GdS: Mauro Perković @ Dinamo Zagreb being in Inter's sights.

21 years old left footed defender rated at 5M.

EDIT: More on Gasiorowski (Polish and Spanish citizenship):

We are still talking about one of the pillars of the Spanish Under 19, with whom he has already made 24 appearances and scored seven goals. A truly important haul for a defender, but with strong offensive qualities. Left-footed, he loves to advance and show off his technique, but he still has a lot to grow in the defensive phase, especially compared to Italian standards.

Gasiorowski has very offensive characteristics: He often plays on anticipation and impetuosity, but in Inzaghi's three-man defense he could be much more covered and therefore exploit above all his propensity to set up the action, a bit like what happened with Yann Bisseck last season. Valencia is however well aware of having a real gem at home, also because he is well built physically - he is 192 centimeters tall and has room for improvement also in the aerial game -, and precisely for this reason they will not let him go for a few euros.

The price has already risen to between 18 and 20 million euros, a significant cost for someone who is not even expected to be a starter and would still face competition from Bastoni.

This dude ruled all the Spanish Under teams and seems like a more interesting profile than Cabal.

According to 'Corriere dello Sport', Inter have not given up on the Leoni track at all, in fact they want him at all costs in the black and blue and are ready to relaunch to close the deal in the next few days.

The Beneamata are ready to welcome the possibility of leaving the boy on loan for another year in Serie B, and always with Sampdoria, but his valuation has now exceeded 5 million euros, so there is a need to include some technical counterparts.

In this regard, after many names that have circulated in the discussions between the two clubs, there are above all two profiles that could take the opposite path towards Liguria. These are Filip Stankovic, given that Pirlo is still looking for a new goalkeeper, and Alessandro Fontanarosa.

High expectations for this right footed denfeder who is 1.93m tall. The current asking price for Leoni is €7M.

EDIT:

It seems that left-footed Robert Renan is currently the main target, but the Russians are asking for €20M.

The idea of the Italian champion club is to put on the table the 11 million euro that should arrive from the sales of Satriano and Agoumé. They hope that the player's will will be decisive.

Doubt that it will be enough.

We need more young Spaniards. They’re turning out talents like nobody’s business right now.

 

[Adriano@10]

I do wonder why we are after a young CB and what will do with him once we signed him Imho we have 5 very capable CBs and Darmian and carlos who are pretty good as RCB and LCB.... Sems like a bit of an overkill to throw a youngster on top of that who will barely play....

I come to these threads now just to see all these random names we're linked with that I know 100% we're never going to sign or even make a serious offer towards.

We should go for a back up left wingback and just move Carlos to LCB back up full time. Someone like Fabiano Parisi

Yeah time's a wastin, suddenly with the injuries Inter lack of depth rears it's ugly head yet again.

In my personal opinion we should rather bring in a LCB and let Carlos do his magic on the left flank.

I find him too short for the LCB position and his crosses are pretty neat, so he adds more value further up the pitch.

I don’t like his first touch personally. I think it’s heavy for an “attacker”. He is a great defensive option for a wingback though. He’s pretty well balanced.

Attacking wise, he’s like Frattesi— just very unlucky with his finishing since joining us. He tends to be in the right place when the ball arrives to his area, but he’s not going to give you much build up or penetration.

I’m with you though in that I think he could be a solid no2 option on his own at LCB; he’s really excellent at the position whenever I’ve seen him. These are good problems to have. I just hope he doesn’t get frustrated with limited starts, because let’s face it— if Bastoni and Dimarco are around, he’s never going to be first choice.

His first touch is not great and he seems to lack a bit of bravery when he's far forward, almost as if he's worried about losing the ball and being out of position defensively. I did notice he mentioned his desire to get back to putting up the sort of stats he did at Monza which is encouraging.

If Valencia decide to sell Gasiorowski for financial reasons this summer then he would be happy to join Inter. But the Spaniard will not force the hand of Valencia.

1/ Gasiorowski has a release clause in his contract with Valencia worth around €15 million.
His deal with Los Che runs until the end of next June.

However, the Corriere report, Valencia have an option to extend Gasiorowski’s deal by two years. If they trigger it, it would bump the release clause up to €40 million.

2/ Renan has a €25M release clause, while Zenit want €20M. The Nerazzurri prefer a loan with an option to buy.

3/ The latest option is Mauro Perkovic. He plays at Dinamo Zagreb and has a €7M price tag.

Of these, we prefer Perkovic.

Wan-Bissaka was decent while Crystal Palace, but rather uninspired while at ManU. A direct swap with Dumfries is not appropriate. Wan-Bissaka plus money is the only way to make it work.

The problem with AWB is mostly tactical. He can only play as rcb in our system and we're stacked in that position. He's too defensive to be a wingback.

Lol when you said, AWB I thought, at first, what does The Average White Band have anything to do with this?

The first time I saw AWB, I thought it meant André Villas-Boas
