Serie A heavyweights Inter Milan spent the best part of the summer transfer window pursuing the signature of Ademola Lookman.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, that futile quest was the only blemish on an otherwise decent transfer window.
It was a transitional summer for the Nerazzurri.
Indeed, Simone Inzaghi left the club after four years, with Cristian Chivu appointed as his replacement.
Furthermore, Beppe Marotta worked tirelessly to strengthen Chivu’s squad.
Andy Diouf, Manuel Akanji, Petar Sucic, and Luis Henrique have arrived at San Siro.
Moreover, Francesco Pio Esposito has returned to base following a superb season-long loan at Spezia.
Therefore, Chivu boasts a competitive-looking team as he bids to maintain Inzaghi’s legacy.
However, the one dark spot was Inter’s long-standing pursuit of Ademola Lookman.
Despite investing substantial time and energy, the Nerazzurri were unable to convince Atalanta to sell their standout star.
That failure has not affected Inter’s grade, with Gazzetta giving ‘7’ to their market activity in the summer.
