Luciano Spalletti surprisingly reveals he hasn’t signed a new contract with Inter – “I still have a year, what’s the rush?”
The Coach held a Press conference this afternoon and was expected to announce that he had signed on until 2021, but it seems talks will have to wait until a later date.
“I have a contract,” Spalletti shrugged when asked about the issue.
“I’m happy at Inter and for me nothing would have changed even without the Champions League.
Luciano Spalletti surprisingly reveals he hasn’t signed a new contract with Inter – “I still have a year, what’s the rush?”
The Coach held a Press conference this afternoon and was expected to announce that he had signed on until 2021, but it seems talks will have to wait until a later date.
“I have a contract,” Spalletti shrugged when asked about the issue.
“I’m happy at Inter and for me nothing would have changed even without the Champions League.
“The club reiterated yesterday that they want to sign an extension, but it wouldn’t have changed anything for me even if they’d said differently: it takes certain characteristics and qualities to sign a contract.
“For Interisti it’s like you’re signing on the future of Inter, and when you’re here you realise the responsibility that comes with that.
“You can’t just sign it to get two extra years of salary, because what if you don’t get the results, or that negative period we had earlier this season had continued for another two games? What do you do with the contract then?
“It’s just to create tension and make noise, I have a contract until next year – what’s the rush?”
Spalletti was also asked about the future of Mauro Icardi, who has a €110m release clause in his contract.
“It depends what he wants, keeping those who don’t want to stay is difficult. That’s not the case with him, but I can’t sit here and tell you he won’t make a request, it depends what happens on the transfer market.
“A professional can consider a different experience. Clearly if important players leave it reduces your chances to grow, if other important players don’t arrive.
