According to tmw, Milan Mayor Sala said on the "Balla col Tir" podcast that Inter Milan should seriously challenge for the league title because the Champions League competition is very difficult.

Sala said: "The start of the transfer campaign has been somewhat difficult. I very much hoped to sign Palestra, and Marotta knows this. However, it is clear that the economic scale of Italian football makes it difficult to complete signings at the 50 million euro level. In the end, the management still handled things well, and the team was strengthened as a result."
Speaking about what goals the team coached by Chivu should pursue, Sala said: "I think they should seriously challenge for the league title because the Champions League is too difficult. We can imagine going further, but we are talking about a competition where the average age of the top teams is much younger than ours. Monaco's unfortunate final was a good example of this. For me, it feels like a distant dream. However, we can still do better than last year."
