Arnautovic says goodbye to Inter: duel between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray for the Austrian striker
The summer market has not yet reached its peak, but one of the first bombs has already exploded:Marko Arnautovic officially leaves Inter. The Austrian striker is ready to start a new adventure in Türkiye, where two of the most prestigious teams in the country,Fenerbahce E Galatasaray, compete for his card. The news was confirmed by sources close to the Nerazzurri club and by the player’s entourage itself.
An announced farewell
Despite a return welcomed with enthusiasm by the Nerazzurri fans last summer, Arnautovic’s experience at Inter did not respect expectations. The Austrian has found little space, thanks to fierce competition in attack and some injuries that have limited its performance.
“Marko needs to play continuously, he wants to feel protagonist,” said a member of his entourage. “Inter is a great club, but at this moment it’s not the right place for him.”
With the imminent arrival of a new striker, probably younger and functional to the technical project, the separation seemed to be the most logical choice for all the parts involved.
Türkiye, land of rebirth
Arnautovic is not new to international challenges: after experiences in Germany, England, China and Italy, he is ready to confront a warm and passionate environment like the Turkish one. And his profile immediately teasedFenerbahce E Galatasaray, two historically rival clubs that see the perfect reinforcement for the attack in the Austrian.
According to Turkish sources,Fenerbahçe would have already presented a first offer, maGalatasaray would be ready to relaunchwith an economically higher proposal. The final decision will be up to Inter, but the player’s will will also have an important weight.
“Marko has great respect for both clubs,” said a source close to the footballer. “He is carefully evaluating the technical project and the prospect of playing in the Champions League.”
An expert and charismatic profile
At 35, Arnautovic is no longer in the flower of the years, but remains a complete striker, with physical strength, technique and charisma. His experience in the major European championships makes him a natural leader, and precisely this quality is highly appreciated by the two Turkish clubs, looking for an offensive point of reference.
In the season just ended, Arnautovic has collected 24 appearances in all competitions with Inter, scoring 5 goals. Not dizzying numbers, but enough to demonstrate that he can still make the difference in a championship like the Süper Lig.
Fenerbahçe: the charm of the new project
The Istanbul club has just appointed José Mourinho as a new coach, and the Portuguese technician would have expressed a concrete interest for the Austrian striker, who knows well since his passage in the Premier League.
“Arnautovic is the type of player that Mourinho likes: expert, charismatic, fighter. It would be a precious weapon to aim for the title.”
In addition, Fenerbahçe is willing to build a competitive team not only for the Turkish championship, but also for European competitions. Arnautovic’s arrival could be one of the first shots of an ambitious market.
Galatasaray: continuity and ambition
On the other hand there is Galatasaray, a reigning champion and determined to confirm himself at the top. With the possible departure of Mauro Icardi or other key attackers, Arnautovic would represent a ready -to -use solution, capable of holding the pressure of a club used to winning.
The charm of playing for a historical club and the possibility of playing the Champions League in the next season could convince the striker to choose the Giallorossi.
Decisive economic question
The negotiation, however, is far from closed.It will all depend on the economic offerthat the two clubs will present to Inter. The Nerazzurri club does not intend to sell off the player, even if he is aware that a transfer is now inevitable. The amount requested is around 5-7 million euros, a sum accessible for both suitors.
The engagement node should not represent an obstacle: Arnautovic would be willing to slightly reduce the salary in order to sign a multi -year contract and close the career as a protagonist.
Conclusion
Marko Arnautovic’s future is ready to dye yellow and red … or yellow and blue. Turkey awaits him, and two of his most glorious teams are ready to battle to ensure his performance. After a return to Inter who has not left his mark, the Austrian striker now has the opportunity to write a new important chapter of his career. The next few hours will be decisive.
