Inter were held to a 2-2 away draw by Torino on Sunday, seeing the Granata recover from two goals down.
The Nerazzurri now have a ten-point lead over second-placed Napoli, which means that a win in the next match against Parma will give them the Scudetto with three games to spare.

Inter President Beppe Marotta denied the allegations, insisting that the club is not in any way involved in the scandal.

āWe needed four points before todayās game; we wanted to win, but we didnāt manage it,ā the defender continued.
āWeāll try to do it next week in front of our fans to win the Scudetto; last season ended in the worst possible way, despite still being positive. It was not easy to start again, especially psychologically, but we were good, also thanks to the coach. Weāve done our best, and we are happy.ā

āWeāll celebrate when it is mathematically confirmed, and then weāll have a Coppa Italia Final. The future is not something Iām thinking about now.

āIāve always made myself available. This season, weāve proved how strong this group is, also mentally. It was not easy after the previous campaign, but we are great men before anything else. Iāve been at Inter for six years, and itās normal to have ups and downs.ā
