You make it out to be more than it is to be honest. If he decides to go for a pile of money, so be it. He will go as a legend. But we have to keep on operating sustainably and I am pretty sure that we will take our chance to have him extend if there is the opportunity to do so.

Don't have one.
If someone said even last year here's 100 mil for him, I would have gladly took it, but now no way even for 150 mil. And it's not that I think we can't replace him, it's that we waited for him so long to hit the current levels of quality that it would feel like a proper shame and waste to not enjoy him more.

He had a really organic and steady rise, which we allowed by playing him all the time, and I hate a feeling of us being a springboard for some other club to enjoy him as a finished and almost world-class product.

Plus we would be also losing a great captain and as much as we currently have good players all around I don't see anyone more naturally fitted to that role than him.

Lautaro proved to be a man of class when he shut his own father's mouth in his debut season when the guy complained about the little time Spalletti had been giving to his son. The management knows his character and they will not let him go because of a few more million he asked.

I don't think that Lautaro is attached to Inter same way as someone like Barella is.
He is good here, already captain and an important figure, but if we win the scudetto and he became a top goalscorer, I can understand him if he looks to another challenge. Especially if Real are involved. He might be flattered to be a Mbappe replacement and the protagonist at PSG as well. No body knows what is going on in his head.
I'm going to tell you Lautaro doesn't want to go to PSG. He might be flattered but isn't gonna change is status at Inter and Milano for more money at PSG.

We don't know what's going on in his head but we can listen to he says and I don't see any reason not to believe what he's saying.

I trust Lautaro's words 100%.

Skriniar didn't talk after the "Hamsik" interview. Lukaku is a different animal.

i am all for Lautaro staying, but id understand if he wants to leave, as there is no way he's not just a little pissed of how this club is ran by the owners. Having to sell important players, can't buy players, he needs to play every year with a new striker... i mean, its fucked up.

Was reading somewhere how Lautaro was a level below Haaland, Mbappe and Kane. I'll take this Lautaro any day every day over any of those 3 players.

I don't think he wants to leave Inter per se. I believe him when he says he likes it at Inter. But he also wants his money. If he can have it at Inter, great. If not, he look for it elsewhere.

I mean I fully support our guy, but honestly Mbappe is on another stratosphere as a player. Where he lacks, and it costs him, is his mental state, his priorities and the general toxicity around him. I mean I'd take the guy in of course, but only if he can be tamed. And it doesn't look likely. He'd thrive in an environment like Real Madrid where players are free to do whatever they want and be larger than the club. We said this other part a lot about Lautaro, which was lack of consistency. Mbappe is like that and hasn't really fixed it. Lautaro seems to have and taking up the main striker role is something a lot of us were calling for in the last 43 years where he had to work double for Lukaku and Dzeko, or whenever he's on with Arnautovic now. He finally has the liberty to be the striker and not the guy who needs to make things easier for his teammate up front.

Haaland is just more dangerous and will definitely create more chances. But he still looks way too raw. He's also played in the two big leagues that it's easier to score and rarely gets to face important sides in the CL, so his scoring stats look surreal. But of course he's up there.

Kane, meh. Has a few great characteristics but is sub-par in most others. And the most important one, he cannot lead a top team. If anything, he crumbles when the level increases.

Lautaro on the other hand can as proven by his Copa America run and the last two seasons, and despite being injured in the World Cup he didn't care what people said about his quality and performance, he was just there to help. That's priceless.

Lautaro is definitely the more complete player between him, Haaland and Kane. No idea why Lewandowski isn't mentioned ahead of Kane. That's the only guy worthy of mention next to the other two but due to his age he's unmovable. Question is, who do you pair Lautaro with. And Thuram seems ideal. I hope we don't fuck it up for plusvalenza...

Lautaro has been doing great lately and will definitely attract a lot of attention in the summer from the other top teams. Unfortunately our finance situation do not give us many options IF a big offer comes (in terms of salary and money for the club). Yeah, Lautaro seems like a guy that understand his important position in the club and feels the love of the fans and the management but nowadays money is the real shit.

And if we start thinking about his price, in this crazy world anything less than 120 millions would be laughable. That amount of money could only come from a few clubs in the world these days - Real Madrid, PSG, City and probably a couple of other english teams.

Lautaro and Barella are the absolute last pieces I’d be willing to part with. As long as we have them, we will always be competitive no matter the crap around them. Bastoni, Thuram, Dimarco, and Pavard are close behind (but I doubt Pavard will go do to his book value). Hopefully the ownership/ financial situation is stabilized enough soon that we don’t NEED to offload any of these players.

After these years with selling players for plusvalenza, I just became relaxed.

If a offer of 100+m comes and Lautaro is ok with this, I don`t have a problem. Even if the club decide, they don`t want to comit 10m salary and belive they can make a better team with the selling of Lautaro, I don`t have a problem either. We always had great strikers (Ronaldo, Vieri, Ibra, Milito, Icardi, Lautaro) and I am confident that the next one will come.

It will be a shame, because we developed him. I remember him coming here in the Spaletti tenure, how raw he was and how year after year he becomes better. And I don`t think this is the maximum Lautaro. Maybe not as a scorer but in playmaking. Exactly like Milito.
