Inter and Juve are busy in the season finale but they also compete on the market: target of both a big name playing in the Premier League
Derby d’Italia per un parametro zero: sfida Giuntoli-Marotta per un colpo dalla Premier – SerieAnews
Four more matches and the curtain will come down on the Serie A championship. A long and intense season that so far has yet to give the first verdicts. Sure, Monza is with a foot and a half in Serie B but not arithmetically. And so we will still have to wait to see what will be the epilogue of this tournament that is thrilling Italians.
Certainly great attention is being paid to the Scudetto challenge: never in recent years has it been so exciting, with a fight between two point-to-point teams. Napoli has just overtaken Inter and pulled away from it, taking advantage of the Nerazzurri’s double fall against Bologna and Roma.
Inter, which, moreover, is still in the fight over two competitions, league and Champions League, and on Wednesday will challenge Barcelona at home to try to fly into the final, just as it did in 2010. A high-intensity end to the season for the Nerazzurri but also for Juventus, engaged in the fight for fourth place. And it is precisely in the next round that the direct clash with Bologna may be indicative for the fourth-place ambitions of the Bianconeri team.
Inter e Juve, che sfida: un parametro zero nel mirino
Inter and Juve, meanwhile, while they are hard at work on the end of the season, are also focused on the next one. And in this sense, it will be crucial to build formations that live up to the clubs’ coat of arms but also, and above all, capable of competing both in Italy and in Europe for titles.

As is well known, there is only one diktat in both societies, self-financing. Budget therefore reduced and to be built through disposals. That is why the executives of the two clubs work “on fantasy” and on zero parameters, trying to anticipate the thick competition on targets.
And the two teams have come into conflict over one target, a defender who plays in the Premier League. He is Victor Lindelof, a defender born in ’94 and playing for Manchester United. An experienced center back who can play in all defensive roles if needed, so also as a left or right full-back. Contract expiring in June 2025 and no intention to renew him with the Red Devils, given also the space he has had this season, with just 18 appearances.
Difese da rinforzare: perché Lindelof farebbe comodo ad entrambe
Lindelof, however, is an experienced defender, which is precisely why both Inter and Juventus have set their eyes on him. The Nerazzurri need to sign a deputy Acerbi given the former Lazio man’s no longer green age, with Inzaghi calling for reinforcements in that very department.

Juve, however, also needs to reinforce its battery of center-backs given also the difficulties in retaining Renato Veiga, a highly regarded profile but owned by Chelsea with the Blues having so far shot high. That is why such a player would suit both clubs ready to challenge each other in a real market battle to grab him.
Juventus’ participation or non-participation in the next Champions League might also affect the final choice: a guarantee that at the moment Inter can give the player but not the Bianconeri.
