Beppe Marotta

Inter Milan chief executive officer Beppe Marotta has admitted that midfielder Christian Eriksen will not be tied down to the club from January. He says that the midfielder can leave the San Siro if required.

The Denmark international came to the club only in last January on a free transfer from Tottenham. He was seen as the player who can bring a creative spark to the Italian outfit and help challenge for the league title. This, however, has to be the case since the form experienced by the midfielder has been quiet poor and this has resulted in the loss of a first-team spot.

Antonio Conte does appear to have given up on the midfielder. The manager recently said that Christian Eriksen had been given a lot of opportunities without making an impression and it is unlikely that he would receive more such options in the first-team.

Inter Milan director Giuseppe Marotta says that the club signing a deal with Lionel Messi is similar to ‘fantasy football’. The player has been linked with a move to Inter in the past years. In the past years, these speculations have been ended with Messi signing an extension with Barca. Inter has now their focus on Manchester United player Alexis Sanchez who has been on loan at the club.

The chances of Messi leaving Barca still stands as the speculations suggest that the player is not happy with the management. His contract with Barca will end next yearand he hasn’t yet agreed upon an extension. With the current circumstances,Inter has a chance of signing the player. But Marotta has denied any such rumours saying that Messi belongs at Barca.

Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta says that the club will not be looking to sign a new striker in the summer since they are already well-stocked in this area.

Marotta was questioned about the possibility of signing Edinson Cavani from Paris St Germain. Cavani has been a transfer target for several clubs ever since joining PSG. He has been unhappy at the French outfit due to lack of importance. Despite scoring almost a goal every other game, Cavani has found itself either on the bench or playing out of position.
