Inter were comfortable winners last season, but this time around, they will be without their talismanic forward-Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede has left for Barcelona, while Samuel Eto'o has arrived at the San Siro from the Nou Camp. Diego Milito has been acquired from Genoa, while Brazilian defender Lucio has been signed from Bayern Munich to bolster the defence. Exciting young forward Marko Arnautovic has been loaned from FC Twente.
Inter recently lost the Supercoppa Italiana to Lazio in China, but coach Jose Mourinho opted not to focus too much on the defeat, saying that his side had played good football. Midfielder Esteban Cambiasso underwent knee surgery recently, and the Serie A opener will come too fast for him. However compatriot Nicolas Burdisso is expected to recover from his muscle strain.
Bari return to the top flight for the first time since 2001 by winning Serie B last season. Manager Antonio Conte has been replaced by the experienced Giampiero Ventura, who is now managing his 18th club.
