In fact, as reported by Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo, the Nerazzurri have not yet decided whether to exercise the buy option for the Pole set at 6.5 million.
Inter have until June 18 to decide.
Zalewski enjoyed Inzaghi's trust, and until a few days ago the permanent agreement seemed like a formality.
Now, however, it will be Chivu, former Giallorossi player, who will have to decide whether to rely on Zalewski next season or send him back to the capital.
