Inter, how many difficulties for Arnautovic: poor performance, the investment is not justified

It is not a coincidence, absolutely, but he is certainly one of those players who must do something more. Marko Arnautovic he is not managing to carve out an important space for himself at Inter against a large and strong competition in Simone Inzaghi’s advanced department. Arriving two summers ago for 11 million euros from Bologna, so far the Austrian striker is not justifying the investment made by the Viale della Liberazione club.

The one who wrote it Corriere dello Sportwhich reviews his journey in this second experience with the Nerazzurri. In Arnautovic-bis’ first year at Inter, the 35-year-old worked like clockwork, finding 7 goals and 3 assists in all competitions, in between also suffering from muscle injuries to his hamstring. Not to mention some obvious bad moods, a symptom of emotional fragility that undermined his career at Inter.

But what’s going wrong this season? Competition has certainly increased with the arrival of Mehdi Taremi as a free agent from Porto and the forced stay of Joaquin Correa, not bought out by Marseille. Of course, moving two of Simone Inzaghi’s cornerstones like Lautaro and Thuram is not such a simple mission. And in just 163 minutes at the start of the season Arna has scored just one goal in the Champions League. He will have to do more than that to earn a spot.
