Tah isn't Djalo who badly needed to leave Lille in order to play. Tah will finish the season at Leverkusen and take his time to decide his next destination.

Some reports say we aren't interested in Tah because he doesn't fit to Oaktree parameters (too old, 29).

More like he has many other tempting options, not only us.

He’d fit the profile indicated by Oaktree. He’s 21 and earns just 100k per year. Moreover, his contract expires in 2025.

A January switch, perhaps with a loan back at Spezia, could be in the cards given his contractual situation. The side that agrees to do rather than wait could emerge victorious. Otherwise, it’ll be a very spicy race to sign him on a free.
Already scored 3 goals in 9 matches.

According to TEAMtalk, Inter are trying to get Tah to sign a pre-contract agreement with a deal worth €6m per season until June 2029.

Latest rumor is we could sign him in January and send him on loan, so not to fuck over a small club like Spezia with which we have good relations.

IlSecoloXIX - Meeting between #Inter and Spezia for Nicolò #Bertola : the objective of the two clubs, given the excellent relations, is to facilitate a transfer to Milan before June, when the 2003-born defender who is of interest to the Nerazzurri will expire, to avoid him going free.

The two sporting directors have evaluated some names of young players who could be of interest to Spezia next season: Alessandro Fontanarosa, Luca DiMaggio, Zinho Vanheusden, Franco Carboni and Issiaka Kamate.
Next appointment in mid-December.

Interesting thing about this guy is he plays as lcb in Spezia's back 3 despitte being right footed. Wondering if we see him as a future option for lcb or another position.

maybe Bastoni for CCB or maybe we are sending the argentinian Palacios somewhere else since he isn't game ready

Bastoni's best abilities go in waste if he's not LCB. That's his position, that's what he needs to do. Go forward and cause havoc in opponent's half. I don't think Bastoni is some world class defender in defending.

Why should Bastoni's best position be changed because of a new young inexperienced defender who is not even left footed? That doesn't even make sense. If he comes he better gets adjusted for the center of defence which needs reinforcement with de Vrij leaving and Acerbi getting older and older.
