Baccin, ds Piero Ausilio’s deputy at Inter, has flown to Malta to keep a close eye on Mateo Retegui, the oriundo with two national team appearances and two goals to his credit
Inter have already been following him for a while: the Italo-Argentinian is in fact paired in Tigre with Colidio, a Nerazzurri member. And according to journalist Santini, Retegui could be Inter’s real coup for the attack.
The news doesn’t make the Nerazzurri supporters very happy, as they were hoping for more big-name strikes: Firmino, Thuram… Telenova journalist Fabio Santini, who spoke on Calciomercato.it’s Twitch TvPlay channel, believes that the Nerazzurri directors have already made their choice. At Viale della Liberazione, there has long been widespread talk of the young Argentine being called up by Mancini.
“In 2022 he already had offers from several European teams such as Leipzig, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal,” the interviewee explained. “However, his dad, who is his manager, put the brakes on negotiations because he was in contact with Zanetti who assured him of his purchase. “
So, according to Santini, Inter could take him immediately: the aim should be to include him in the squad as early as next season. “Inter will take him in place of Lukaku whose loan they will not redeem, letting him return to Chelsea. “
Santini: “Inter take Retegui, no contact with Messi “
The interviewee then spoke about the possibility of Conte returning to the Inter bench. “Until yesterday he was getting 15 million net a year from Tottenham. He is going through a difficult period from a human point of view, he has lost many friends recently and would like to return to Italy to stay close to his family. I don’t know if he could go to the national team… The most plausible option, however, is for him to take a sabbatical year. “

MMany think that in the event of Conte’s arrival in Milan, Lukaku should no longer leave: the Salento man would push for the Belgian striker to stay. But at Inter there are many doubts about the operation: the encore loan could also be unmanageable from a financial point of view, if Chelsea do not lower their demands.
Then a comment on the market rumours of a Nerazzurri approach for Lionel Messi. “A scary hoax, I found it funny,” said the journalist. “He has two goals: to leave PSG whose dressing room is full of vipers and to go to a rich league like the Arab one or the MLS of his friend Beckham, to another Inter one from Miami. “
