For 7 million euros from the Danish side Aarhus. Yann Aurel Bisseck it is one of the few, but extraordinary, examples of Inter’s scouting work. Because the Nerazzurri club’s market has long been leveraging the desire to go and get some of the best zero parameters available. Giuseppe Marotta has always tried to work together with Piero Ausilio on experienced, finished players, to include them in the Nerazzurri squad. But there is also another trend, sublimated by Lautaro Martinez, taken from Racing de Avellaneda, and also photographed by the performances of the German central defender of Cameroonian origins taken with a heavy release clause from the Danish team. The work of chief scout Dario Baccin together with the market men gave Inzaghi a mountain of muscles and talent like Bisseck.
The roller coaster before Inter
The goal against Hellas Verona is only the last piece of a vertical journey for Bisseck. Born in 2000, with twenty-four candles to blow out this week, he begins to realize that he can become a footballer during Cologne’s Under 17 team. He made his first team debut at 16 years and 11 months against Herta Berlin, becoming the youngest Bundesliga debutant ever. The need not to lose the category for Die Geißböcke, however, leads Bisseck to see the pitch very little, only three times, but to make a great apprenticeship in training. He went on loan to Holstein Kiel, stopped due to a bad injury, then Roda JC in Holland and Vitoria Guimaraes where due to the stoppage of the championships due to Covid he did not make his first team debut. Roller coaster, Cologne let him go: first on loan and then permanently to the Danes from Aarhus, another great scouting ground, who took him for just 650 thousand euros. There, it explodes. Two seasons later, he also made his debut in Europe (in the Conference League), but the call from Inter came unexpectedly because it was a step that Bisseck had never taken, given the level at which he had played up to that point. And instead…
Already in the safe
“He fit perfectly into the Inter world”, a legend and Nerazzurri vice-president, Javier Zanetti, said of him. “What does this renewal mean? That the club and the coach trust me, everyone is happy with my growth. The renewal is satisfying for everyone.” Talk like this Yann Bisseck to InterTV after the extension until 2029: “I think I did better than what many expected at the beginning, because I don’t think many knew me when I arrived. I worked well and learned tactics, Italian football and the language. So far it has been a successful experience.” The match against Verona at the weekend is further proof of this.
