At first, Chivu had to rely on his old guard as some summer signings struggled to adapt. Petar Sucic and Manuel Akanji have established themselves, while Andy Diouf and Luis Henrique seemed ready to leave Milan as early as January.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Roma, which is looking for offensive reinforcements, had shown real interest in the Brazilian winger, but Inter showed no signs of wanting to sell him.
The Nerazzurri acquired him from Marseille for 23 million euros plus bonuses and are confident that he will soon receive his due. Already against Como, Luis Henrique, launched from the start by Chivu, put in a great performance, highlighted with an assist on Lautaro MartÃnez’s goal.
Taking into account Denzel Dumfries’ injury and the match against Como in Milan, they trust more than ever in the talent born in 2001 and, above all, in January he will not be sold.
