I think that upcoming summer market could be quite decisive for the short term future of Inter.
If we somehow screw it, we can go a downhill really fast and vice versa, with a good one, we can be still competitive in next few seasons.
What I mean, first we have a lot of old players, which contribution is in visible decline or they are just not good enough, or a plagued with injuries.
We have Mkhiky, Zielinski, Taremi, Darmian, Acerbi and De Vrij + Arnautovic and Diarrhea leaving as well.
We have some players like Frattesi and Asllani which are also on their way out if the right offer comes.
For now it seems that our issues at the defense are not so big, as we can (we must) replace Acerbi with someone younger. I like him, but at this point he is quite unreliable due to his age and injuries, and he could turn to another Cuadrado for us next season. I don't know how much will cost us an replacement, but I doubt it will be less than 25mln
About Darmian is the same. I love him, but I don't believe that he could be reliable back up of Dumfries for whole season.
About the midfield - controversy to many Inter fans, I want Mkhitaryan to stay. He is quite important and he still can bring a lot of quality if he is managed correctly. Not sure about Zielinski. I don't think that he delivers enough for his salary and status and I would sell him if there is an offer. Even for 2-3 mln. Asllani - generally I want to see him as a mezzla, but this obviously won't happen, so if we find some another Hakan's back up, I'm ok with him leaving. Frattesi form other hand shall leave, no doubts about it. Now is the moment to recover the money spent on him, get rid of his salary and replace him with someone more suited for our style. And it should be someone who can step in Mkhitaryan's shoes, not a just back up of Barella.
Our forward department is in trouble as well. We definitely need a proper 3rd striker, which Taremi obviously is not. I don't know if our management will try to sell Thuram or not, but at this point I see Thuram as more important than Lautaro, and we we have to sell somebody for big money, I would sell Lautaro.
