Yes technically we can pay like 30m€ but then our squad would be a bit thin.

What I meant is we cannot offer Lautaro same kind of contract as Barcelona do, if the base salary keeps rising to 10m€ then all the added bonuses on top of that. And all this without the tax reduction like it is the case with our big earners Lukaku and Eriksen. We don't have such revenue streams yet to accommodate such salaries.

Lautaro is our star player but he's still so young that we cannot give him same kind of contract.

I agree that we are fascinated by the plusvalenza in his sale, but I hope Barcelona cannot make it with their sales and the management "needs" to keep him.

We can triple his 1.5m€ base salary. I read Barca's offer is 7.5m€ base salary with rising component throughout the contract. We can't get there but cc suggested, if they have so much money for his contract, they better just find the money for the release clause then. This should be explained to Lautaro agent if he starts to moan about the transfer. That's what the release clause is there for. For buyers to come in and buy the guy when Inter don't want to let him go.

According to Pedulla, we offered 5m per season to Lautaro but he rejected it.

Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano in his article on Guardian:

Barcelona are refusing to give up on their pursuit of Internazionale’s Lautaro Martínez despite the Serie A side saying that any club interested in the Argentinian would have to pay the full release clause of €111m (£99.6m). The two clubs have been in discussions for more than three months about a possible move for the highly rated 22-year-old Martínez but the Inter sporting director, Piero Ausilio, told Sky Sports Italia on Wednesday night that they do not want to sell him.

“We want Lautaro to be part of our future. He will not be sold, unless the release clause is met,” Ausilio said. “Barcelona know this and so do the other clubs who have contacted us.”

Barcelona are refusing to give up, however, and the Guardian understands that the two clubs are carrying on talks and that the Catalan club are weighing up an offer of €90m plus one player as a makeweight.

Mundodeportivo today:

"Lautaro will be done at the end of July
The 111 million clause expires the first fortnight of July and Barça, with the ‘yes’ of the crack, does not flinch at the notice of the DT of Inter"

:work:
Barça has not been moved by the statements of Piero Ausilio to Sky Sports and in which the technical director of Inter referred to the clause of 111 million to all the suitors of Lautaro Martínez, with the Blaugrana club at the top.

The Catalan position has a simple explanation and even an advantageous position. Having, as it has, the agreement with the footballer for the next five seasons, if Inter insists on scrupulously applying the clause, the solution is a matter of time. Let the first two weeks of July pass and that obstacle will be gone. In other words, the Argentine will no longer have a clause and will have a market price."

Advantageous position? :lol: Barcelona board have learned nothing from the Verratti/Rabiot/Neymar sagas. Having an agreement with the player means jack shit if you can't find an agreement with his team. Especially when he has 3 years left in his contract. Inter also had an agreement with Vidal in January but he's still at Barca.

Yeah, unless they persuade Lautaro to push for the transfer, nothing is going to happen.

On the other hand would be idiotic from Lautaro's side to start pushing for the transfer by sulking etc. He can potentially ruin a lot of stuff for himself by doing so. At least that how it should be, specially now that we have a strong leadership and owners. There's a lot of left of his contract so he can keep playing for that 1.5m€ base salary. :D It's possible he starts to think twice before rejecting those renewal offers where he triples his wages.

But Inter need to prepare for everything. We need to have deals ready in place if the agreement with Barcelona starts to get closer (like if they can sell Coutinho somehow). No matter what, our management needs to stay strong. They cannot allow themselves to be pushed around in the transfer market by Barcelona's usual tactics.

He won't come this year, and signs of massive decline of both your team and Messi can changes his opinion.
If he does not leave this summer, which I'm expecting he doesn't thank to the coronavirus, he'll probably end up extending.

Barca should just activate the releaseclause if they really want him!

Theres 45 days until the clause ends. First 2 weeks in July.

Plenty of time to sell many of their recent grandioso flops to fund Lautaro @ 110M , 10M going to Racing.

I mean if they can pay 140M for Dembele, 150M for Coutinho , 120M for Griezmann, 20M for Braithwurst you can find a nice 110M agreement with Marotta. Its not that hard.

I never thought that there exists more shitty source than Tuttosport, but apparently there is. Who the hell buys this Mundo Deportivo thrash?

Ausilio to Sky: “If Barça contacted Lautaro... they know they must pay his release clause or he’ll not leave Inter. We didn’t spoke with Lautaro about Barça because we want to keep him. Arturo Vidal? We’re not working to get him

Bartomeu and Abidal multiple times. Also Pique, Suarez and Xavi.

This actually means: "We have to iron some small details with Barcelona and Lautaro soon will sign with them."

Barcelona doesn't usually do that unless they have the player's blessing. Just saying.

Definitely. And unlike Vidal and Arthur, our guy has not come out and said he preferred to stay.

It's a long way though from silent approval to pushing for a move, which what Barca is actually trying to engineer

After Ausilio’s statement the other day the rumors of him to Barca have died down. Any chance Ausilio already knew Icardi was going to be signed by PSG and therefore Inter don’t need the money anymore?
