Inter Marotta CEO discussed the club’s interest in signing Hector Bellerin from Arsenal and Telles from Man Utd.
What did Beppe Marotta say?
The Nerazzurri are in the defensive reinforcements market after first-elected right-back Hakimi completed a move to PSG earlier this month. Beppe Marotta has now revealed that Hector Bellerin has been identified as a possible replacement, while Alex Telles has also appeared on Inter’s radar as they seek additional cover on the opposite flank. Referring to the summer dash for Hector Bellerin, Beppe Marotta said that his name, which you mentioned, is their interest, but he will not go further, because he is not their player. Chief San Siro added about the club’s reported interest in Alex Telles that he is not ruling anything out, but at the moment they are concentrating on assessing all the possibilities without rushing to close one or another operation.
A little about the topic
Hector Bellerin has spent the last 10 years of his career at Emirates Stadium, but it has been speculated that Arsenal might be looking at the 26-year-old over the summer, with his current contract due to expire in 2023. Apart from Inter, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have also been closely associated with Hector Bellerin, who has faced a lot of criticism for his inconsistent performances with the Gunners in recent seasons, dealing with a string of injuries. The prospect of a new challenge in Italy may appeal to the Spaniard, but bringing Alex Telles in may prove more challenging for Inter. The Portuguese joined United from Porto for £ 15m in 2020 and while he played second fiddle to Luke Shaw on his last-term left-back, he says he’s still determined to do better at Old Trafford. Alex Telles told the club’s official site that it’s nice to be in Man Utd, coming in its second season.
