Inter Milan director: Neymar’s transfer is nonsense. Mourinho’s status in Inter Milan is unmatched.

Inter Milan sporting director Ausilio categorically denied the rumors of Neymar joining, saying that these reports were completely untrue.

Ausilio: "Neymar? Come on, that's nonsense. We never approached him, we didn't make any offer, it's complete nonsense."

Ausilio also reflected on his long tenure at the club, during which he worked with four different presidents: "Moratti is full of passion. Tohir is visionary and brave. Zhang Kangyang is innovative. Oaktree Capital is stable and has structured management."

Ausilio praised club president Marotta as "suitable for people who just want to do their jobs well," emphasizing the trust and autonomy between them. He confirmed Chivo's selection following a "highly unanimous decision" and said he was "the right fit for the club and ownership".

Talking about the summer transfer window, Ausilio reviewed the pursuit of Lookman and Inter Milan's decision to maintain its tactical structure: "We tried to introduce Lookman, but Atlanta's attitude was resolute. But the growth of Pio Esposito and Bonny allowed us to continue to stick to the 3-5-2 formation."

He revealed that Esposito's performance after the Club World Cup allowed them to see his physical fitness and desire: "Therefore, Bonnie was selected as Thuram's replacement, while Esposito was Lautaro's replacement."

Ausilio also confirmed that the club had also paid attention to Hoylen before he moved to Naples. Talking about past coaches, Ausilio believed that Spalletti and Conte were the best coaches he had ever seen, while praising the leadership abilities of Mancini and Ranieri. "Mourinho? His status in Inter Milan's history is unmatched." He also described Roma coach Gasperini as "top level."

Despite rumors about his possible move to Saudi Arabia, Ausilio reiterated his commitment: "I am happy with where I am now. My contract is until 2027. I have received more generous offers before, but I have never left Inter Milan."

He also downplayed speculation about the January transfer market: "After only a month and a half, do you feel that the club has already started planning transfers in January? These are all illusions. Football lives in the moment."
