Inter Milan thought they could make room fairly quickly in their squad, but the end of the transfer window takes a much more complicated turn than expected. However, the Nerazzurra management is preparing to resolve two issues which are still burdening its group. Kristjan Asllani is very close to a move to Al-Jazeera in the form of a loan with a purchase option which could become obligatory under certain conditions, while Yanis Massolin is also expected to leave the club temporarily, with several French teams interested in his services. These movements should have allowed Inter to move forward calmly on the last part of their recruitment. However, one file still blocks Milan’s ambitions and it bears the name of Luis Henrique. According to information from La Gazzetta dello Sportno concrete offer has currently arrived for the Brazilian, while his departure now appears to be an essential condition to allow the club to complete the arrival of a last offensive element.
The Luis Henrique case is all the more delicate as Inter does not simply wish to find an exit solution for its player, but above all seeks to free up a place in a sector where competition has increased considerably. Arriving from OM, the Brazilian benefited from particular use last season, particularly with the long unavailability of Denzel Dumfries. Used in a more central position, he was able to obtain significant playing time and show a certain versatility. The situation, however, changed with the choices made by the club this summer. Inter have invested on their right side and the competition looks much stronger, which considerably reduces Luis Henrique’s prospects. The main interested party hopes to be able to find a role on the wing, but the presence of players established in the hierarchy seriously complicates this possibility. In these conditions, keeping the Brazilian could be a default solution more than a real sporting choice.
Inter is completely blocked
The problem for Inter is that the market is not meeting their expectations at the moment. AS Roma had recently inquired about Luis Henrique and could possibly return to the charge in the final days of the transfer window, but no decisive progress has been made and no agreement is close at this stage. The Lombard club therefore finds itself in an uncomfortable situation with a player who no longer seems to fit into the technical and tactical plans of the team, but whose departure has not yet been organized. Management still hopes that an opportunity will present itself before the market closes, as the goal remains to strengthen the attack with a specific profile. Inter is looking for a player capable of provoking, making the difference in duels and playing on one side while being able to provide a more offensive solution around the two attackers.
This situation places Luis Henrique at the heart of a real headache for Inter Milan. The Brazilian is not necessarily condemned to completely disappear from the rotation, but his status could become much more secondary if no departure occurs. The choice to keep him would also be problematic for him, since the player naturally wants to have regular playing time and find a position in which he can express his qualities. The Nerazzurra management will therefore have to wait and hope for a movement in the last hours of the transfer window. Chivu could try to find a new use for his player, who has already succeeded in transforming the profile of certain elements of his squad to offer them a new dimension. But for now, Inter remains stuck with a Luis Henrique who still remains there, without an offer and without a real place in the project, with the club’s latest offensive recruit hanging on his future.
