Legendary former Inter, Real Madrid, and Sampdoria forward Antonio Cassano believes that Inter should have sold Milan Skriniar this summer while they had the chance.
Speaking on Christian Vieri’s Twitch channel, as reported by L’Interista, Cassano gave the view that Inter should have found an acceptable fee to agree on with Paris Saint-Germain and sold the 27-year-old given their financial needs.
On the pitch, Skriniar staying at Inter can hardly be anything but a good thing, but off of it it’s a little more ambiguous.
The Slovakian’s expected sale would have brought in a massive transfer fee which would have been important for meeting the goal of a net profit in the window, and his staying does raise some uncertainty about how the financial situation will be dealt with in the future.
In the view of Cassano, failing to sell Skriniar was not the right move for the Nerazzurri, posing that “I think that Inter will try to win the Scudetto this year, renew the contract to Skriniar and then sell it next year.”
“PSG were offering €60 million, Inter wanted €90 million, I think at €75 million an agreement could have been found,” he continued. “That’s what I think the situation was. Inter had to take the chance to sell him.”
