Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Barça show interest in Inzaghi
´Tuttosport´ assures that Chelsea and Manchester United have requested information about Simone Inzaghi’s contract at Inter. Others interested in the Italian coach, but at a lower level, are Liverpool and Barcelona, who have already confirmed that Jürgen Klopp and Xavi Hernández will leave their positions at the end of the season.
imone Inzaghi is mainly responsible for making Inter Milan one of the most feared teams in Italy and Europe again. So much so that the ‘Scudetto’ is within their reach this season, after reaching the Champions League final, lost to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Given this trajectory, Chelsea and Manchester United requested information about his contract, according to ‘Tuttosport’.
In September 2023, he renewed until 2025, so, in principle, it shouldn’t be easy for his suitors to sign him for the 2024-25 season. This is when it would make more sense for both the Blues and the Red Devils to want to start a new era on their benches, where Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag have faced harsh criticism over the months, although, for now, their management keep faith in them.
The vehicle mentioned in the first paragraph assures, in parallel, that Liverpool and Barcelona are also closely monitoring the situation of the former Lazio coach, with whom he won two Super Cups and a Coppa. The Reds and Culés already know that they will have to change coaches for next season because Jürgen Klopp and Xavi Hernández have already announced that they will leave their positions in June.
With a year and four months left on Simone Inzaghi’s contract, is there any way for Chelsea and Manchester United, those most interested in him, to break their commitment to Inter? There should be. Bayern Munich, in 2021, already debuted a new formula for hiring coaches as if they were players, when they paid around 30 million euros to Leipzig to welcome Julian Nagelsmann at the Allianz Arena. Perhaps, with the wealth of the Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford chests, it is a route worth considering.
