The renowned sports publication, Gazzetta dello Sport, has confirmed that Liverpool’s board of directors is closely monitoring Inter coach Simone Inzaghi. However, despite the interest shown by the English club, the 47-year-old coach is steadfast in his decision not to depart from his current position at the Stadio Meazza. This stance is influenced by both personal and professional factors.
Inzaghi, who has been at the helm of Inter, leading them to a dominant position in Serie A this season with a substantial 15-point lead over Juventus, has garnered significant attention. Having secured five trophies during his tenure at the Stadio Meazza, it comes as no surprise that Liverpool has expressed interest in the former Italian striker.
According to reports from Gazzetta, Liverpool’s consideration of Inzaghi as a potential successor to Jurgen Klopp for the upcoming season stems from Inter’s impressive performances and distinctive playing style. However, Inzaghi’s commitment to remaining with the Nerazzurri remains unwavering as he is cognizant of the long-term prospects and potential success associated with the club’s project.
Although Inzaghi’s current contract extends until 2025, it is anticipated that Inter will offer him a new two-year deal at the conclusion of the season. The prospect of continued success, coupled with ongoing signings such as Mehdi Taremi and Piotr Zielinski, further solidifies Inzaghi’s resolve to stay at Inter. Additionally, his contentment with life in Milan, both for himself and his family, adds to his reluctance to entertain offers from Liverpool.
Consequently, Liverpool will need to explore alternative options in their search for Klopp’s replacement, as Inzaghi remains committed to his role at Inter.
