Revealed – Why Inter Milan Decided To Offload Canada Wingback To Villarreal | OneFootball

Tajon Buchanan is on the cusp of swapping Serie A title holders Inter Milan for La Liga giants Villarreal on a short-term loan.

According to Tuttosport via FCInter1908, Buchanan’s sale is a purely technical decision made by the club.

Indeed, the 25-year-old’s career at Giuseppe Meazza has never taken off.

Signed from Club Brugge last January, the Canadian wingback has never convinced Simone Inzaghi.

Niggling injuries and stiff competition for places at Inter have curtailed Buchanan’s progress, leading us to this point.

Inter no longer want him in their ranks.

Why Inter Milan Decided to Sell Tajon Buchanan to Villarreal

Buchanan’s transfer is now a mere formality.

It took Inter a few days to convince him to accept Villarreal’s proposal, but everything should go smoothly from now on.

Inzaghi has played a vital role in this process as he deemed Tajon Buchanan surplus to requirements.

Despite joining the club with high expectations, he proved unsuitable for the wingback role in Inter’s 3-5-2 formation.

Therefore, the Italian powerhouse can only hope he can revive his career in La Liga.

After forking out €7 million to secure his services, Inter are now keen to recoup their investment.
