Bastianelli: “Ausilio and Sabatini did a good job”

In an interview with Tutto Mercato Web, player’s agent Patrick Bastianelli gave his version and his opinions of the mercato of Inter and how Inter management behaved: “I think that when you, as a Sporting Director, work without the possibility of buying a football player outright, especially during the January transfer market, it is hard to land any important signings with top players. Inter Sporting Director Piero Ausilio and Director of Football, Walter Sabatini are in a situation where they have no budget and still they made a serious effort in bringing Javier Pastore to Inter from Paris S:t Germain. Should they have succeeded, this would have been an enourmous accomplishment. But, they could only operate on loan deal signings and still managed to sign Lisandro Lopez from Benfica and Rafinha from Barcelona, two players that are really good and add value to the team. As always, Ausilio and Sabatini did a good job a realised some of the concrete ideas, and they did this without having a budget for it.
