Kwadwo Asamoah

The story of Kwadwo Asamoah’s career at Inter is very similar to his time at Juventus. When he’s been healthy, he has made the value of his presence abundantly clear. He’s a talented, hard-working player who has had taken on whatever role his team has needed.

Last season, he managed to avoid injury and help Inter claim another spot in the Champions League. Unfortunately, this year the injuries kept him sidelined for most of the season. I believe those injuries may have cost him his spot in the lineup for Inter.

Asamoah just doesn’t have very much working in his favor at Inter right now. They don’t have much invested in him because he was a free transfer. His position could also be much more crowded when next season starts than it was at the beginning of this season.

Inter has the option to buy Cristiano Biraghi and just bought Ashley Young, who has an option for another year in his contract. Biraghi got the most time on the left side this year and Young quickly worked his way into Inter’s starting lineup, making 5 starts in the short time he was with the squad. If Inter doesn’t send Federico Dimarco back out after his loan spell at Hellas Verona ends, then there just won’t be any room for Asamoah on this squad.

The fact that Asamoah was a free transfer means that any transfer value Inter gets out of him would be considered plusvalenza, which will be especially important for Inter as they add Christian Eriksen’s contract to their books and attempt to bring in a couple more pieces this summer.

Asamoah would bring in a modest return due to his age, but that return would still be helpful for Inter’s books and will likely be deemed worth selling him if Inter Milan decides to keep even two of Biraghi, Young, and Dimarco in their squad.
