Lautaro and Thuram are the driving forces of Inter, but it’s not enough. The alternatives to the two are not meeting expectations, and Marotta is ready to intervene

Inter doing well in Champions League, but…

Inter’s victory against Arsenal in the Champions League served to add another important piece for qualification. The league is also heating up, with the upcoming direct clash against Conte’s Napoli. However, the situation for the Nerazzurri is not all rosy, and Inzaghi has some headaches to solve. Firstly, the situation regarding the attackers. Taremi facilitated the penalty for Calhanoglu, but it is not enough. Both him and Arnautovic are not providing the right assurances. On the contrary, they are making the starters Lautaro and Thuram even more indispensable for Inzaghi.

Few alternatives in attack

There is no doubt that this is not what was expected from Taremi in his first season with Inter. The former Porto player was presented as a valid alternative to the two Italian champion attackers. However, the numbers say otherwise today. A single penalty goal is not enough, and his colleagues Correa and Arnautovic have not done better. The starters, on the other hand, are already at 14 goals in two.

Transfer market, a striker for Inter

Given the delicate situation and aware that they cannot rely solely on “Thu-La”, Marotta is ready to intervene in the market. And first of all, it is necessary to do so in terms of departures. In addition to Correa, who is certain to leave, Arnautovic could also bid farewell. The club could thus save around 25 million to invest in a quality center forward who can provide more assurances than his colleagues.

Marotta’s choices

The figure that best reflects the needs of Inter and Marotta is Jonathan David, who is out of contract with Lille but has many suitors. Juventus is also particularly interested in the player. An alternative could also be Raspadori, who is not finding the space he would like at Napoli and may want to move elsewhere. But there are also more intriguing and 100% made in Italy solutions. These are Castro and Daniel Maldini, young profiles perfectly in line with the Oaktree project.

Atalanta, in addition to being in an incredible moment of form, is also starting to monitor some talents around Italy in view of the market.

The Bergamo team is going through a frighteningly good period of form, so much so that they are only 3 points away from the top of the table. The squad was significantly strengthened in the summer with the arrival of many new quality players, precisely to maintain a high level of performance in all competitions and to cover for any injuries.

Approaching January, however, the eye is beginning to turn back to the market, where the management aims to uncover new talents in Italy, in Europe, and around the world. The attention of the DS of Atalanta has fallen on Serie A, not too many kilometers away from Bergamo: we are talking about the talented nineteen-year-old from Torino, Alieu Njie.

Atalanta, interest in Njie

Njie is a forward born in 2005 with dual nationality: Gambian and Swedish. In Paolo Vanoli’s Torino, he has played 5 short appearances scoring 1 goal, but due to the injuries of Zapata first and Adams later, he could find more space in the upcoming matches. He is a young man with great speed, good physical power, and also excellent ball control.

Atalanta has spotted him and is currently keeping an eye on him. In Gasperini’s team, he could play in the role of Ademola Lookman, perhaps to give him a break in the second half of the season or maybe later as a substitute in case of a possible future sale of the Nigerian. Under the guidance of the coach of Dea , he could improve, grow, and become a great player, given the excellent potential he has shown so far.

The issues of a possible operation

To bring the young talent born in 2005 to the blue-and-black team, negotiations would have to be started with president Urbano Cairo. The two clubs are in excellent relations, but as we know, the Granata president is certainly not in the mood to give discounts and would only let go of the young player for a significant sum. In addition to this, he might currently struggle to find playing time at Atalanta and could be forced to drop down to the Under 23 team, as has already happened to Adopo and Sulemana.
