Mi Ti: Chivu is interested in 21-year-old forward Giovanni, who has similar characteristics to Lukeman but is only worth 1/10

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan coach Chivu admires Verona forward Giovanni Santana very much.

In the Serie A at the beginning of this month, Verona lost 1-2 at home to Inter Milan. Giovanni scored a goal in the game, and his running, dribbling, steals, and counterattacks posed a great threat to Inter Milan, which made Akanji and Bastoni tired to deal with. In addition, Giovanni also had a single opportunity that almost caused Bisek to be sent off with a red card.

Inter Milan coach Chivu observed Giovani's performance closely and admired the 21-year-old Brazilian forward very much. Giovanni revealed after the game: "What did Chivu say to me after the game? He praised me and said I played an excellent game. I also thanked him."

"Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that Chivu was not a courtesy compliment to Giovanni, but had already begun to be interested in Giovani. Inter Milan is very optimistic about Giovani's technical characteristics. He can play center, second forward, winger and other positions. Giovanni's characteristics are somewhat similar to Lookman's, but he is currently worth only 4 million euros, while Lookman's is worth 40 million euros.

After taking charge of Inter Milan, Chivu originally hoped to try some tactical adjustments, such as replacing a midfielder with a forward, and changing the 352 formation that Inter Milan has used in recent years to 3421 or 3412 to increase creativity in Inter Milan's offense. However, Inter Milan failed to sign Lookman this summer, so Chivu's tactical concept cannot be implemented. Now Chivu has taken a fancy to Giovanni, who has similar characteristics, and Inter Milan has included him on the candidate list for signings.
