Arnautovic stays in Milan: dream of a triple and a contract until 2026!
Marko Arnautovic is about to extend his contract with Inter Milan. The 35-year-old Austrian striker has agreed to a one-year contract, the decision comes despite financial losses. Arnautovic, who is in top form and excelled in Inter's recent 2-1 win, has signaled he wants to stay with the Italian champions. An insider, Pasquale Guarro, reports that Inter want to offer him this new contract to keep him at the club until the 2026 World Cup.
Arnautovic could be denied a move to another league as Inter is under pressure from a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. His brother and manager Danijel Arnautovic is currently in Dubai, suggesting negotiations are underway.
The path to the triple
Inter Milan is well on its way to defending its Serie A title, which is also closely linked to Arnautovic's performance. He provided crucial goals and assists and was even named Legionnaire of the Week. The striker celebrates his 36th birthday on April 19th and has big goals: He wants to win the treble. This would make him the second player in Europe to achieve this feat after Lionel Messi.
The coming weeks are crucial for Inter. The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich is on Wednesday after the team won 2-1 in the first leg. A week later, Inter would like to reach the final of the Coppa Italia against arch-rivals AC Milan.
Financial situation of Serie A
The financial situation of the clubs in Serie A is also reflected in current transfer spending. Inter Milan have spent €90.15 million in recent seasons but recorded revenue of just €14.24 million. This shows a negative balance of 75.91 million euros, which underlines the club's financial challenges, especially in light of Arnautovic's negotiations.
The situation is characterized by conflicts of interest, as Arnautovic's efforts to secure a new contract attract lucrative offers from abroad. But by staying at Inter, the ÖFB striker could not only continue his career, but also aim for a historic achievement that could put him in the football history books.
The coming days will decide whether Arnautovic can continue to play for Inter or whether the temptations of another club will prevail.
