In his interview with Freethe sporting director of Inter, Piero Ausilioalso spoke about Federico Dimarco: “I didn’t expect him to be so strong, if I said otherwise I’d be a liar. We never gave up on him, for five years. He had injuries and wasn’t used for some periods. We felt it, we felt the coaches, and the responses were excellent, I’m honest, the merits are related to the fact that we insisted. Inzaghi saw things in him that we hadn’t seen. He was very good, he saw what Dimarco could be “.
Was Leao really close to Inter?
“Yes, a lot. We had a meeting in London with Lille and we had the agreement but then we didn’t move forward. Even with the player we didn’t continue.”
Are you thinking of signing another central defender?
“No immediately, no exits are foreseen. We have strong players and even older ones, and I’m talking about Acerbi, Darmian or, in midfield, Mkhitaryan, I’ll keep them all my life. Good morning idea? I like it a lot, but It’s not a hypothesis. I liked Djalo a lot, but we didn’t want to sign him in January. We could have given him out on loan if we wanted but he wanted an ambitious team and decided to go to Juve.”
