Former Hellas Verona midfielder Antonio Di Gennaro believes that the fee offered by Inter to Torino defender Bremer was not an unfair reflection of the 25-year-old’s fair market value.

Speaking to Italian broadcaster TMW Radio, Di Gennaro gave the view that the Nerazzurri made a reasonable offer to the Granata despite the fact that Juventus managed to sign the player ahead of them with a much larger offer.

Inter always made their intentions clear with the approximate size of the offer that they would put on the table for Bremer, and Torino owner Urbano Cairo made no secret of the fact that he felt that the Brazilian should have been worth more.

In the end, Cairo was vindicated as the Bianconeri swooped in and made an offer that was worth far more than Inter’s albeit without a player going the other way as the Nerazzurri’s had included.

However, in Di Gennaro’s view the Nerazzurri’s offer had been reasonable, stating that “Given the fees generally paid for defenders, the €35 that Inter had offered were in line with his value.”

He also spoke about the Nerazzurri’s missing out on Paulo Dybala, stating that “Dybala was Marotta’s first deal, but the purchase of Lukaku made it so that it was no longer necessary to sign him.”
