Inter director Beppe Marotta insists Juventus ‘must always be considered among the favourites’ for the Scudetto, while Milan, Roma and Napoli can also challenge for the title.

The Nerazzurri won the Serie A title in 2020-21 and finished second last season, runners-up to their city rivals Milan.

Going into the new campaign, there have been reinforcements for all the big clubs, including Juventus, Roma and Lazio.

“Obviously we want to win the Scudetto and dreams often turn to reality, but we need courage to make it happen,” Marotta told DAZN.

“It is only right to be ambitious when setting objectives in sport.”

However, the former Juve director still puts the pressure on Inter’s historic rivals more than his own squad.

“Juventus are a team who must always be considered among the favourites, in all competition. They will be this year too, so we must raise our game to challenge them.

“Without doubt, Juventus are working on the transfer market with a lot of quality, but we are also certain that our squad is competitive. We welcome the duel with Juventus, but also don’t forget Milan, Roma and Napoli.”

Inter brought back Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea on loan, just a year after his €113m transfer to Stamford Bridge.

“He has changed, is much more of a leader than before and much more motivated,” added Marotta.

“I am happy that Lukaku can be part of this squad. Henrikh Mkhitaryan has won so much in his career, an opportunity emerged and we took it.”

7 thought on “Marotta: ‘Juventus remain Scudetto favourites’”
  1. Rube are no doubt the favourites and they aren’t even finished on the market yet, while inter can’t even afford some donkey backup defender like milenkovic.

    Inter are an injury to either lautaro or Lukaku away from being Europa League quality as neither dzeko or corea qualify as real football players.

    Hopeless mercato from Marotta. Failed to sell, failed for Bremer and dybala. Bought 3 crap players I mhki, bellanova and aslani. Just wait until he loses skriniar and Dumfries as well and only signs acerbi.

    Inter has the most incompetent management in the history of the game.

  2. CALMAAA!!!

    The mercato has been disappointing for Inter and Mkhitaryan does not set the heart on fire. However Tik Tok Paul is already in the Flimsey J medical room vacationing for maybe 2-3 months. Roberto Carlos and Cafu are still Juve’s full backs and the midfield has not been addressed again with enough flair. Bremer is having to cover two voids as Giorgio has not been replaced. Combine this with PhD Max Legend, Scholar, Philosopher and commander of the ancient ball, the title is between both Milanese sides.

  3. As soon as I saw the headline, I was anticipating a response from Lord Allegro, and he did not disappoint. No outlandish statements either, thought his take was fair and applicable. I would love a Milan repeat scudetto, but I’m not feeling confident they can.

  4. Bye all, I will become a top scorer in MLS. Bye Calma,back,back, down,down. I have Insigne on the other side now
