He has effectively ended the transfer window for Inter.<\/p>\n<p>Marotta cites the COVID-19 pandemic as an ongoing factor in negotiations: &#8220;We are faced with an extraordinary event. The pandemic has had a strong impact and the model of the past is not sustainable. We will not entertain any negotiations for big transfers and big salaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Eriksen Going Nowhere<\/h3>\n<p>The former <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/31\/woeful-tottenham-hotspur-beaten-by-brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> midfielder seemed set for a transfer early in the window. He will now spend the rest of the season helping Inter push for the Serie A title.<\/p>\n<p>Eriksen&#8217;s professionalism is a factor in him staying at the club: &#8220;Conte had an intuition in changing his role and Eriksen himself is a serious professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With one swoop the Inter CEO ended three transfer stories that were expected to rumble on all day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ZpRFzlKkS8pW3vsS-k9sHg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1298679940\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ZpRFzlKkS8pW3vsS-k9sHg',sig:'HAyCJmzhv_vBpxWuRyYOai5kvWkxvugLCL2urOOiZKM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1298679940',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inter ends Perisic Everton rumours, as well as moves for Eriksen and Sanchez.
