Recent developments from Milan provide clarity on the status of two Inter players in the current transfer window. The focus is primarily on striker Marcus Thuram and midfielder Kristjan Asllani, with updates defining their immediate futures relative to transfer market activity.
Thuram`s Clause Expires: Inter Holds the Reins
A significant contractual detail concerning French forward Marcus Thuram has shifted. Previously, reports indicated Thuram possessed a release clause valued at €85 million. However, according to expert analysis of the situation, this clause was time-limited and has now expired.
Specifically, the €85 million clause was reportedly valid only until midnight recently. As of the following day, that specific escape route for interested clubs is closed. This technical expiry means that Football Club Internazionale Milano now holds complete control over any potential transfer negotiations for Thuram. Any club wishing to acquire his services must now negotiate directly with Inter regarding the transfer fee, without the possibility of activating a pre-set buyout figure. It seems the window for a quick, clause-based exit has closed, leaving Inter firmly in the driver`s seat for any future discussions.
Asllani to Betis Hits Valuation Wall
Meanwhile, attention also turns to Albanian midfielder Kristjan Asllani. Spanish side Real Betis had been linked with a move for the young player as they look to reinforce their midfield options.
However, the proposed transfer appears to have stalled. Inter Milan has reportedly deemed Real Betis`s initial offer for Asllani as insufficient. Inter`s valuation for the midfielder is understood to be in the region of €15 million. In contrast, Betis`s offer is reported to have reached a maximum of only €6 to €8 million, creating a considerable gap between the selling and buying club`s expectations.
Adding complexity to the situation, Asllani himself is reportedly not entirely convinced by the prospect of a move to Betis at this juncture. Considering both the significant disparity in valuation and the player`s own reservations, a transfer involving Kristjan Asllani moving to Real Betis appears unlikely to materialize during this current transfer window.
These updates underscore Inter`s current stance in the market: maintaining control over valuable assets like Thuram and holding firm on their valuations for players like Asllani, indicating a clear strategy for their squad planning.
