10m€ for Arnautovic sounds credible, 15m€ not. Player needs to push for the move, obviously, to get the price lower. And he will, last chance to join a team which is fighting for titles.

They don't have to sell, so they can set whatever price they want.
Very true. Getting tired of the same old song and dance every day.

Even 10 is high. I thought he's 32 not 34. 5+bonuses is the most I offer.

This is getting ridiculous. Its getting worse day by day. Cant believe what a shit mercato.
Lost 1/3 of the starting XI and did not replace even one. Lukaku? Brozović? Skriniar (excluding 1/2 of the season)? Onana?

A team that won scudetto 2 years ago and a team that was a last year CL finalist should get better and strengthen the team to win scudetto back to back or try to be again in the semi finals or finals of the CL. But nooo, we will not reach even the top 5 spots in Serie A.

Fuck that, point zero incoming again. Just like from the year 2011 onwards. Just watch when Marotta leaves, we will be midtable club.

That's what happens when everyone knows you are desperate. This is where management fucked up getting played by Lukaku. Classic oh he cheated on his gf for me, he'd never do it to me.
This. We just need to pay. There's no time to change targets much longer, we need to start acting (ie. getting that striker signed). Although our schedule is easy-ish, there's Fiorentina right after the mercato ends and madonnina in mid-September. We need to get our squad ready soon.

Tottenham offer for Orban is 30mln max. So, we can easily beat them with 30+1mln bid.
Finally, I'd satisfied with Arnautivic for 7mln, Sanchez for free and Diarrhea gone.

Arnautovic is 34 and acts like 17. Always have and always will.

I don't see a veteran player in him. I see a teenage boy. Not the goalscorer we need.

If they're about to panic buy, do some dumb shit with unpredictable outcome, not a 6-9 goals a season in the league Arnautovic.

Reading rumors on Arnautovic is depressing. I didn't know that it's possible to go lower and older than Morata, but here we are.

We've fucked our chances while we were waiting for Lukaku. first Dybala who was available for free then this season, Icardi was available for only 10m. now seems even Morata is not available and we are looking after a 34 finished one.
for me, even Esposito would be better than paying 15m for Arna

People, please try to understand we ain't gonna pay 15m for Arnautovic.

We also need a striker and Arnautovic fits the profile very well to replace Dzeko. He doesn't have to be some fast runner so the age is not a concern (apart from possible injuries). He has the skill and the size but he doesn't have to carry our offence or anything so it's a fit in my books.

Well, we're not going to get a like-for-like replacement for Brozovic given we currently have two players for that position. We did bring in two replacements for Brozovic/Gagliardini, just different positions.
