From Modric to Zaniolo, including Icardi's renewal and Inter's next objectives, the words of Ausilio

This evening is the Grand Gala of Calcio in Milan, and Inter director Piero Ausilio spoke about his club, starting with summer target and apparent Ballon d'Or winner, Luca Modric: "Are we content that we were close to the future Ballon d'Or winner in the summer? No, we are happy that a Croatian player, friend of many of our players, has received this correct recognition, nothing more. My wish is that in the future one of our own can win. Zaniolo? This is football, we had to close an operation even selling an important player like him, who however only reached the primavera. I am happy for Zaniolo and even for the others who have become big players thanks to Inter. I am proud of Italian football. We are in line with our plans. We have spoken about confirming our position, the objective is to remain in the Champions League. Icardi's renewal? There is no problem with him: he is Inter. We are happy with him both as a player and as a man, he deserves the captain's armband."
