Inter Milan have made a significant decision regarding two of their key strikers. Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa will not be retained beyond the current campaign. The club is now focused on strengthening their attack by adding one or two new players next season. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, it seems that the writing is on the wall for these Austrian and Argentine strikers.

Challenges in the Attacking Department

This season, Inter Milan's attacking department has faced some difficulties. Marcus Thuram has been leading the scoring charts, but Lautaro Martinez has not been able to replicate his remarkable numbers from last season. The club had high hopes for new signing Mehdi Taremi after an impressive pre-season, but he has only contributed with a goal and three assists in all competitions. Arnautovic and Correa have been at the bottom of the pecking order and the Italian champions were unable to offload them in the summer. However, their contracts will expire at the end of the season, making their departures seemingly inevitable.

Marko Arnautovic's Performance

In the Champions League this season, Arnautovic has earned 125 minutes and made two starts. He managed to score a goal in the 4-0 routing against Red Star Belgrade, which remains his only goal in the current campaign. However, he also missed a penalty kick against Young Boys when the score was still 0-0. His performance in the Champions League has been a mixed bag, with moments of brilliance but also some crucial misses.

Joaquin Correa's Loan Spell and Return

Joaquin Correa returned from a disappointing loan spell at Olympique Marseille. His stocks were at an all-time low last summer when Inter were trying to offload him. This season, he made three appearances in Serie A, all coming off the bench. His limited playing time suggests that he has not been able to establish himself in the team and his future at Inter Milan remains uncertain.Inter Milan's decision to part ways with Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa is a significant one for the club. It shows their determination to strengthen their attack and build a more competitive team for the future. While these two strikers have had their moments at Inter Milan, it seems that their time at the club is coming to an end. The club will now look to bring in new talent to fill the void left by their departures.
