Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio insists they're on the right track.

Inter have stumbled since the New Year, losing the Serie A leadership to rivals Juventus.

Ausilio said, “I wouldn't say that the recent period has been less positive: we won against Napoli and drew with Atalanta and then with Lecce at a stadium where Juventus also only got a point.

"It's never easy in Serie A. Let's not forget that we've achieved extraordinary results so far despite the difficulties we've had. We're trying to add to and improve the group because our objective is to do increasingly better, both on the pitch and off it."

As regards the transfer market: “We're trying to seize the opportunities we have, but it isn't easy in January because teams with good players keep them. And then you have to consider other dynamics in play, not least financial aspects."
