According to reporter Edoardo Fornero, Inter Milan coach Zivo had direct communication with Vlatesi, clarifying the latter's role in the new tactical system and will play a core rotation role. Vlatesi is now willing to consider renewing the contract.

Inter Milan was eliminated by Fruminense in the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup. This loss also exposed some problems in the lineup, including the issue of Flatesi's absence due to injury, and he has never played in the Club World Cup. Although Flatesi tried to grit his teeth until the end, the inguinal hernia that had plagued him for months finally made him unable to continue, so he decided to leave the training camp and receive thorough treatment at the advice of the club's medical team.

In the past few weeks, Inter Milan's new coach Zivo communicated with Vlatesi to clarify the role Vlatesi plays in the new tactical system. Zivo expressed his trust to Vlatesi and told him that he would not be just a substitute for Barrera, but a part of the midfield core rotation, thanks to his versatility and adaptability on the court.

These words left a deep impression on Flatesi. He had originally had the idea of ​​leaving the team, but now he has turned to express his intention to renew his contract. However, the trends in the transfer market are still unknown, because Inter Milan still needs to raise funds to strengthen the lineup by selling players, and there is no one in the team that is truly "not selling". Vlatesi's estimate is about 35 million euros, but no substantial offer has been received yet.

Flatesi will undergo inguinal hernia surgery in Milan in the next few days, after months of conservative treatment failed to cure his injury and eventually had to take surgical measures. It is expected that Flatesi will recover within 20 to 30 days, which will have little impact on Inter Milan's preparations for the new season.

Everyone agreed that the best time to have surgery now. Since the international competition mission has ended, it is better to take this time to completely treat the injury and prepare for the opening of the new Serie A season on August 25.
