Forza Inter Forum in complete meltdown over this...
@Cerval
Apparently it was either Gagliardini or Valero+Vecino because of FFP. I guess they are still dealing with ramifications and not being able to register all their purchases because of negative transfer balances. But Gagliardini cost them 28 mil, and Valero (5mil) +Vecino (24mil) is about the same, so Spalletti chose to include 2 mids instead of just the one. That's what they're saying on FIF while melting down about it.

2 CMs they paid a combined 70 mil for over the last 18 months being left out of their CL squad.
