Inter Sporting Director Ausilio was asked point blank about Gudmundsson and Zirkzee.

“I’m a big fan of both,” said the Nerazzurri executive.

“But you all know perfectly well how difficult it is to make certain signings in Italy,” he made clear.

Ausilio went on that “They have a lot of quality.”

“But that doesn’t mean that Inter can sign them.”

Then, Ausilio was asked whether Inter are keen to sign any Italian players this summer.

“I like that question,” the Nerazzurri Sporting Director said. “It recognizes the work that we’ve done. We’ve tried to create a hard core of players who feel they belong at Inter.”

Ausilio named “Dimarco, Barella, Bastoni, Frattesi, Asllani.”

“These players are all Inter fans, not just Italian.”

“I’m not just thinking of Italian players,” Ausilio continued. “But all players who have been here for a long time and know the league.”
