Inter boss Andrea Stramaccioni says Wesley Sneijder is key to his plans – but he wouldn’t veto any eventual sale.
“Sneijder is fundamental from a technical and tactical point of view, but I can’t say that he is not for sale,” the Coach stated this afternoon after arriving at their PInzolo training base on Friday.
Inter boss Andrea Stramaccioni says Wesley Sneijder is key to his plans – but he wouldn’t veto any eventual sale.
“Sneijder is fundamental from a technical and tactical point of view, but I can’t say that he is not for sale,” the Coach stated this afternoon after arriving at their PInzolo training base on Friday.
“That would be an abuse of my power. I would only ask the President to think carefully should an important offer arrive.”
Inter are in the middle of revamping their squad after releasing Lucio and Diego Forlan, while telling Julio Cesar and Dejan Stankovic that they are not part of their plans.
“The directors are united and there is constant contact with the President,” the former youth team boss continued.
“Let’s say that no player will arrive who I do not like. It is important that we get players who can improve our squad and fit with the way we want to play.
“Julio Cesar? Inter have the right to make the decisions which they feel are best. I have no problem with Julio Cesar and his value is not under discussion. He’s amongst the best goalkeepers in the world.”
Inter had a disastrous last campaign and Stramaccioni was their third boss of the season as they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
“We have a new squad and I feel at the centre of the project,” the former Roma youth sector tactician continued.
“We have to be ready in less than 25 days and the preliminary rounds of the Europa League can be dangerous. The Europa League is important for us and we care about it.
“I want a motivated side, with the desire to work hard and transform the results of last season,” he continued.
“We have little desire to make promises, but a lot of desire to work. We want to do our talking on the pitch. I’m focused and convinced of the work that we are doing.”
