According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter and coach Simone Inzaghi are satisfied with the team that was assembled over the summer and, like Atalanta, who are without Gianluca Scamacca and El Bilal Toure due to injury, will not try to sign a replacement player right away. However, the pink paper did offer a list of alternatives Inter might have used if they had chosen to once again explore the free agency market.
The list includes Papu Gomez, whose contract with Sevilla was cancelled one year early and who hasn't yet found a new residence. Both Saudi Arabia and Monza were said to be interested, however Adriano Galliani subsequently refuted the latter allegation. Felipe Caicedo, Stefano Okaka, and Simone Zaza are among the players who are likely familiar with the Serie A competition, but La Gazzetta claims that none of them would be of special interest to the Nerazzurri.
