Inter Milan, Fabrizio Biasin criticizes transfer strategy

Italian journalist Fabrizio Biasin shares his view on Inter Milan’s summer moves, warning that fans were left disappointed after high expectations

The summer transfer window has officially closed, and among those commenting on Inter Milan’s activity is Fabrizio Biasin, one of Italy’s most outspoken sports journalists. 

Biasin, known for his strong opinions and active presence on social media, is a long-time reporter for Libero newspaper and a regular guest on Italian football talk shows. He often provides candid insights into Serie A clubs, with Inter Milan frequently in the spotlight of his analysis.

On social media, Biasin expressed disappointment at the way Inter Milan handled their summer business. His words, sharp as always, went straight to the heart of the matter:

“Market closed. Beyond the technical questions – which are of course fundamental, and the pitch will give the verdict – the feeling is that Inter Milan have underestimated the environmental factor. 

A team coming off a sportingly ‘dramatic’ end to last season needed an emotional spark, at least one big signing, even at the cost of going against principles of logic and financial management. That signing needed to happen this summer, especially after making the fans believe it was coming.”

Biasin argued that presenting a strategy focused only on young players, without the marquee signing that fans had been led to expect, creates a dangerous gap between the club and its supporters.

“If you suggest that an important player is about to arrive, but in the end he doesn’t, it becomes hard to convince people that your opposite strategy – the ‘youth line’ – is the right one. 

Unless everything goes perfectly right away, the first setback will bring frustration. Fans were led to expect youth plus a major name. What they got instead was youth, full stop.”

The journalist acknowledged that, from a purely technical standpoint, Inter Milan remain a strong squad. Yet the psychological burden is heavier:

“The team must now make a double effort: proving its value not only to rivals on the pitch, but also regaining the trust of its own supporters.”

Biasin also touched on the situation surrounding San Siro, the historic home of Inter Milan and AC Milan, which has been surrounded by uncertainty over renovation or potential demolition.

“You cannot abandon San Siro to its fate, nor face a season with this grotesque silence and embarrassment. Respecting the rules is important, but the fans deserve a Meazza capable of supporting the team as it always has.”

His conclusion reflects a broader point: football clubs today are structured like businesses, but they remain unique, because they cannot ignore their most important client – the fan.

“Fans can be won over with results, of course. But after what happened at the end of last season, they also needed an unplanned injection of joy. 

Inter Milan supporters expected it, deserved it, and in the end, they didn’t get it.”
