He seems to be forcing his way to Inter by rejecting offers from other clubs.
A free loan with an option is a nice deal, but 6m seems a bit excessive for a player we can get for free in the next transfer window, or maybe that amount already includes some add-ons. Let's see how this transfer goes.
Regarding the contract extension with Roma, I think Roma had the advantage of getting a fee from a player who was going to leave on a free transfer in June.
By extending his contract for another season, they still had the chance to sell him elsewhere if we didn't trigger the buyout.
I've forgotten which Roma game I'm watching, but I think he's really out of form, unlike his emergence where he showed some potential under Mou.
Anyway, he's a ball carrier, comfortable on both feet, can cover both flanks, relatively young with potential of resale value which is what Oaktree policy is looking for.
I still see him as an upgrade over Buchanan for backup options.

He has the same profile as Buchanan. Doesnt really make much sense to me unless you want to gamble on another winger and hope he delivers as a wingback.
Good borderline really good as a winger, below par borderline shit as a wingback. Then again Roma is a toxic environment these days so he may as well thrive in a new team especially in one with Zielinski.

Best Overall PosterProbably because we have no intention to activate the option.
Honestly I feel sorry for the kid. We're fucking up his future over a 6 month stint.

A couple of sources reporting if this deal doesn't happen now it will happen in the summer for free, so I don't think we are treating him as some quick fix solution, hence why we seem confident roma will do what they need to do for this deal to happen now. He already rejected psv in the summer and marseille this month.
I very much doubt he would be so eager to join and rejected all of those offers if he didn't have at least verbal agreement or promise it will be something long term.

10 years of FIFWait, if someone's willing to pay 6m for his last 6 months of contract, he must be kinda good right?

To be honest, I've never watched Zalewski properly. I have no idea how good or bad he is. All I know about him is that he was on the transfer list of Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray until recently. I don't know how useful a football player that only Turkish clubs were seriously interested in until the rumors about Inter emerged could be for us?

10 years of FIFInter have no intention to pay for someone that can be signed today on a free, starting in summer.Probably because we have no intention to activate the option.

Ausilio probably already has an agreement with him and is now just forcing Roma's hand to release him. They already lost him. Can continue paying his wage or not, but he's gone.
Biraghi earns a lot more and has no resale value. For sure not Oaktree fit.

Marotta said the same thing about a younger player coming in last night before the game.

The equivalent of “come to Hollywood and audition to be a stand-in.”Probably because we have no intention to activate the option.

DiMarco and Bastoni will need some slack and I dont mind having Zalewski and Augusto as their backups.

It’s a good move. If it works out we have a cheap and solid backup option for both sides. If it don’t it costed almost nothing.
