“We reach this game determined and eager to do well. We must put heart into the performance to overcome the obstacles,” Ausilio told Sky Sport Italia and Sport Mediaset.

Podolski is on the bench and could well make his debut just one day after completing the loan move from Arsenal.

“His arrival is proof that you can find opportunities on the market even without spending excessive amounts of money.

“This operation started earlier than people think, then he tied himself to Mancini’s Inter project.”

The Nerazzurri are also in the running for Bayern Munich starlet Xherdan Shaqiri, battling Liverpool for his €14m signature.

“More new arrivals? I can see that the prestige of Inter still fascinates talented players who want to become great,” added Ausilio.

“We are looking for players who can tie themselves to Inter for many years. Will we make a sacrifice from the current squad? It’d be better if we achieve our objectives without that, but I can’t rule anything out.”
