At a press conference before the Champions League match against the Ajax, Davy Klaassen, midfielder of Ajax, expressed his affection for his former club, Inter Milan, calling it “top club”. He spoke with nostalgia about his visit to San Siro, highlighting his success with the team, notably by winning the Scudetto and the Supercoppa Italiana under the direction of Simone Inzaghi. Despite a limited playing time, Klaassen is proud of this period and recognizes that the Inter is a team in the midst of reconstruction, although key players remain the same and maintain their cohesion and maturity. He is not worried about the coming of the Ajax, considering that his team is not yet where she aspires to be.
The future of Lautaro Martinez at Inter Milan is uncertain, following a back problem that prevented him from training. Initially envisaged to start the encounter against the Ajax, it could be replaced by a duo composed of Marcus Thuram and Angel-Yoan Bonny. This situation could allow Bonny to play a more important role in the team. The absence of Martinez is seen as a precautionary measure, and it is still possible that it will be selected for the meeting.
At the same time, Riccardo Trevisani criticized the lack of ambition of Inter Milan in the summer regarding the signature of Gianluigi Donnarumma. According to him, the goaltender’s acquisition would have been an essential investment for the next ten years, especially after Martinez’s arrival. Trevisani believes that the Inter should have targeted Donnarumma with the available budget, rather than focusing on other tracks like Manu Kone or Ademola Lookman, considering that these players, although excellent, would not meet the long-term need for this position. Martinez’s signature was welcomed, but Trevisani stressed the importance of a world-class goaltender to ensure the team’s stability.
