I don't see how that is a reason to lock the thread before the mercato closes. When the thread has been opened, I'd close a player thread once he moves or the mercato closes.
Nandez just last week or week before that posted that apology, which relates directly to Inter's interest in the player. Also mentioned how the promises need to be kept, referring to Giulini's promises to the player when CL club comes with an offer.
It might be over with Inter but we surely do not know it and Nandez can still slot in to this Inter. Like if we someone manage to get rid of Vidal or Gagliardini.
