Will Inter Return To Bramall Lane?

Last updated : 30 June 2018 By @blades_mad1889

Sources in Italy suggest that Inter Milan will play a Friendly at Sheffield United next month.

There has been no official word from Sheffield United FC themselves but a report on the Italian website; http://m.fcinternews.it suggests that they will travel to Bramall Lane on Tuesday, 24th July 2018.

The report (in Italian) read;

CdS - Nuova amichevole in calendario: il 24 luglio contro lo Sheffield Utd al Bramall Lane
L'estate dell’Inter si arricchisce di una nuova amichevole. Lo riferisce il Corriere dello Sport: "Dopo quelle già fissate a Lugano il 14 luglio, a Sion il 18 e le tre gare dell’International Champions Cup (il 28 e il 4 agosto a Nizza e l’11 a Madrid contro l’Atletico), la formazione di Spalletti il 24 luglio sfiderà lo Sheffield United, formazione della seconda divisione inglese. La gara sarà giocata a Bramall Lane. Il via alla preparazione il 9 luglio ad Appiano Gentile".

And for those like myself who cannot translate Italian (via Google Translate);

CdS - New friendly on schedule: July 24 against Sheffield Utd at Bramall Lane

Inter's summer is enriched by a new friendly. The Corriere dello Sport reports: "After the ones already set in Lugano on July 14th, in Sion on the 18th and the three International Champions Cup matches (on August 28th and 4th in Nice and the 11th in Madrid against Atletico ), Spalletti's training on 24 July will challenge Sheffield United, the second division of the English team. The race will be played at Bramall Lane. The start of the preparation on July 9th at Appiano Gentile.”

As of yet the Blades haven’t arranged a home friendly prior to the forthcoming 2018-19 Championship season.

In 2007 the Italian giants played at Bramall Lane in celebrating Sheffield FC’s centenary year.

It will be exciting if this report is true.
