Arnautovic: move to Napoli? Cassano brings a new wind into the game!

Marko Arnautović, the 35-year-old Austrian soccer star, may be facing a winter move. His contract with Inter Milan expires in the summer of 2025, but he only plays a minor role in the current Nerazzurri squad. Speculation about a possible transfer is increasing as Antonio Cassano, the 39-time Italian international, makes it clear in a podcast that he believes Arnautović has a promising future at Napoli. Cassano could imagine the ÖFB record player as a serious challenger for striker Romelu Lukaku: "Arnautović could kick Lukaku in the ass, he would put pressure on him," he remarked provocatively while questioning Lukaku's previous performances, even though he scored ten points in 14 starting eleven appearances laola1.at reported.

Arnautović began his career at Floridsdorfer AC and has since played in various countries, including a spell at Inter Milan, where he spent a season on loan from 2009 to 2010. This year he actually returned to Inter, continuing his storied career to date. He put in impressive performances, including scoring a historic Champions League goal in the 3-3 draw against Benfica, which was his first goal in the competition in over 12 years.

Given his skills and experience in international football, it remains to be seen whether Arnautović will actually make the move to Napoli. A move could represent a fruitful incentive period for the player, who is still proving his qualities, as Cassano noted: "He still has his qualities even at 32 years old." This could also be of concern for Inter Milan, as a sale could bring financial benefits in the winter.
