Well if we gonna sell a centerback then for sure the one I'm willing to let go is de Vrij.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the central CB in a back 3 should 1) be a great ball carrier thus technically adept 2) have a high-level of passing/playmaking ability. I'm not sure but I think that rules out Bremer. As a personal preference I'd like an athletic and speedy CB so that we can implement a high-line if need be. Although not a fan of either, I think Rudiger and to a lesser extent Sule would be better suited for the role. With both contracts are running out in 2022I have been extremely impressed by Bremer every single time I've seen him. He's one of the three best center backs (and by that I mean the central defender in a three-man backline) in the league, and he's only 24. He also has something ridiculous like almost 10 goals in under 80 matches as a defender for a relegation-threatened side.
Maybe I'm falling victim to the epidemic notion that "the grass is nearly always greener on the other side" that thrives so well on this website, because, for sure, De Vrij has been nothing short of a fantastic purchase for us. And I'm not saying Bremer would definitely, immediately be at that level and provide the stoic calm and playing out from the back that Stefan does.
But if it's true that he and Raiola are looking for that Premier League adventure, I don't see why we shouldn't sell a thirty year old De Vrij for a hefty, Premier League-inflated price next summer if we can get Bremer for something that resembles a reasonable deal.
If we find ourselves in that situation, with our finances, I don't see a better solution.
decentAccording to Calciomercato, Inter already have agreed terms with Kostic. 2.5m net per season. They will try to find an agreement with Eintracht over 8-10m plus bonuses.
I'm not sure if De Vrij has actually been that important in our ball playing game in the regard you state it.Correct me if I'm wrong but the central CB in a back 3 should 1) be a great ball carrier thus technically adept 2) have a high-level of passing/playmaking ability.

One of the reason why I won't be sad to see him go.I'm not sure if De Vrij has actually been that important in our ball playing game in the regard you state it.
Yep. But he has experience playing at a higher level than Bremer also playing a high line.Sule? I don't know about him, has look insecure everytime I've seen him
this was debated before at length, i know Skrinny has played centrally before, even in midfield, but I'm not convinced he can do it at a high level, consistently. As you said he's solid, passing and distributing, but his control is suspect. I would like to see more of him in the role, there's potential.We can always move Skriniar central, he will be solid enough.
True.I can't see why Rudiger or Christensen would switch from Chelsea to Inter. I mean, we ain't gonna pay more than Chelsea.
Are Torino pressed so high up the pitch like we are? Does Bremer support the midfield in build up play? Expectations at Inter are different than at Torino and this is what Bremer will need to bring to the table. We all know our track record with lesser-knowns. And then we see what's going on with Kumbulla who we were so convinced was the next big thing. Players should come to Inter as close to ready made as possible. For me Bremer is too much of a risk especially considering our finances. What if he flops?As for Bremer, he is specifically playing as the central CB for Torino this season.
Actually, Skriniar has played on high level if you count derbies in Italy and CL games in Spalletti's second season here. He was shifted as RCB since Conte came, mostly because SDV was better in passing and total shit playing wide. I think Skri will be boss centrally as even a player like Ranocchia looks decent there.this was debated before at length, i know Skrinny has played centrally before, even in midfield, but I'm not convinced he can do it at a high level, consistently.

All teams in serie A are being pressed highly by the opponents at some moments during the match. But because i don't follow too much Torino and Bremer in particular, i don't know how he is doing under pressure.True.

I mean in back 3. Role and responsibilites are completely different.Actually, Skriniar has played on high level if you count derbies in Italy and CL games in Spalletti's second season here.
What i mean is do Torino insist on playing from the back in the same way we do? We've all seen the kind of devil-may-care passes Handa makes, well Onana is worseAll teams in serie A are being pressed highly by the opponents at some moments during the match. But because i don't follow too much Torino and Bremer in particular, i don't know how he is doing under pressure.
We're too broke to rely on luck. At this point we need a sure thing.Your example with Kumbulla is adequate, but another one is Mancini. He moved to Roma, and he's doing pretty fine there. You need some luck in those deals as well.
Ginter is a RCB. He lacks communication and commanding skills to play centrally. But he would be our best passer from the back. Maybe move Skrinair centrally then and Ginter to the right.
Bremer has impressed the club who believe that he could be a viable first-team option with the likes of Danilo D’Ambrosio, Aleksandar Kolarov, and Andrea Ranocchia’s deals all expiring next summer and Stefan de Vrij’s situation also up in the air as the Dutchman’s contract runs out at the end of June 2023.
TuttoShit: Torino centre-back Bremer is not ready to agree on a contract extension at his current club, and talks have not progressed despite the Granata having put an offer forward.
FCInterNews: his club would likely be willing to sell him for around €10-12 million.The Brazilian is also reported to be a target of Napoli as well as Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.
Torino are hoping to secure the player’s future given that his current deal is set to expire at the end of June 2023, but so far he has given no indication that he is prepared to accept their offer worth a net of €1.8 million per season to renew.
At the moment, the Granata value the defender at no less than €30 million, but they could be moved to agree on a deal for considerably less should no agreement be found with him on a renewal as his contract moves towards its end.
Let's hope so but I wouldn't put money on it. What if Spurs bid anywhere between 40-60M?Not a chance we sell a starter in January. It would put our entire season into jeopardy and even a top 4 finish would be at risk. A De Vrij sale is possible only in the summer.
