Inter Milan of Italy winger, Victor Moses has been told that he will have to take a discount on his current deal at The Nerazzurri, in order to get a permanent transfer from his parent club, Chelsea of England, megasportsarena.com reports.
Uncertainty is still hanging over Moses’ future heading into next season, as Chelsea are reluctant to have him back, while Inter as view him surplus to requirement, following his inability to hit the ground running since his January arrival on loan.
Moses, who cut short his previous loan arrangement at Fernebahce of Turkey in order to join Inter, is facing an uncertain future at Inter Milan as it is not a foregone conclusion that the Serie A side will take up the option to buy him on a permanent basis when his deal expires in June.
A recurrence of injury woes and loss of form that belabored him at Fernebahce and eventually caused him to shred his agreement with the Istanbul-based side has occasioned low relevance for him at San Siro, such that he has been able to play only seven games since his arrival, with four were starts to his name, but his future with the club is in doubt.
This is in contrast with initial feelers that he was bound to get high-profile treatment from his former coach at Chelsea, Antonio Conte, who was responsible for luring him to Milan in the first place, but Italian daily, Tuttosport has now reported that Moses’ value has dropped to a very large, as he has struggled to impress since his loan arrival in the January transfer window.
Consequently, even if Inter decide to execute their option to purchase Moses, they will only do so on the strength of a discount from Chelsea, as the incidence of coronavirus means the Serie A club will have less money to spend on new players when the transfer window opens.
It is now left to be seen if Conte’s love for Moses will again see him swaying the club to keep the once-dazzling winger-cum-wing-back, as Inter still hold an option of buying him for 10m euros, with a proviso of bargaining for a discount on the said amount should they deem it fit, especially due to the ravaging economic effects of COVID-19.
