Two exits sorted, one still stuck
Inter Milan are making progress on trimming the squad. Kristjan Asllani is close to Al-Jazira, in a loan deal with an option to buy that could become compulsory if certain conditions are met. Yanis Massolin is also expected to leave on a temporary basis, with several French clubs interested.
That leaves Luis Henrique. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, relayed by Foot Mercato, no concrete offer has arrived for the Brazilian. Yet his exit is tied to the arrival of the final attacking addition the Nerazzurri hierarchy had planned.
Time is ticking. The window shuts in a few days and Inter are still waiting for something to happen.

The right flank has jammed up
The former Marseille man did get a run last season. Denzel Dumfries’ long absence opened the door for him, and he was used in a more central role than the one he was used to. Minutes, versatility, status.
Summer changed all that. Inter have invested on the right side and the competition has got a lot tougher. Luis Henrique wants to get back out wide, but the pecking order has closed up in front of him.
AS Roma had been asking about him recently. Since then, nothing decisive, nothing close to a deal. The Rome club could yet make another move in the final hours of the window.
Chivu may have to improvise
Inter want a winger who can beat a man, win his duels and offer an attacking outlet around their two strikers. That profile is still out of reach while the Brazilian remains on the books.
If nothing changes, Cristian Chivu will have to make do. The coach has already shifted several players around to give them a role. Luis Henrique could be next in line, by default more than design.
