No Offers for Inter Milan Outcast As Transfer Deadline Day Looms
Out-of-Favor Midfielder Set to Remain at San Siro
A Deadline Day Surprise?
Despite transfer rumors swirling throughout the summer, Inter Milan outcast Joao Mario has yet to receive any concrete offers with the transfer window set to close. The Portuguese midfielder, who joined the Nerazzurri in 2016 for a club-record fee, has fallen out of favor under manager Antonio Conte and has been deemed surplus to requirements.
Mario has been linked to several clubs in recent months, including Benfica and Sporting Lisbon in his native Portugal, but no official bids have been made. Sources close to the player have indicated that Mario is keen on a move away from Inter but is unwilling to accept a significant pay cut or move to a club outside of Europe's top five leagues.
With the transfer deadline rapidly approaching, it seems increasingly likely that Mario will remain at Inter for the remainder of the season. The club is reportedly open to selling the midfielder for a reduced fee, but they are unwilling to let him leave on a free transfer and risk losing out on any potential revenue.
Mario's situation highlights the challenges faced by players who fall out of favor at big clubs. Despite his talent and experience, the midfielder has struggled to find a new home and may now be forced to stay at Inter against his will.
