In Italy, the 2024/25 season has also begun in the Primavera competition for young footballers. On Friday, in the opening round, Inter faced Bologna. Among the spectators was the legendary Samir Handanović, now the new coach of Inter’s youth team, and on the field was a Slovenian player. Luka Topalović played his first official match in Italy, having prepared for the new season with the senior team, and was now handed over to coach Simone Inzaghi‘s colleague Andrei Zanchetti, who leads the youth team.
Luka Topalović, who moved to Milano from Domžale this summer—where, according to Matej Oražem, a million-euro transfer was completed—started the match against Bologna in Inter’s starting eleven. In a 4-3-3 formation, he took his place in the midfield and played all 90 minutes. He did not score, with the only goal for Inter coming from Daniele Quieto. Despite this, it was not enough for a victory, as Bologna equalized before the end of the first half, resulting in a 1-1 draw.
