They'll find someone to loan him to, although will likely have to subsidise his salary.

The situation is identical - both players with a considerable market value who are / were stalling on renewing their contracts. That Lautaro is club captain is irrelevant: no other player can be allowed to run down his contract and leave for free.

Skriniar was one of the few mistakes that Marotta has made. Knocking back something like 50m euros for a player with a year left on his deal was crazy, especially for a player who brought a lot to the team but was an uncomfortable fit in the position he was played in. The financial situation...

I'm thinking more and more that Lautaro will be the main sale this summer. The contract talks have been dragging on forever and there's only so many times both club and player announcing there is a great will to continue before it begins to ring hollow. Reports are that he is seeking 10m euros +...

Signing veterans like Acerbi, Dzeko & Miki is one thing as these were all players well-seasoned in Italian football, culture and language. Signing a 34-year-old who has only ever known Spain and Real Madrid is rather different, especially one who seems to be set on a move to MLS.

What Zirkzee would offer is something a bit different in style to what is there at the moment. He does seem to be more of a between the lines striker who can drop deep and collect the ball in spaces where Lautaro and Thuram don't excel. Interest in that sort of player is not exactly new - that's...

In his time at Man United Varane has been unavailable through injury for one of every three games they've played. They were triumphant when they signed him as if they were going to have the player he was during the 2018 World Cup every week, having made exactly the same mistake with Paul Pogba...

There is a need for a seventh midfielder of some (likely inexpensive) persuasion. This campaign Inter were very lucky with injuries in this area and there were only a handful of games missed by Hakan and hardly any that I recall for Barella and Miki. With Frattesi and Asllani the only others...

I'm really not sure about the timings of this at all. Dzeko announced he would be leaving at the end of May last year, which was even before the end of of the Serie A campaign and before Inter had finalised their plans for the next campaign. Fenerbahce officially announced him on the 22nd of...

Planning for a future beyond a player who is half way to 35 is basic common sense, not 'disrespectful'.

I thought the main reason that Dzeko left was that Inter were only offering him a one-year deal (understandable) whereas Fenerbahce were offering him two years. Am doubting that anyone would want to keep Correa around, even as a fifth choice. His situation is not like it was with Sensi last...

As great as Matteo Darmian has been over the past few years, I think Inter should be proactively moving on from him next season. His role should be more the floating third choice right wing back / right centre half rather than one of the rotational players - like D'Ambrosio was for his last...

I don't really know enough about Vitor Roque to make a call about what he might add to the front line, but there are various good reasons that Inter might want to tread carefully here. Firstly I don't think the club should be in the business of being a place to help develop other clubs...

Thinking back to the interest in Samaradzic last summer and the signing of Zielinski this, I'm thinking this sort of evolution in midfield is really important. The standard trio of Barella - Miki - Hakan have many virtues, but the advanced pair don't really offer enough when it comes to breaking...

Yes, he's 26 and only really has had his first breakout campaign this year. When you are on a budget then you might baulk at paying top dollar for a keeper without a broader body of work behind him.

Little chance of Skriniar coming back. He left for the money and he's not going to walk away readily from his PSG contract on this basis. Hypothetically speaking if he was available on loan on favourable terms, he would be useful as the stopper that's needed. He was never all that comfortable on...

"we know he's a better man after that incident and learned." Hi, my name is El Matador and I run on rusks and vibes. Thank goodness the club is not being run by people like you with the perspective of a tiny child.

I'm quite new here and I hope there's not too many conspiracy theory, vibes rather than facts posts like this.

Yes, absolutely this. Sassuolo have been one of the most interesting stories in Italian football in the past decade and their good management and bold approach has meant they've punched above their weight for way longer than anyone thought. How many small clubs get promoted and grimly try and...

A record that I think Inter should be keeping one eye on is Milan's lofty 54 League game unbeaten from 92-93. We're only halfway there of course, but remember that the team has barely trailed in League games this season, yet alone looked likely to lose any of them. If it had not been for the...
