi has been discussing the way that Inter’s summer transfer window went and their shape ahead of the new campaign, according to a report in the Italian broadcast media.
Whilst speaking to Calcio Today, the former defender explained how he thinks the club have done well in the transfer window considering the difficult financial position it found itself in of needing to raise at least €80 million in transfer profits.
“In my opinion the club has done well. They have been good and have seized the opportunities. It was not easy to manage the market after the excellent sales.”
He clearly feels that the players the club have signed represent a different approach as they are not direct replacements for those that left.
“The players they have signed are different from those who left, but they are going to rebuild a team that is still very competitive and can win the Scudetto.”
The clear example that Beppe Bergomi uses to make this point is the signing of Edin Dzeko immediately after Romelu Lukaku was sold.
Edin Dzeko does not give the same physicality and pace that the Belgian superstar provides, but he is able to link play with the midfield much better than Romelu Lukaku used to.
“Making comparisons with the Belgian is difficult because he was the most important player in the league. Dzeko is not Lukaku, he has other characteristics and is 36 years old.”
