After the loss at the Olimpico, Roberto Mancini made hi voice heard in the locker room and in front of the journalists. La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals;

“Mancini suspects that some players, more or less unconsciously gave up. For three reasons and motivations. Firstly: the third spot that was impossible to catch up to. Second: European Championship, Olympics and Copa America in summer. Third: The non confirmation about next year. All this led to what happened at the Olimpico.”

In other words a general drop that led to an insufficient display against Lazio. Thus according to La Gazzetta Mancini has some choices to make. “Mancio has set the framework with the big (Handa, Miranda, Murillo, Brozovic, Icardi and maybe Eder who has been forgotten lately), while in the middle there is a run-off. Roberto Mancini would build a statue for Medel, but he has offers from Russia and Argentina. It will depend on what the Chilean chooses, because as of now Felipe Melo could be the one that leaves Inter. Manic wants a midfielder that runs midfield, Biglia being the favorite and Medel could also be a handy back up.”

There are several players with uncertain futures, some with an obligation to buy others with an option to do so. La Gazzetta writes that the arrival of Caner Erkin on a free transfer from Fenerbahce means that Alex Telles will leave (him staying would cost 8,5 million). The same goes for Adem Ljajic seeing as Ever Banega is joining (Roma ‘s 11 million asking price is deemed too high). And then there is Stevan Jovetic:

“He feels like an Inter player, the contract stipulates that there is an obligation to buy for 14,5 million when he plays his first game in the 2016/17 season. But being Jovetic, he has not convinced at Inter. The trick, should there be an offer is the precedence seen in the Shaqiri case, bought and sold in an afternoon. Are the continuos flights to Madrid to visit his friend Savic (Atletico) a sign?” It will be up to Mancini to see if he wants to give Jovetic a second chance to do well at Inter.
