football reporter Marianela talked about Inter Milan's bid for Atlanta striker Lukeman in Sky Sports' program.
Does Inter need Lukeman?
You always need strong players. Lukeman was considered to have great potential in the UK and Germany in the past, but only in Atlanta coached by Gasperini, he finally showed that potential. Coach Gasperini is a magician who knows how to improve a player's performance.
Lukeman has already stopped training in Atlanta in order to transfer to Inter and left the Atlanta club
He reached his best form in Atlanta, so this behavior during his departure from Atlanta is very unprofessional and shameful. To me, this behavior is a shame. I commented on Kupmenas's strike this way last summer, and now I want to say that again.
Lukeman now seems to hide in Portugal. Professional players cannot do this, which is absolutely unacceptable. I want to emphasize this, I have criticized Kupp Menas so, but Lukeman is now more than him and he disappears directly. This could have been avoided.
But Inter still needs Lukeman?
Yes, Inter Milan needs him, and the team always needs strong players, which can help the team. However, Inter Milan has other priority signing matters.
For example?
Mkhitaryan is a good role model. Some people thought his career was about to end a few years ago, but he still performed well and worked hard, and he was still the main force. However, it is obvious that Mkhitaryan cannot play the main player forever, and we must also consider the situation of Charhanoglu. Therefore, midfield and defense signings should be priority for Inter Milan.
But Inter Milan is still operating Lukeman's negotiations. There will be various opportunities in the transfer market. If a truly powerful player says he wants to join you, you will definitely consider it seriously. Just like a beautiful woman treating you to a big meal, what would you do? Would you reject her invitation just because you just want to eat salad? Definitely not. This opportunity that emerges in the transfer market can also change the club's ideas and signing priorities.
