Given the superb performances of Roberto Gagliardini since he arrived in January, Inter look set continue with their plan of signing the very best young Italian players.
Suning chief Zhang Jindong sees this as the best way of guaranteeing a strong future, as well as mounting a serious challenge to Juventus for the Serie A title next season.
With this in mind, the club has been working to secure the signing of talented forward Federico Bernardeschi from Fiorentina. According to Il Messaggero, the 23-year-old is virtually an Inter player already.
La Viola are reportedly willing to accept Suning’s €40 million offer, which could also open up other business opportunities with the Della Valle family.
Crucially, an agreement has already been struck with the player’s agent – Beppe Bozzo – who has concluded a number of deals with the Nerazzurri hierarchy in the past.
Despite interest from Juventus, it seems Inter are ready to bring their new number 10 to Milan. Young, Italian, quality – just how Zhang Jindong likes his transfer market coups.

Buy him for 40m and benched like gabi, I think he’s just another player with one great season whos not proven yet
Do you want an actual winger who is young and is actually VERY fast?
Deulofeu.
Since Milan has not sold to the “chinese”(?)new property and is in total disarray with no money whatsoever…
This move makes no sense whatsoever in my mind.
It’s insanity.
We just spent 40 millions in J.Mario and have Banega.
We have no full backs.None.
need a central defender,need some pure winger or second striker to help score more..
Bernardeschi is a trequartista,talented but fragile and very inconsistent.
Crazy and wrong.
I don’t understand, why everybody continue to repeat that Joao Mario is trequartista! That’s not true, he was never playing before as trequartista, he doesn’t have the vision and can’t score enough to be trequartista! He’s very good midfielder, but he’s box to box midfielder!
1)
Whatever you wanna tocall his role ,it is a just matter of words,but there is no “box to box ” in our current 4-2-3-1 formation.
He has been tried in the back two of the midfield,Gaglia and Dog spots,and it did not work well at all.
Much better up front,behind Icardi,so ..what do you wanna call that?
Who cares?
Where do you put him in our formation,now?
Only in one of the three spots up behind Icardi.
that’s the bottom line.
2)
It is not even true at all that he never played trequartista.
Not at all.
He played exactly and only trequartista in the last game I saw him play for Portugal,versus Lichstenstein,,at the beginning of the season.
Go look at it.
He also said recently in an Italian interview that he played that role before also in Sporting Lisbona,many times.
The bottom line:
He is a versatile player that has played many roles already ,even for Portugal,depending on the formation,but he is young so he is still finding his right spot for us.
He did not have a fixed role when he came to us.
And to say that “he cannot play there because he does not score much” is limiting him.
Like saying “Galiardini never scores”..they are both 23 and they are getting better at what they are doing now ,here with us.
Persici icardi and ca,dreva they’re not enough i prefer to sell all of them and sign reus or sanchez or mertens or keita with lagazette or benzema…cuz the tridente we have are so static and not making the play…
please when i read reus i had to start laughing already. reus is always injured, he cant finish one tournament til end^^
mertens would never join us. these days are over. RB leipzig has absouletely no ambition or need to sell keita. they probably cl next year and apart from that they have tons of money.
lacazette seems to be loyal to lyon there is no need in joing inter for him now since its not so much of a difference^^ if he will leave he will join a club that can compete for cl trophy…
and benzema is way too much convinced of himself.. i dont even want him in our club… such a traitor. being involved in blackmailing his teammate valbuena for some stupid childhood friends. no thanks.
sanchez would be cool but please non of our players that you mentioned have to leave for that. we are inter. we need a squad with depth.
my friend…Money talk Ok : when you double the wage for lacazette he’ll come tu join us don’t worry what i’m saying about our players in attack they’re too slow and too naive and too static there is no magical things no creativity they can’t dribble their opponent and were looking to the fututre we can’t even win against Roma and Napoli and we aim to play in UCL Candreva-Perisic-Icardi they’re Useless.
icardi is like the best striker in the world right now.. and you don’t think he’s enough ? Maybe we should sign aliens that can score 1000 goal/match
best striker in the world ??? what can you say about Andrea Belotti ? i’m not going to compare him of course with top players in the world don’t worry…
I just started laughing cause that was madness sell icardi for benzema r mertens lol ahahah
i’m talking about the whole attack and you’re talking about Icardi maybe you leve him maybe you cheer for him but i’m nothing like you cuz i cheer for Inter.
I’m more enthused by others.
Starting with Sanchez.
And I even like Berardi more.
Bernardeschi is playing as a trequartista,not as a winger,and that is the exact role where we are perfectly covered and abundant,with Banega and Mario.
We should stop splashing money in the spots we already have covered and start to:
1)Invest in the defense and 2)make sure to get only the names that can really make a serious difference for us,like Sanchez. or Verratti or a Verratti-like player
Bernardeschi is an inconsistent and fragile talent.
In Fiore the fact that he plays or not has made no difference on their record whatsoever.
Also he has already been tryied 4-5 times for Italy’s national team and was always a complete let down,total fail.
Hope he joines! With him behind Icardi and Perisic on the left and Berardi/Candreva on the right (don’t think he stand a chance signing Sanchez with no CL football and plenty of rich clubs tracking him) we´d have a super attack!
Mario and Gagardini should play in the middle and a new defense behind them!
We can have sanchez with that amount. Enough said. No thank you
Juve is closer to him than us, plus clubs like Barca, Real and PSG are all tracking him too…. we have more chances by signing young super talented Italians than greedy foreigners
Sanchez costs 50 M
Exactly! Alexis – Icardi – Perisic would be a devastating attacking combo. Or we can also use that 40 million euros for two very solid fullbacks, our weakest positions since treble era and JZ4’s retirement.
That’s it.
Or Alexis-Belotti-Perisic if Icardi wants too much or really wants to leave.
Apart from that:
Sanchez-Icardi-Perisic is killer.
Belotti? Dude no italian team can activate his buy out clause plus he just signed a new deal
He is going to leave this summer trust me.
the new contract extension just signed it’s a tool for Torino to ask for more and make sure he never gets close to the end of contract ,just in case he does not leave this summer…but he will end up leaving,period..
Of course.
Any big team would give him 5 millions a year and Torino cannot give him 2 !.
Plus who does not want to try with a big team when you are 23?
There is no clause for Italian teams,that is true,but Italian teams have other advantages.
For example young players that are already known and wanted by Torino,PLUS lots of money.
Or the fact that the man,Belotti and his girlfriend or wife ,might feel better staying in their home country.
For many reasons.
Belotti is great but he is out of our reach especially with Chelsea interest and hefty 80-100 million euros price tag set by Torino. Alexis for 35-40 million euros would be a steal. Should be our priority including two new solid fullbacks. This scenario will surely upgrade our Inter to the next level 🙂
Belotti only if we sell Icardi for the same or similar price tag.
That’s what I alraedy made clear
Have you guys seen him this year? He ´s amazing!
that goal vs. gladbach was mesmerizing
He had 2 good games in the whole season.
2.
Juve and in moenchegladbach
Actually in Moenchengladbach only the great free kick,but he never saw the ball the rest of the game and then back in Firenze.. it was a disaster,they lost 5-1 and he was horrific.
The juve game,yes, he was actually inspired and carried fiore to win against juve with two very nice plays.
That’s all.
that’s all pretty much for the whole year.
The fiorentina fans are starting to say:
“well,if this is bernardeschi..sell him..sell him away..no problem”.
Agreed
Why and for what, we need world class players not these shitty players. Italian propaganda Bernardi and bernandesci fuck.
don’t think you have ever seen this two 23 years old players play??!!
He’s no better than Mario or Banega
Well, he doesn’t play the same position with those guys so. He is more like competing with Candreva for a spot if he comes. He is highly skilled, fast and works hard. Will definitely make the team stronger
Actually he can play as CAM, RW, LW Like Joao Mario could too. I would sell Banega and land Bernardeschi he is amazing, and i would consider selling Candreva to get Berardi, same position great player with more hunger for goal and younger. We need another Perisic kinda player on the RW
I don’t like Candreva too, but prefer Sanchez or Griez to Berardi
Yes but both mentioned are problaly not joining with no CL football…
Agree with you all the way! Bernardesch plays in the middle as an attacking mid for Fiorentina and Berardi as a very mobile right winger for Sassoulo and both have played superbly this year despite the fact their clubs have been in trouble all year!
Bernardesch is the future number 10 for Italy!
Look ,I watch Italy’s games ,he has been tryied 4 or 5 times at least so far,by both Conte and Ventura.
Winger,trequartista etc.
He was such a let down so far that Ventura is in doubt if calling him again or not.
He is not convinced by him yet and not convinced that he fits his formation .
He seems fragile,and inconsistent.
Has been awesome for Fiorentina and is still only 23 years old!!!
Naturally he’s a CAM
I saw him twice in full games this year,he never convinced me and he never played as a winger,always as a trequartista,Banega and Mario spot.
I don’t think we need him.
Berardi is more of a natural winger.
And Sanchez is just..much better,much superior,whatever role you put him.
I would rather those two.
He is very skilled.
He is mediumly fast,not soooo fast.
He does not work hard at all and is very fragile phisically and inconsistent.
I saw him like 12 times between Fiore and Italy.
That’s my take.
He is a bet,needs to grow ,not a safe investment.
I’ve seen him play as a right winger and behind the lone forward. This season not too many times though.. But you kind of highlight the fact that he is versatile and can play many positions and that’s whats always good. He also skilled and we don’t have too much skill in this team. And I mean guys who can dribble past defenders and do the unexpected…
Banega and Mario do what he does,a little better.
And as a very offensive wing-second striker Perisic is two or three levels above.
To me he’s very different kind of player compared to Banega and J.M.
As are Banega and J.M compared one another.
But I like both of them very much
Of course ,every player is different,but in the end ..you have to find them a spot in our 4-2-3-1,so we find that Mario and Banega ,so different from each other,still are competing for the same spot.
Yes I think he would compete with Candreva for the spot. And I agree that Berardi and Sanchez would be better. Sanchez is a top player but if we have a possibility to sign top italian talent, then we should take that change.
For me it’s not important who we sign as long as it benefits the team and makes us stronger.
Berardi is my no.1 choice! But any of these guys would probably make us stronger.
More than agree
Belotti is a beast. have to agree with that. But as long as we have Icardi I don’t think we will get him.
Exactly.
Well, 40 millions could be a fair deal if he perform well.
Just like Joao Mario.
However, I prefer Berardi over him.
for now, he’s better than berardi though..
Let´s get both man!
Beppe Bozzo? Interesting, this might getting real. Here’s some transfer he involved to.
Kovacic – Dinamo>Inter
Cassano – Milan>Inter
Zarate – Lazio>Inter
Felipe – FreeAgent>Inter
Schelotto – Atalanta>Inter
