Premier League
Francesco Acerbi could be living his last days as a player for Inter Milan. The veteran defender, who just a couple of months ago became a protagonist by scoring a crucial goal against FC Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals, has lost prominence within the Nerazzurri team. That heroic action forced extra time at San Siro, eventually securing Inter's spot in the grand final. However, football has no memory.
The resounding 5-0 defeat against PSG in the continental tournament final marked a turning point. Acerbi had a very discreet performance and has since ceased to be a fixed element. This is compounded by the departure of Simone Inzaghi from the bench and the arrival of Cristian Chivu, who is already implementing his own model and betting on rejuvenating the defense. In fact, he fully trusts Stefan de Vrij and has requested the incorporation of Giovanni Leoni, a young talent he coached at Parma.
Inter Milan is considering terminating his contract
His off-field behavior hasn't helped either. During the Club World Cup, Acerbi was involved in an unpleasant incident with a fan, which did not go unnoticed by the Inter board.
As reported by MundoDeportivo, at 37 years old, and with physical issues that have affected his performance, the club is considering activating a clause to terminate his contract prematurely. On the horizon, a possible reunion with Inzaghi appears, now coaching Al Hilal, where Acerbi could potentially continue his career in Saudi Arabia.
