Manchester City and Manchester United are going to take action, is it still Inter Milan s turn?

According to the famous Italian media "Milan Sports", Inter Milan intends to introduce Atlanta midfielder Edson Silva to replace the soon-to-be-departed Calhanoglu. They need to face competition from Manchester City and Manchester United.

"Really Blue and Black", the popular lover of the European giants

2022 summer window, Edsson Silva joined Atlanta from Serie A relegation team Sarenitana for 22.5 million euros, and then quickly gained a foothold under Gasperini. In the 2023/24 season, Edson Silva performed at an extremely high level while following Atalanta to win the UEFA Cup and has since grown into a top midfielder in Serie A, attracting the attention of teams including Manchester City, Manchester United, Juventus and other teams. Guardiola's team also hopes to get Edson Silva, Juventus and Riyadh Crescent have also recently joined the team seeking to buy Brazil internationals.

Height 1.82 meters and weighs 86 kilograms, Edson Silva has excellent confrontational ability and ball control skills. He can not only complete offensive and defensive connection tasks in front of the central defender as a drag-back midfielder, but also serve as a central defender to support the wing and forward line. Behind the frontcourt trident composed of Retgee, Lukeman and Decait Lare, Edson Silva does not pay attention to goals and assists (5 goals and 1 assist in 49 games last season). His main task is to control the rhythm and be ready to clear the "dirty ball" behind the forward players at any time to fill the gaps that appear in the midfield and backcourt. The tactical value cannot be fully reflected through the data.

Manchester City had hoped to get Guimaraes, but it was obviously more realistic to buy Edson Silva.

35 million is not a red line, Inter Milan needs to break through itself

In the just-concluded Club World Cup trip, Inter Milan received a prize of 36.8 million US dollars, as well as newcomers such as Pio Esposito, Sucic and Calbonni. Although they failed to achieve the goal of entering the quarterfinals/finals, it was worth it. In Zivo's plan, Inter Milan needs to rebuild around young players. They must improve offensive efficiency while ensuring ball control and defense. The midfield's running, confrontation and ball control ability are very important. Edson Silva is the ideal candidate to achieve this goal.

Manchester United lacks stability in the midfield and backcourt, Amorin hopes to get Ederson Silva, and Inter Milan needs to spend a lot of money to compete with Manchester City's two heroes.

During the coaching period of Inzaghi, Inter Milan's new players never exceeded 35 million euros (Pavar & Vlatesi), which shows the club's financial difficulties. First they entered the Champions League final and then entered the Club World Cup knockout round. Inter Milan's winnings this season are close to 150 million euros. They have the strength to renovate the aging lineup, and they also need to show their courage in the process of reconstruction. Atlanta's asking price for Edson Silva is between 60 million euros and 70 million euros, and Inter Milan needs to be prepared to fight a price war with Manchester City's two heroes.
