I'm not saying its right or wrong. I'm kind of disgusted by it actually. But lets be honest here, players do want to leave Inter for Barcelona or Madrid. Players rarely want to leave Madrid or Barcelona for Inter.
I think they're talking about more defensive minded midfielders. It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare Cambiasso to Xavi, as they both play completely different roles.

It mostly depends on the money. They are Inter, not a small club. If they offer more wages, players will most probably choose them over the Spanish two.
Man City can offer as much if not more money than those two, at some point Chelsea did too. But players still prefer(ed) the Spanish duo. It is about money partially, but its about prestige too.

And I'm with you on Essien vs Cambiasso comparison, if we take both Cambiasso and Essien playing in the same role, Essien is IMO by far the better player.

Nope, at that point Chelsea were a much better team than Inter. In fact Chelsea was more competitive than Real Madrid too, yet players preferred Real still.
Its like how Benzema and Diarra both preferred Real over Man United too. Theres a certain prestige that players associate with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Do you really not notice that trend among players?
