Massimo Moratti says the club will need to strengthen their forward line this summer.
What did Moratti say?
The ex-president says the Nerazzurri need to sign a striker this summer – but he can’t decide between Lukaku and Dybala. Paulo Dybala is set to leave Juve on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the campaign, while Romelu Lukaku, who scored 30 goals for Inter last season before rejoining Chelsea, could also be on the move after a mismatched campaign at Stamford Bridge . Both players have been linked with a move to the San Siro, with current Inter frontman Argentine footballer Lautaro Martinez rumored to be an interesting rival club across Europe – most notably Tottenham and Arsenal.
Talking about Inter’s potential summer plans, Massimo Moratti said he would always sign Dybala, he’s really strong. However, Massimo believes Inter need a centre-forward. According to Moratti, if it’s not Romelu, Inter will need a new one anyway. Martinez is a promising striker who has yet to take that extra step. Lautaro has all the means to do well. Moratti hopes he can do better in the next games. Dzeko did well without him. Joaquin Correa is a smart striker.
Everything changes every weekend
Champions Inter were the only side in the Serie A top three to win last weekend, meaning they are just two points behind leaders Milan in second place with a game in hand. With the title race set to go to the wire, Milan boss Stefano Pioli called for a contender simulcast to make things fair – something Massimo agrees. Massimo Moratti also warned his old side not to discount fourth-placed Juve, who is only six points behind the leaders.
Massimo said about Stefano’s proposal that it would be more interesting and fairer. According to Massimo everything changes every weekend, Inter made the right move and were really convincing against Verona. There are a few games left and there is no more room for errors. Games against so-called smaller teams are the ones that make him more excited. Moratti doesn’t think Juve is out of the race yet, unfortunately. They always find a way to win and Moratti believes the top three will have to look to Juventus who never give up.
