2024/2025 Forwards Rumours Thread

[CraigM]

It's easy to make Castro work within the current budget. Arnautovich and Correa leaving immediately frees up 24.7m euros, so assuming for simplicity a straight cash deal for Castro around 30m euros and a wage of 3m for a 5 year contract, you would only be putting 9m euros back onto the squad cost for next year.

Our two non-performing forwards account for 12% of the annual squad costs, so when you see those figures you can understand why it was hard to do anything in January while they remained. If we can sell Frattesi for around what we paid for him then we add back another 12.4m euros into the budget profit on what we have amortised, plus this frees up another 5m euros or so for his wages.

Joao Felix admitted that Milan's neighbourhood rivals, Inter, had also shown interest in a deal, but having already started negotiations with the Rossoneri, he wasn't about to change his mind.

"Yes, my agent told me about it,” Felix revealed. "He said that Inter was interested. But I had already started talking to Milan, and I had already decided to come here. I said it would have been impossible, I had already made up my mind."

Very believable.

Castro only makes sense if they take Carboni + 5/10 million and accept a buy back option on Carboni.

Idea Lookman from Atalanta

 

[JJM]

Also linked to a Yuri Alberto from Corinthians He is a secondary striker.

 

[BasedGodPunk]

Lookman is gonna be sold to the prem. Juve are gonna sign Kolo Muani, Milan have 800 forwards, Napoli have strikers, etc. We have an opening for a striker but arent spending that much on a third striker. Atalanta dont even need him with Retegui so I expect them to sell and reinvest in their defense or midfield.

 

[Jnr]

Napoli. They have money and Lookman can play plenty of roles next to Lukaku.

Adeyemi to Rube.

 

[Alex de Large]

I don't dislike Lookman, but definitely not for penaltis.

 

[El Matador]

I just wanna suggest something that I know will sound ridiculous but check my track record for players I suggest. Impeccable.

Lets go for Darwin nunez next summer. I just have a hunch.

To explain why:

The guy is a physical specimen. Has incredible pace and power and hes very low on confidence and often misses easy chances. Sound like anyone from recent memory? (Lukaku at Man U).

Nunez can still improve I feel, but he has the skillset to succeed in our team next to Lautaro. He’s very low on confidence and i feel like a change of scenery away from english media will do him a lot of good.

 

[El Matador]

I swear I suggested Duran last summer before he did anything this season and I suggested Isak when he had 5 goals in la liga in a full season. Im not talking out of my ass

 

[HernanesLeftFoot88]

This is the same Inter that could've had Dybala instead of our other constantly injured brethren on the bench

Yep, Dybala is rarely injured.

Could be interesting. Specially if it starts as a loan or say 30m-ish.

 

[CraigM]

Darwin Nunez is flawed but I agree could offer a lot. I don't see how the finances could ever work as Liverpool, unusually for them, did overpay greatly for him. That deal with bonuses reaches 100m euros and Liverpool still have 40m to amortise by the end of this season. They would want that plus some other return on him, so the chances of getting him for anything less than 60m euros are slight.

 

[wera]

Yep, Dybala is rarely injured.

The difference is that Dybala is good when he plays. I can't say the same for Correa.

[varmin]

Lookman will be nice but we don't have the . money to pull this off

 

[CraigM]

I can't begin to imagine how Lookman would work within our system.

 

[HernanesLeftFoot88]

Castro on rejecting Premier League bid, Inter idols, and Bologna stay

Bologna's Santiago Castro admitted to idolizing Inter captain Lautaro Martínez and Nerazzurri legend Diego Milito but views speculation about interest from

football-italia.net

He "idolises" Milito and Martinez. Just make the move!

 

[varmin]

I can't begin to imagine how Lookman would work within our system.

Why? He is not one dimensional player at first place. He drops down to get the ball quite often, and he has good dribbling and linknup play.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

Of the serie A strikers I’ve watched this season, Castro convinces me the most in terms of potential to succeed at inter. Well suited to a two striker system and would certainly add another element of danger that we desperately need.
