Berardi reserves the number 25 shirt via 11: what happens at Inter

Berardi returns to be talked about after the darkest period of his career and the dream of wearing the shirt of “his” Inter becomes possible again. Possible but with some issues to be resolved at the top levels and in the transfer market. And he has no shortage of alternatives… One above all

MILANO – Returned to the field on Saturday 5 October 2024, after the long stop due to injury, Domenico Berardi he really has no intention of stopping this time. The black and green shirt of Sassuolo represents the second skin for the Calabrian striker but the Serie B It’s too tight for him. Berardi’s goal is to become a protagonist again not only with the shirt of Italian national teamwhich “requires” the showcase of Serie Abut also in Europe. And more precisely in Champions Leaguea competition so far followed only by spectators. And here it is back in vogue transfer marketspecifically the winter repair one. The 30-year-old Berardi, barring any relapses, is now really ready to leave Sassuolo and move on. But theInter can you consider yourself a serious candidate to welcome him today? Let’s take stock of the situation on Berardi’s future.

Berardi calls the Champions League: Serie A is not enough

BERARDI IN SERIES A – First of all, we need to narrow down the number of eligible teams ready to embrace the Berardi cause in January 2025. The first requirement “required” by the black and green attacker is participation in the Champions League. This allows us to eliminate – at least in January, in the event of a transfer agreed with Sassuolo – several suitors. From the Lazio at the Romapassing through the Napoli but not only that. Berardi would also be useful in the second part of the season Fiorentina e Torinoamong others. Instead we need to focus only on the five teams participating in the Champions League. The first option could be the Bologna Of Vincenzo Italianoassuming he is still “in the running” after the championship phase… Difficult. Easier to discard it likeAtalanta Of Gian Piero Gasperinialready rejected by Berardi three years ago for technical-tactical reasons. And now it becomes very easy to understand where the Sassuolo star could go in January…

Inter, Juventus or Milan: Sassuolo is waiting for a call

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DREAM – In the front row is Juventus, which is the team to which Berardi himself would have liked to move last season. The change in the technical project may have changed the plans but the offensive emergency at Juventus comes to Berardi’s aid. The profile of the striker from Cariati (CS) is perfect for the 4-2-3-1 of Thiago Mottaotherwise. The same can be said for the Milan Of Paulo Fonseca but in that case we must consider it as against the Rossoneri’s overcrowding in attack. Juventus yes, Milan no. And Inter? In the 3-5-2 of Simone Inzaghi a striker like Berardi would be useful as a tactical variable. Numerically it would be necessary to free up a place in attack. And of course all roads lead to Joaquin Correaa surplus left in the squad almost like a foreign body. A hybrid tip for a hybrid tip, a 30 year old for a 30 year old… Oaktree Capital Management permitting. But…

Berardi in an Inter shirt: pros and cons of the operation

INTER TRANSFER MARKET – In reality there is a problem that keeps Berardi away from Inter. Actually, two. Berardi cannot simply take Correa’s place in the squad, because in that case he could only play in Italy. Inter can change theirs Series A List inserting someone in Correa’s place but not there List UEFAas the Argentinian born in ’94 is excluded. This presupposes a double exit to make room for Berardi. Be it that of an attacker (Marko Arnautovic) or another potentially superfluous player in an already duplicate role (Tajon Buchanan), making ends meet is not easy. As well as convincing the owners to put a now Over-30 person under contract who cannot represent a corporate market asset for the future. Berardi will not guarantee a capital gain, if anything a career ending as a resource. And it cannot be ruled out as a low cost option. The contract with Sassuolo until 30 June 2027 may suggest a six-month loan operation, until Club World Cupbefore deciding what to do in the summer. Possible but difficult. Berardi “books” the number 25 shirt for Inter but the dream doesn’t necessarily come true: now it doesn’t just depend on the number 11 Correa. And watch out for Juventus…
