Inter, Chiesa back on the radar for January: two obstacles

Federico Chiesa is back among Inter’s options ahead of the January transfer window. The attacking winger could strengthen the Nerazzurri’s forward line, but a deal is not currently straightforward. Two issues remain on the table and must be addressed before the club can turn its interest into concrete negotiations.

The first concern involves Luis Henrique. The Brazilian’s place in Inter’s squad could affect the available space and the strategy for bringing in another attacking player. The second obstacle is Chiesa’s salary, which is considered high for the club’s financial parameters. The directors will therefore have to assess the economic sustainability of the move, its possible structure and any departures, without rushing the winter market.

Inter enter the break after beating Como 2-0, following a 3-1 derby defeat against Milan and a 3-0 Champions League victory away to Feyenoord. Chivu’s team will return on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45, away to Atalanta. That match will come before the European meeting with Stuttgart on November 25.
