I guess Bellerin would be our #1 free transfer for the RWB spot. He's fast and not overage but that's about it. And that's usually enough for this position. Assuming a 5m gross cost (3.5m net plus growth decree) would cut it,
Bensebaini would warrant a little over 2.5m net, so let's say 4m gross. Don't think Grimaldo is an option and Hector is rather old.
I'm guessing Roberto Pereyra would be our target as Gundogan would want to start somewhere and may move to Turkey, Tielemans would have other suitors and Ceballos has a roster spot at Real Madrid so it's hard to convince him without a starting spot. Pereyra makes 1m so I guess we'll almost double it. Let's say 3.5m gross.
Belotti makes less than 3m at Roma, give him a 2 year deal at 3m if Dzeko leaves and we're good, provided that we secure at least one of the two forwards mentioned above. Otherwise we'd need someone more reliable and probably a guaranteed starter. Which would cost more.
The defensive setup would need to tick of course, but Milenkovic is actually more than decent at RCB and his shortcomings from a two man defense are hidden, whilst Becao is at worse an okay CB.
Bensebaini: wasn`t he in advanced talks with Dortmund? I expect him to join them on a free. You don`t really think he is coming here to sit on the bench, right?
Bellerin: was so good that was sold to Sporting for 1M. And Sporting only gave him a contract until summer of 2023
Belotti: why would you offer him such a contract when not even Mourinho can get something out of him? I don`t see how he could help Inter.
Anyway, we all know Dzekosaurus will be extended.
Roberto Pereyra: correct, seems like the typical Inter signing. Upgrade over G5, that`s for sure.
Kamada would be perfect, not sure why we haven`t been linked to him so far. Probably going to Manchester?
Milenkovic: does not convince me, especially for that kind of money.
N`Dicka is free - how come you didn`t consider him in this evaluation?
We know Smalling is coming to replace De Vrij and then perhaps Djaló / Schuurs / Debast type of investment? And watch out for
Djidji [free]. However,
Becão is probably more suited to our current finances + has Serie A experience which is Marotta`s fetish.
CF: right now, how desperate is FIF not to extend Lukaku`s loan?
Idea M'Bala Nzola - 26 years old, 1.85m CF, 11 goals in 20 matches this season with freakin Spezia and contract expiring in 2024. Only rated 3.5M.
Season 21/22 was alarmingly shit, but in 20/21 be scored 11 in 25 Serie A matches with Spezia.
How come press didn`t link Nzola to Inter yet? Because Lukaku loan will be extended.
