Summer mercato 2021

[ACM2023]

EDIT: Di Marzio confirmed Maldini's revised offer to Brescia for Tonali is as follows: 15m euros paid immediately + additional 10m euros IF we qualify again for the champions league.

Remainder of 40m euros owed by Inter to Madrid for Hakimi was paid with part of the 275m loan Inter received from OAKTREE capital. They need to sell 80m worth of players to balance the books. That will be easy because either one of Lukaku or Martinez would fetch them in and around that on their own. Wouldn't count Merda out although losing Conte so soon is a big indicator of a potentially bleak future for them.

Tonali not being redeemed wouldn't surprise me much. He was nothing special. We all want to convince ourselves that he will be one day because of the expectations, but sometimes we need to look past that. He was very close to utter shit in my honest opinion With that being said, I'd gamble on the prospect but don't blame Maldini for trying to lower the price significantly.

Multiple sources are confirming that Meite will be sent back to Torino without redemption. To replace him for the role Pioli originally requested on his signature will be Fofana, previously of Udinese & apparently unhappy at Lens now. He really impressed me at Torino and is certainly a better player than Meite

I'm still sincerely hoping that we have a chance to get Dybala. Early rumours are 25-30m + Romagnoli (steal in my opinion). A motivated Dybala is up there in the top 10 attacking players in the world in my opinion. Will be equivalent to when we stole Pirlo/Seedorf from merda back in the day

If true, that's fair to me. As much as I like Tonali, he wasn't the main reason that we qualify for CL. He is still considered to be a luxury to have (for the future) and a gamble too.

When we regularly participate in CL, at least we will be in a better financial position to afford such luxury.
