MORATTI-MOU CONTACT
Return possible or impossible deal? This is how Inter will try.
A phone call, another statement from Jose (“Nerazzurri in my heart”) and the hunt for a strong investor.
Appiano Gentile – His photos are everywhere. Right wall, left wall, on the floor, on the reproductions of Gazzetta dello Sport front pages of those triumphs: Mourinho is still at Pinetina. But more importantly, he is still in the thought of Massimo Moratti, the president of an Inter that with Jose Mourinho became Campioni di Tutto (Champions of Everything). So what? Well, it is said that every Interista dreams about his return but there is the behind the scene of this situation: in a round of dialogues as every president is entitled to do, Massimo Moratti has heard from Jose. To say hello? To ask how are you? Maybe, but it seems to also inform on future plans, including the immediate ones as well.
Right to dream This whisper, which was initially concealed, is now starting to climb on the walls, barriers and it has now surfaced. It is to say that Massimo Moratti wants Jose Mourinho again to restart with the Portuguese coach. Despite his denials before Inter-Tottenham, phone calls started to fly between Moratti (or his collaborators) and other coaches after the loss against Bologna where he was visibly angry. Bedy Moratti – sister of Inter boss and one that watches every match – discussed the future of Inter bench with MagazineInter.it saying, “The future of Stramaccioni? I honestly do not know, but he is a very good coach. What do I think of a return of Mou? I think that people have every right to dream. This idea appeals to all but it is difficult to achieve even if you never know in life.” In short: London and Abramovic have the advantage but Moratti will try, perhaps re-reading that phase of Mou who said “maybe I will return to where I have already been, the unthinkable could happen.” Who knows, maybe this will end up like the Lucas’s situation where a sheik arrives, or PSG, and screws up everything.
Partners and transfer market Speaking of sheiks or investors, we have known it for a while now that Moratti could sell a part of the shares (certainly a minor part) of the club: meaning he will stay as supreme leader but with stronger shoulders. An entry of new forces would be one of the reasons for which Interisti could hope to see Mourinho again, who in 2012 made 14 million euros in total. Too much given the intention of Moratti to scale down the costs. Not to mention building a high level team now to win in Italy and abroad (although Icardi and Sanchez would be two good signings…). A strong investor, but then what? The Champions League. If Inter do not quality for at least the preliminary round (3rd spot), then it would be difficult to see Mourinho in the Europa League.
Returns “I am in London often because I have a home here – he says to Sky Sports -. Chelsea are in my heart just like Inter. One day, I could go back. Of course, every time I return to London (this time was to watch Brazil-Russia), rumors start immediately. In some ways, I contributed to these speculations but those who know me understand that I am only thinking about Real Madrid.” He spoke to Sky England because everything started with a video for Italy with the Inter shirt behind his desk: “You never know if one day I can return to Inter: but if I do, it will be with great pleasure and excitement.” Morale: among the impossible and possible, we have a phone call between Moratti and Mourinho. The rest is happening behind the scene.
