Amid personal reflections and dreams never dormant, Inter is preparing for a summer of crucial decisions. Not everything is predictable, not everything is within reach. But in soccer, some chances should at least be attempted

Simone Inzaghi will release his reservations on June 2, when the Champions League final is over. Only then will it be possible to start planning serenely for next season. We have already said it several times: the planned meeting with Marotta will be very important to understand what Inter’s plans are for the future. And whether the coach from Piacenza still has within him that fire, those motivations, to stay and lead the team.
The difference, as we have been explaining to you over the past few days, will certainly not be made by the result of Inter-Paris Saint-Germain, but mainly by the management’s ideas on how to set up the market. Can Inter still think about building a triplete team? That is the question. We will see if it will be enough to convince Inzaghi to stay rather than accept the incredible offer that came from Saudi Arabia.
But if Inzaghi goes, a whole new chapter opens there. And it is not necessarily possible to predict how it will end. Marotta had already moved months ago, when there was talk of the coach’s possible departure, and had contacted Massimiliano Allegri. The problem is that Allegri then got tired of waiting for Inter and Napoli and accepted AC Milan, so if Inzaghi really were to leave, Inter would practically be left holding the bag.

At that point, with a little imagination and a lot of courage, Inter could make an attempt to realize an old dream. A marriage that has been dreamed of for many years and has never come to fruition, partly because he has been at Atletico Madrid for almost two decades.
We are talking about Cholo Simeone, the highest-paid coach in the world, who, however, also feels in Madrid that he has closed a cycle. At the end of 2024 there was persistent talk of his possible farewell at the end of the season. Then the talk cooled down a bit, but every year it is never to be ruled out that the relationship between the Argentine coach and Atletico may end.

Of course, the biggest stumbling block would be the economic issue. Simeone currently earns 34 million euros a year. No Italian team can guarantee him such a salary. That is why, even if this hypothesis were to occur, it would have to be primarily a choice of the heart. Simeone would have to give up more than two-thirds of his salary, aiming to earn 9-10 million a year, to thus fulfill one of his dreams: coaching Inter Milan, one of the teams he remained most attached to as a player.
It would be a total revolution even from a tactical point of view, but if Inzaghi goes, Inter has every right-and perhaps even the duty-to try. It is not easy. But in soccer, we know, nothing or almost nothing is impossible.
