Can Joaquin Correa be rehabilitated? Because his contract expires in a year and he is surplus to requirements for Simone Inzaghi, but given the injuries in these first weeks of the season, he could also be a starter against Genoa. As in the coach’s debut, when Sensi was used as an attacking midfielder, Correa risks being an important card, at least for the near future.
He arrived from Lazio on loan with an obligation to buy set at 26 million (30 for the total deal)only to end up in oblivion quite quickly, so much so that he was loaned to Olympique Marseille last season. The failure to qualify for the Champions League brought Correa back home, not without a certain discouragement on the part of the Nerazzurri who thought they had sold him definitively. However, football also gives you an extra option when you seem to have reached the end of the line.
It seemed like just a surplus, but Tucu’s role could be decidedly different, at least at the start of this season. In 2023-2024, the Argentine took part in 19 games, including 12 in Ligue 1 and 7 in the Europa League, for a total of just 682 minutes on the pitch. For him, zero goals and zero assists, no highlights and a return as a separated player at home in Appiano Gentile. However, Inter is now “forced” to use him, who knows if he can’t surprise even the most skeptical and perhaps prove decisive like on August 28, 2021, when with a brace as a substitute he knocked out Verona and gave the Nerazzurri the win on his debut. Today Joaquin Correa turns 30.
