Serie A has locked in Inter's calendar through November: Udinese at San Siro on Monday night, Roma away on Saturday the 19th, and the Milan derby on Saturday, October 31. Chivu's team come home from Madrid second in Serie A with nine points from three, and 28th of 36 in a Champions League table they have barely started. And a report says the club wants a satellite club abroad, with money already set aside.

What Udinese bring with them
Inter's own scouting note puts Udinese 10th with four points from three: a win over Monza, a draw with Como, a defeat to Lazio. Kosta Runjaić sets them up in a 3-4-2-1 that leans on pace from the wing backs and Keinan Davis up front.
Kamara has two goals from the left. Zaniolo and Piotrowski are injured, Solet is a doubt, and the club's note flags set pieces as the weakness.

A club abroad, and money set aside for it
FCInter1908 reports that Oaktree has backed buying a club overseas as what the piece calls un serbatoio di crescita — a growth reservoir — for young players, easing the registration of non-EU signings and giving them a step between the Under-23 team and the first team.
The report puts the budget at €30-40 million, names Belgium, Portugal and the Spanish second division as the leagues under consideration, and says the club wants it done before next season. New sporting director Dario Baccin would run it.
Inter have said nothing about this.

94 percent, and a defeat
Opta figures carried by FCInter1908 put Inter's passing accuracy at the Bernabéu at 94 percent — the highest by any team in a Champions League match against Real Madrid in records that go back to 2003-04. Inter lost anyway, 2-1.
