The frustrating winter transfer of Inter Milan
The past winter transfer window of Inter Milan has been a hot topic of discussion and analysis in Italy, and the team's results are not helping the attention to shift towards what Luciano Spalletti's team is doing on the pitch, which is the main reason for the frustration of the neroazzurri fans.
The disappointment of the signings of Ramires and Javier Pastore, who were supposed to be the main reinforcements to make a qualitative leap that seems to be missing in the Milanese squad, would be affecting them in the competition, already being 15 points behind Napoli in the fight for the Scudetto, where they were considered as one of the candidates after the outstanding first half of the season they had.
To the added failures in the sports direction led by Piero Ausilio, another one would be added, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The media outlet states that Inter Milan tried last minute to sign Brazilian attacking midfielder Alex Teixeira (28 years old), who plays for Jiangsu Sunning. The lack of time proved to be an excessive inconvenience to reach an agreement between the parties that would facilitate the return to Europe of the Brazilian international, who will continue his adventure in China for now.
Another stumble in the planning department that exposes the neroazzurro project even more, which seems to lack a concrete action plan for the past winter transfer market after the failure in securing the basic elements, and that would have relied on last-minute spontaneity as their Plan B, making their failure even more evident.
