Simone Inzaghi quashes Inter Milan exit talks

Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi has dismissed reports claiming he would part ways with the club at the end of the season. The Italian club will face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final at the Allianz Arena on Sunday.

Inzaghi said he would discuss his future with Inter Milan’s president after the high-octane clash against the Parisians.

The Italian manager is under contract with Inter until June 2026, but it has been reported by the Italian media that he has received a big-money offer from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.

“It’s the same thing every year, when I was at Lazio and at Inter, luckily there are requests, from Italy, from abroad and from Saudi Arabia,” Inzaghi told reporters on Monday.

“But I think it would be crazy right now to think about that. As the (Inter) president said, with whom I have a great relationship, the day after the game we’ll sit down and talk, as we’ve always done over the years. With only one objective, which is the good of Inter.”

Meanwhile, Inter Milan won their last Serie A game against Como by 2-0 but Napoli won the title after they secured a 2-0 win against Cagliari.

“Friday was not an easy day, believe me. It was a very difficult championship to swallow. But you don’t look behind, in football you always have to look ahead. Chest out and let’s move forward,” Inzaghi said.

“I saw the boys again today, we ate together in a place outside. After Como I didn’t want to talk, today I saw them well. We have a big game in front of us, but this group has always excited me and I think it will do so again on Saturday.”

The gaffer provided an update on striker and captain Lautaro Martínez, who was ruled out of the previous games due to a muscle injury.

“He’s fine, he was already available for the Como game,” he added.

“In Como, if there had been a need, we would have had the captain on the pitch. The game was going well for us and I decided to wait.”
