a buyback clause can save us if that means we get him cheaper

I can't explain this amount any other way than going to the American market, he'll be a starter for sure for that money, Thuram number 3. Maybe next year the purchase of Sergiño Dest to attract more audience from the USA.

If a release clause of , lets say, 60m can knock his price down to 30m, then I all for the deal. (Assuming he's worth 30m)

It's better that we have a player that we can sell for up to 60m, for 30m than not have the player at all.

Marotta has done this before with Morata and it worked out very well for Juventus.

He is better than Correa, I can tell you that. Still not my first choice when the summer started, but now he is. #bringthegun

I don't like this deal, but if he comes, we must absolutely make him take the number 2, which stands for the 2nd Amendment. And his goal celebration must contractually be shooting a gun at the ball boys. Otherwise, no deal.

haha ask for him on loan. with a 30m buy clause and 50m buy back clause. That way we save ourselves and so does Arsenal. Maybe the guy goes hey I love Inter and even if Arsenal wants him back he goes no.

I just cant see how getting rid of our starting GK who was one of the best on our team to buy a striker no one has heard of who did well in a random French team...... is a good idea.

Why not buy Simmons from PSG or ask for him on loan

He wants to be a starter, if we get him, Thuram has to be on bench or we rotate them. Not sure either of them are happy with that.
And Lautaro leaving next summer is very likely (even more when he gets the armband 😆)

Is he worth the money? Never watched him, just saw his 21 goals on YouTube.. 1/3 of it are penalties, and other than that I saw nothing special in his finishing.

Lautaro is the most replaceable player on the planet

He won't be a designated starter. But he'll get playing time if he comes like all our forwards will.
