DuTi: Flatesi only played 20 minutes in the new season, and whether he can start next will determine the future

According to Turin Sports, Vlatesi only played 20 minutes in four games in the new season, and the next few games will determine whether he will renew his contract.

Flatesi's current situation is quite contradictory. On the one hand, Inter Milan has always regarded this midfielder as a core asset in its current and future development, and on the other hand, he currently has very little playing time.

This summer, both Marotta and Osilio decisively rejected the pursuit of the 1999-born player. It can be traced back to the interest of Naples in June, followed by the attempts proposed by Nottingham Forest after the Club World Cup, but Vlatesi partially missed the event due to bilateral hernia surgery and did not fully recover until mid-August. The final attempt came from Newcastle, which made a hasty offer 72 hours before the transfer window closed. Inter Milan has always refused these suitors in different backgrounds, only considering proposals with a quotation of around 40 million euros.

When Zivo just coached Inter Milan, he promised Vlatesi that he would give him more playing time than Inzaghi. In the past few months, the relationship between Vlatesi and Inzaghi was tense for a while, and even had a dispute after the Champions League final. He has always had difficulty accepting the coach's decision to let him not make a second against Paris Saint-Germain, especially considering that it was his key goal against Bayern and Barcelona that helped the team advance to the Champions League final.

But unfortunately, Vlatesi has not played in Serie A this season so far, and has played for 20 minutes in the Champions League against Ajax, which is far from meeting his requirements. However, the good news is that Inter Milan has started negotiations for renewal of Flatesi, planning to extend the contract for at least one year (until 2029), and may also renew the contract until 2030, and increase its annual salary to 3.5 million euros. Money is important, but for Vlatesi, money is not everything.

For him, true happiness comes from his presence on the court, he needs to have the opportunity to play continuously, and he needs to feel that he is an important role in the team.

This is why Inter Milan has already negotiated with Vratesy to renew his contract, but has not made any progress, because before signing, Vratesy wants to truly feel his greater participation in the team's tactical choices. Therefore, the next few games will play a key role in this regard.

Tomorrow against Sassuolo, Flatesi will compete with Susic for a starting position. If he really gets a starting chance, the contract renewal negotiations will re-step the "downhill" (become smooth). But if we still fail to start in the next match against Sassuolo, Cagliari and Slavia Prague, then Flatesi's future at Inter Milan will be in doubt again.

This is why, the autumn months will be a key node in Flatsi's career. After all, the winter window in January is not too far away.
