Back then, the Rossoneri had just won the Serie A title (their last to date) and had lost Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Inter were looking for midfield reinforcements.
“Was I close to Milan, Juventus and Inter? I can confirm that,” Hamsik said.
The 29-year-old has already netted three Serie A goals and made two assists so far, and is coming off an eleven-assist season with the Partenopei.
Back in 2011, he’d just enjoyed his second-most prolific season in Italy, banging in 11 goals (and 6 assists) and helping Napoli stay competitive.
The Slovakian international also spoke about the Scudetto, and answered “I hope not” both when asked whether the Serie A season was already over… and whether Juventus would win it!
“Roma are doing really well, Milan too, Lazio are just behind and Inter will need to evaluate the after-effects of their [coaching] change. “We’re still a third of the season in, things will be decided later on. I believe that, it’s not just a platitude”.
