Nahitan Nández

Cagliari wants obligation??

Minimum 35 appearances.

Scudetto.

I find these obligation criterias sufficent.

Fuckers have enjoyed way too long our free players.

Why the fuck did we let go Dalbert while we're still in discussion for Nandez? We Should have keep him for our leverage on this (for whatever its worth).

Dalberto is worth nothing thanks to how mediocre he is and his wages. He’s bounced around numerous clubs since he joined us and not one has wanted him after the loan spell. He’ll be back next summer almost guaranteed.

As a uruguayan I tell you, if Nandez joins Inter you are all gonna fall in love with the guy. I'd love to see him come to Inter and finally play in a competitive team, he'll show you what his real value is.

Best player in Uruguay in Copa America.

Falcao's Law bro

I would love for you to fulfil that role. I think you would be great! And you're a real Interista!

I think he is the opposite of Vecino

not becuase of them being clever
but because of inter managers being dumb and lax when dealing with low morale teams

He is actually. Vecino is tall but Nandez is short.

Nandez is a good player, and we are bringing him as a RWB. He is short but strong. His crosses are much better than Hakimi, so is tackling.

Nandez is slower and less of a goal threat than Hakimi (but..who isn't?!?). But Inzaghi's 3-5-2 operates differently. Conte likes to play from the back, stretches the opponent to create space upfront and lobs the ball for Lukaku and Hakimi to race. On the other hand, Inzaghi pushes his 3 CMs higher up, uses short passes to possess balls. His WBs sit deeper just to provide more width.

So I would say, Nandez is more adapted to our tactics, but less for Perisic. No surprised that the Croatian is on the market and we want Telles.

Good observation. Conte had actually tried to play some kind of possession football at the beginning of past season with high defense but failed. Since the deep defending and long balls to Lukaku and Hakimi.
I'm a bit worried if Indzaghi insists to use high defensive line as our CB are not the fastest ones out there.

Yeah this is my fear too. I still remember the early weeks of last season. Matches before Sassuolo when our defending was simply atrocious. We lowered our defence block and the midfield started to be more tight.

There is really a concern if this is changed, how will we manage defensively.

Here's Nandez last season stat.


His versatility obviously brings plus point if we actually got him. Personally, I think he resembles Barella's playing style. Good work rate, decent tackling and crossing.
I think he also adapt to Mezzala role by having played as CM and RM/RWB, although Inzaghi may will play different role for CM.

Ausilio, Baccin and Cagliari DS are having a lunch as we speak to discuss about Nainggolan and Nandez.

LOAN + option to buy, here we go! Make sure to insert those installments in the contract.

I don't really understand this one. Nandez makes sense a vice Brozovic to me. He's good defensively and can pass reasonably well. But as a RWB? He's way too slow and clumsy when running with the ball.

You didn`t get to see much of Nandez last season, did you? Of course he`s not Hakimi speed (nobody out of the potential target list is), but wouldn`t write he`s too slow! Not even slow, lol.

Quite the opposite if I'm not mistaken he played more as right winger than as a cm for them plus he's pretty agile. His crossing isn't good tho

More accurate description. Let me have a try for Nahitan Michel Nández Acosta, a footballer I want in the squad regardless where he will be playing.


1) Physical:
Yes, he`s been playing on the sides and his short heigth (1.72m) seem to put him into considerable advantage on 1 to 1 duels. Quick enough acceleration to beat his man, can run all match while he is built like a tank, so won`t get outmuscled in battles.


2) Mental:
A very valuable team player, fights (does not play) with heart and determination - always welcome addition to our squad. He has persistence and grinta, exactly what you need in top level players. He is very brave and dives into tackles without fear. His decision making shows superior footballing IQ, any comparison to Medel is rubbish. In my opinion his mentality is above De Paul`s, who just went for 35m. The fact that he`s been comfortably owning the right side besides the middle of the park just further ads to the list of reasons we should be signing him.


3) Technical:
Excellent technical abilities - great passing & knows how to fuckin` shoot! His crossings can be further polished in case you`re not happy with the current level. Has both defensive and offensive skills, would even dare to say he is a Conte type of player.


4) Opportunity:
Has a release clause of €36m and luckily Leeds didn`t activate it as Nandez wanted to leave Cagliari only for a much bigger club.
Cagliari payed €17m to Boca Juniors for him in 2019 (fair price TBH), while his highest market value was €26m last summer. Now he is rated at €22m so seems like the perfect moment to get him, especially that he`s still only 25 years old. Not that we care, but Cagliari have secured Razvan Marin by activating his clause to make the loan permanent, got Strootman on loan and and we are feeding them Nainggolan. I`m confident we`ll get him, as he was made a promise last season by Cagliari president:

“Things are going well and we are honoured by the interest from Inter,” agent Pablo Bentancur told fcinter1908.it.

“When Cagliari secured their Serie A safety, there was a promise. Cagliari President Tommaso Giulini said he’d help Nandez if a big club came calling this summer.

“The President has an excellent rapport with Inter, so we’ll see.”

5) Weaknesses:
Aerial duels and finishing, as can be seen in these videos:




6) Conclusion: Finally a player that I`m excited about sining this summer!

This guy is the real deal, I`m 120% approving this transfer.
I mean just by watching Serie A highlights he should have convinced FIF members by now. Please don`t let yourself fooled by his stats - he plays in a shitty team that barely avoided relegation last season (literally 4 points away from it), so imagine what he will be able to perform over here! I strongly believe in Nandez as he has shown over the past years in Serie A that he deserves a better team.

If you guys liked Telles, you will love Nandez. Think Telles on steroids.

The guy is good. Cagliari was an odd choice for him given how important he was at Boca.

He's not like Barella, apart from the running and showing grinta. If that's the only thing you see on Barella, then sure, they're alike.

The guy is a warrior and we need such players. But don't expect him to win you games. But you can assume that at points he'll help us not lose games. D'Ambrosio will love this guy.

would never pay Nández 3 million euros. great fighter, not much else. hope to be proven wrong

The thing is we want him as a rwb. Grinta isn't enough to be our starting rwb. He needs to have speed and stamina to play the whole side, he needs to be a decent defender and a decent crosser. It wouldn't hurt if he has a good off the ball movement and has an eye for goal. Does he have any of those traits?

Why are you guys so certain he’s coming in to play as a wing back? We need midfielders for sure after Vidal, Radja, Eriksen and maybe even Sensi leave. He can obviously cover as a wing back if need be but I’m sure Dest/Bellerin/Dumfries/whoever will be first choice rotating with Darmian
