Val Rossi, Bertolino, Lerner … Inter fans are famous for Zhang: “Don’t sell Onana, he’s unique”

While sporting director Piero Ausilio was in London to discuss the terms of his potential move to Chelsea, Inter fans in Milan were starting to raise barriers: Andre Onana has truly entered hearts and nobody wants him to leave the Nerazzurri after just one year. A group of flamboyant Inter fans have decided to write an open letter to the club asking them to reject any offer that comes to the table for their new idol, Inter. These are different intellectuals, artists and professionals, all carrying Inter in their hearts, sharing their passion through a bustling, sparkling WhatsApp chat with a name that says it all: “Gli Inter-Nati”.

To manage it, the architect Stefano Boeri and, among its many members, also stars of sports and music such as Valentino Rossi and Max Pezzali. The letter is addressed directly to President Stephen Zhang and the club’s leaders, beginning with six simple, “thank you”: “Thank you for giving us an extraordinary year and evening. And thank you for affirming your courageous choices. Style and a sense of belonging are the exclusive and historic prerequisites of our great Inter.” And from there the pass that directly touches the Inter goalkeeper: “We write to you because we believe that the confrontation that unfolded in Istanbul, the intensity and generosity with which our boys put the strongest team in the world into difficulty, deserve deep reflection. It is an extraordinary resource that you so deservedly have at your disposal today.” Please do not squander it. In particular, we take the liberty of asking you not to bow to any offer to sell Onana.”

In the letter signed, among others, by singer Francesco Renga, comedians Enrico Bertolino and Giacomo Buretti, journalist Jade Lerner and banker Alessandro Profumo, the focus is on the privacy of the “crazy” Cameroonian goalkeeper. Just like Inter, he is important this season away from his contribution between the posts. “He’s a wonderful boy and a great goalkeeper – again we read -, capable of not only exerting tremendous charisma on his team-mates, but also of embodying an acrobatic and unpredictable role – that of the ‘free goalkeeper’ – which we thought we had only lived On the makeshift football fields of our childhood. Don’t sell Onana, please.” And finally, the epilogue: “Give us the dream of a team that, starting from the first place, starting in mid-August, will once again make us dream and be unique: in style, in passion and in courage. Thanks again for everything.”
