Di Marzio: “Pato to Inter not a priority, but not definitely discarded”

“Pato or not Pato, this is the problem. Is it fair to give him a new opportunity in Europe or is it better to forget it? Should I tell the truth, after seeing the quality of the attackers in Brazil during the World Cup, I think the former Milan player has really lost a great opportunity to re-enter the front door. But his performance was disappointing, which is why Scolari never really thought about calling him. Now, in the new course that perhaps will be entrusted to Dunga, he could also play his chance, it depends on him. It’s no coincidence that his entourage is pushing to (re) take him to Italy, to do well with us would mean that he could dream of playing in the national team again. Proposed first to Juventus and then to Napoli, without getting enthusiasm in return, the name of Pato ended up then at the headquarters of Inter, where sporting director Ausilio has taken note without considering him a priority. But without discarding him definitively, though. Now it is the turn of Samp. Yeah, Ferrero came up with this crazy idea (even Adriano, as a name, has been evaluated) to give its new fans a certain functional purchase, but that above all is capable of creating enthusiasm regardless. A phone call has been made to understand the conditions and assumptions: initial requests (a salary of 3 million) can be lowered to 1.8, which is still much. From Europe, Wolfsburg – who wants Lukaku – is cold while Monaco reportedly have made a tentative survey. Everyone is afraid of finding the frail Pato of recent years, not what could become one of the strongest strikers in the world. Pato or not Pato? This is the problem. Indeed, the dilemma of a transer market in search of bargains. And temptations.” This is the point on the Brazilian, transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio made to Calciomercato.com.
