2016/2017 Defenders Rumour Thread

[DARi0]

I think Garay is really good, especially if we get him for free.

Garay is fuckin` SOLID and is valued around €20m!!! Why on Earth would you think we can get him for FREE?! He has a contract running until 2019 and Zenit payed €6m for him in 2014.

I know Lucescu was appointed as a trainer and Witsel is also trying to escape Russia - so it might actually be the beginning of a new era @ Zenit... but still... dealing with russians is like dealing with Lotito.

I would even pay €8m for Garay, but not 15-20!

EDIT: I just checked to see if I remember correctly, and yes, Garay has SPANISH passport which means he wouldn't take 1 NON-EU slot I would pay attention to this rumour...

selling Rano + Juan for Acerbi and Garay would be interesting... if we sell Murillo for big cash maybe we can also bring Bruma in? :epicwin: #daydreaming

But I doubt we would change so many central defenders...

On 9 July 2013, Sassuolo, recently promoted to the Serie A purchased half of Acerbi's playing rights for a €1.8 million fee.[23] another remained a propriety of Genoa.[24] During a pre-season medical, a tumor in his testicles was discovered. Immediately, he underwent surgery in Milan. Soon after the tumor had been removed, he resumed training sessions with his new teammates. Acerbi had taken part in 13 games of 2013–14 Serie A season (mostly as a starter) before he failed a doping test on 1 December 2013. He denied accusations of doping, claiming that a positive result might be caused by side-effects of the medicine he had been taking to reconcile the consequences of his surgery. During the extra check-up, it was revealed that a tumor returned and Acerbi was diagnosed with testicular cancer. This time, he underwent a course of chemotherapy to treat the disease. On 15 March 2014, he announced that his life was not in danger anymore and expressed his readiness to play football again. It was also reported that Acerbi did not miss the majority of trainings during the time he had been receiving treatment.[25] In June 2014, the co-ownership deal was renewed by Sassuolo.

Not that wikipedia matters a lot, but Francesco Acerbi is already posted as being property of Internazionale with jersey number #15

We sure need italians for the UEFA quota, so expect italian signings (think Candreva/Acerbi/Berardi), especially since we are trying to get rid of Ranocchia.

Why Sassuolo wouldn't demand money with Rano for Acerbi is beyond me. Not that im complaining or anything :slick:

they do it's their fee for relaunching his career.

Acerbi seems the kind of denfeder that we lack: strong, secure, intelligent long balls (has balls to offer )

CdS - Bruma wants Inter, Garay the luxury alternative. But it all depends on Murillo: on him is Arsenal!

- - - Updated - - -

Wolfsburg has been fast, but the player is in continuous talks with the Nerazzurri.

According to SportItalia, who explains the situation about Inter’s market. This is what Alfredo Pedullà says: “Garay wants Inter, but the Nerazzurri are not sure that the defender can leave his current team for free. On the other way, there’s still hope about Bruma, the player has promised Inter to wait.”

Great news!! I rate this Bruma guy and if he's truly ambitious he will want to join us.

 

[Shaun]

How does that work exactly?

 

[CafeCordoba]

We should sell Murillo only in a case where we can get some crazy figure for him. I don't understand why would we want to sell him at the first place. I mean replace him with someone else just because...why?

 

[PHM1605]

Getting Garay for free is as great as getting Banega for free. 10/10 rating for me. No matter he is 30 or not.
Those are the type of deals which lead us back to top, not Yayas or Candrevas.
No great news like that for fullbacks though

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah, but why Garay would come for free? He has a contract for many years so why would Zenit let him go for nothing? I don't understand that part.

 

[Wobblz]

Yeah, but why Garay would come for free? He has a contract for many years so why would Zenit let him go for nothing? I don't understand that part.

The rumor is he wants his contract terminataed, as he's willing to pay some money for that to happen. He's also making like 5M now, so he must take a paycut to at least 3 - not going to happen.

 

[Bluenine]

Garay is fucking awesome. I wouldn't mind at all if we sell Murillo and use some/most of those funds to get Garay. IMO Garay is at Miranda level, the two of them will make us rule defensively, Samuel-Lucio style.

I seriously doubt he will come free - even if we get him for a Miranda style fee (10-15m delayed payment), it will be worth it. He is worth much more.

Ansaldi, next week new summits Inter-Genoa
Next week are expected ne summits between Inter and Genoa for Cristian Ansaldi. The Nerazzurri want the Argentine full back but the Rossoblu's enquiries are too expensive. An idea is to add Laxalt in the deal, with Genoa saving euro 2,3 million they have to pay to Inter.

 

[Doffy]

im REALLY liking this garay rumour. we should get this guy. just fucking get him. GET HIM.

even in a 3 mens defence him and miranda and medel would be fabulous, stuff of legends. #falcaolaw #latinointer

Medel great CB for Chile and is the same height as Ivan Córdoba.

What happened to the Miranda rumors? Garry would be a good replacement for Miranda and Bruma for Murillo. As long as you know we don't waste all the money we make on those transfers on Yayas wages

TS - Garay speaks to Lucescu. He wants an Inter move

Tuttosport confirms Ezequiel Garay's desire to play for Inter and the Argentinian central defender expressed his wish to Mircea Lucescu that he wants to leave Zenit and join the Nerazzurri. Inter are still monitoring the situation and will only make a move following the general meeting which is expected to be held on the 28th June.

 

[ScottishInterista]

Does that imply no transfers will take place before the generaly meeting then

 

[CafeCordoba]

TuttoSport crap. Maybe better wait for some other source to take part in this one first before speculating more.

Ole' - Garay wants Inter
Yesterday's news that Ezequiel Garay is close to joining Inter, has reached Argentina. The former Real Madrid and Benfica's main reason why he wants to join Inter is very clear: he wants to climb the rankings in Argentina's Head Coach Gerardo Martino. The Russian league does not help and his arrival in the Serie A would only increase his chances of making it."

[CafeCordoba]

Somehow I think that "he wants to go to Serie A and Inter because he's not in NT" is purely from some reporters head.

Roma fight with us for Ansaldi ... offer money + Castan....

 

[enjoy]

Zenit also wants Murillo, Bayern M and Arsenal also ask for him!

- Garay + 15m for Murillo will be great tbh!

- - - Updated - - -

Inter is thinking about those players who no longer fit into the plans of Roberto Mancini. Ranocchia, who had a very bad season at Sampdoria will probably say goodbye again to the Nerazzurri, this time the interest comes from Sassuolo, but they’re having some obstacles to make the deal due to player’s wages, thats why might be easier to sell Juan Jesus who has a release clause of 15 million; given that the Brazilian has many admirers for his ability at two positions: center-back and left-back. If one of both leaves the club, Inter have already identified Acerbi and Garay as possible substitutes.

Roma wants Zabaleta and made official offer for him! They also want Ansaldi, Van der Wiel, Caceres all linked with us!
