Yeah, latest extension was signed in January which covers this season. If he doesn't show any significant regression, should be rewarded with another season.

🚨 Noussair Mazraoui is not training with Bayern today after his pro-Palestine social media post.

Maybe we can get him for cheap next summer for Cuntdrado's replacement

What are we missing in defense? We're covered in every position. Pavard and Darmian can play RCB, Acerbi and de Vrij CB, and Bastoni, Dimarco, and Augusto can all play LCB.

The strange thing to me is that Inzaghi seemingly refuses to use Augusto as a LCB. He keeps deploying Acerbi in the role. Makes no sense to me.

Mazraoui, Youcef Atal, Anwar El Ghazi would be release for free from their respectively club soon. a group of footballers from zero parameter market available. Marotta, Ausilio should be act first and Inter doesn't have a protest regarding Israeli and Palestinian conflict, right?

Inter does have a stance on the conflict:

If you think Acerbi, Pavard, Darmian and De Vrij will last more than 2 seasons....

These guys will be wrapped up quicker than Christmas around the corner.

Inter waiting to pounce on Lille defender Djalo – report​

According to recent reports, Inter are still in contact with Lille defender Tiago Djalo over a potential move to San Siro, having previously plotted a move to sign him in recent transfer windows

As outlined by Calciomercato.com, Inter have been looking at Djalo over the course of the last year, but a cruciate ligament injury suffered in March ruled out a transfer in the summer window.

The 23-year-old is now, however, into the final year of his contract in Lille, meaning that Inter could potentially return with a low-cost offer in January, or wait for Djalo to become available as a free agent next summer.

Calciomercato reports that Inter have always remained in contact with the Portuguese centre-back, who is now reportedly nearing a recovery from his knee injury.

Tuesday’s report suggests that the Nerazzurri have already discussed potential financial terms and that an official agreement could be reached relatively easy if the move were to go ahead.

Inter are not the only interested party though, as Barcelona also have a reported admiration for Djalo.

While Inter feel they may have taken the appropriate steps thus far, an official agreement is still required for a transfer to go ahead.
The next incoming free transfer seems wrapped up

Has that guy even come back from his ACL injury yet? Interesting we’re so interested in a player coming off a major knee injury. ACL tears scare me.

Our management is very stubborn about the players they want to transfer. It has never mattered to them what the fans think. If a player's name constantly comes up for us, understand that we will buy that player or at least try our luck.

We have not had a single surprise transfer since the Marotta-Ausilio partnership started

What I mean is, although I have the same concerns as you about Djalo, I think the management will definitely transfer him.

What do you consider a surprise transfer? Hakimi was a massive surprised for all of us. Thuram was a surprise as there had been no serious links to him since before his major knee injury. Cuadrado truly came out of left field.

Considering he would probably be coming as a Pavard backup i would say he's a gamble worth taking. Even if he doesn't work i don't think it would be hard to make plusvalenza on him.

This dude's talent must be at another level when we are chasing him so hard after a 1-year+ ACL injury. And 24 at that time (not that kid anymore).
So new Silva? :unsure:

I wonder what will happen to Bisseck. Is he going to be De Vrij's understudy or not when Acerbi stops playing for us? Because we can't have 4 players for the RCB spot :lol:

Acerbi and De Vrij both have contracts till 2025. I would assume Bisseck goes on loan for the next 6 months (hopefully we don't fuck up that loan and he won't either). Then it's up to him to take a roster spot from our squad.

Wouldn't be surprised if we manage to sign Djalo that he's going to be tried everywhere in the defence and/or Pavard is tried centrally aswell.

At the moment, we only have 2, Pavard and Darmian, with Darmian also being the rotational option at RWB.

We will have to add either an RWB or an RCB regardless.

Bisseck will have 2 seasons to get ready, as Acerbi is not staying around for much longer, if he isn't by then, he's out.

oh, isn't Bisseck also RCB? I counted him, Pavard, Darmian and the possibility of Djalo.
