Ironic this news comes out amid his COVID rumors.

Fratessi and a fit returning Sensi will satisfy me.

Gags Vecino out and keep Vidal of wages lowered.

Because he provides solid back up, on lower wages it's for sure a decent option, we have financial problems.. no nonsense about it, but good chat, you put your point across well and mature.

I would be fine if we get two of Frattesi, Sensi or Vidal and one DM like Kamara, to give options to Brozovic.

I like Sensi as player but maybe Vidal would be more useful, cause Sensi can’t stay fit? But Vidal should take a big paycut to stay at Inter.

I really hope Gags leave this summer… that would be enough to make me happy!

Vidal can leave too. He's absolutely useless.

He can go and play for Flamengo because he is at least two years past his used by date.

Yikes! Inter can only afford Frattesi, maybe keep Sensi and maybe Vidal on a lower wage...not good. Inter should have bought Locatelli, when maybe Inter had a chance.

Sensi can't be trusted, I think he lost all credibility and he has to go. We can't have him occupy one place in midfield and never be able to count on him. Put him in some deal, or whatever.

I saw a report saying Monza would pay around 10M for him if they get to Serie A.

I saw that too. I would say the valuation reflects the confidence that other clubs have in his fitness.

In any event, he needs to find a new club because when it comes to playing for Inter, he has some sort of psychological block that stops him from even getting on the field let alone actually putting in convincing performances on the pitch. We simply can not rely on him and his continued presence in the squad has come at the expense of another player that could actually make a contribution.

Anything we could get for Sensi is a bonus. He has essentially only contributed his first month here and last game in the coppa. In 2.5 years.

Good bye.

The fact that monza is the club looking to buy him tells us how far he has fallen.

I love how agents offer their clients to Inter, knowing that we are broke and hoping they might get a bite.

So with Fratessi and Nandez it could be nice our ratation 3-ed player + G5

We desperately need another playmaker in the midfield.

Yeah. All of our reserves are straight grinta merchants. We need a technical player off the bench.

With all 3 of Vecino, Vidal and Sensi leaving we need 3 new midfielders. Not just for numbers, but to bring more quality than these 3 brought to Inter.

Since we don't have enough money I think two of them might come for free or low cost options, so it's the board job to find the right ones. Our 3 starting midfield trio not only need better back ups, but we need players who could challenge them for the starting spot.

Just don't sign any dinosaurs on high salary. We need fresh legs with less ego and more hunger.

We have now seen that with Hakan-Brozovic-Barella we struggle against more physical teams and against other big clubs, like against Juve Locatelli, Zakaria, Radiot dominated our midfield and Barella and Hakan struggled one/one. We also saw again that Brozo also struggle games like this where opponent press hard and Brozo made mistakes.

If you look at most big clubs they have at least one good DM in their roster…

City: Rodri, Fernandinho Liverpool: Fabinho, Henderson, Keita Chelsea: Kante Real Madrid: Casemiro, Valverde Juve: Locatelli, Zakaria…

So I would prioritise at least one good DM next summer. We were linked to Boubacar Kamara who seems to be good enough with a ball and good at defending. He has also played at defence so could be really good addition? He would be free transfer.

Tchouameni also seems promising but there is lot of hype and will be expensive.

We are also linked to Frattesi/Veretout type of player to replace Vecino/Vidal and I’m ok with eather of them if we don’t over pay?

Maybe keep Agoume and rotate him with Kamara at DM position?

So Kamara/Agoume rotate DM position and Brozovic, Barella, Hakan, Veretout/Frattesi/Gags rotate LCM/RCM positions. I think this would be feasible to our budget?

Some games where there is less pressure or games where we can keep posession with ease, we can use Hakan-Brozo-Barella line.

But with that midfield we can fight for scudetto, but we can’t challenge CL.

If we wan’t to challenge CL we need to sell Barella who has most value and try to upgrade him with someone like SMS/Pogba. Someone who can greate something out of nothing and score more and use his hight to dominate and bring that extra something!

I would also be willing to play with idea of selling Barella (~€70-80m) and get one promising future star like Camavinga, Gravenberch… someone who has that extra something… potential to explode! I think Barella has hit his peak. I really can’t see him dominate anything with that hight.

Zaniolo would also be interesting option, but with that injury history and some attitude problems there are some red flags? But with proper DM and Brozovic we could give someone like him or Hakan more freedom to create and help with the attack.

Yes we`ve been linked to him due to his expiring contract. Have never seen Florian Grillitsch in action, however I believe he would accept a reserve role in the squad, so it`s certainly a realistic option.

Boubacar Kamara is currently worth 25M with his contract expiring in summer!

His stats are looking good for a 22 year old DM. Anyone knows where he will be playing next season? He can probably ask for a starting spot and good salary - so we`re most probably out of this race. Goal wrote that Atletico Madrid were leading the race for his signature back in March, while most recently I have read that "AS Roma have been told that Manchester United already have a transfer agreement in place".


Latest: we have been linked to the other son of Thuram,

Khéphren Thuram​

Inter and Juventus both sent scouts to Nice’s most recent match to watch midfielder Khephren Thuram, who is a transfer target for both.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who report that both clubs were keenly following the 21-year-old in the 1-1 draw with Rennes in which he appeared for 73 minutes.

Thuram, who is the son of former Bianconeri and Parma defender Lilian Thuram as well as brother of Inter-linked Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram, has caught the eye of both the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri.

For now, there are no concrete talks for the Nice midfielder, but both clubs are considering him an option to reinforce their midfield in the coming transfer windows.

Meanwhile, more concretely, the Bianconeri are trying to overtake Inter in the race to sign Davide Frattesi from Sassuolo this summer, with both clubs making the 22-year-old a priority target to bolster their central options.

3 goals and 2 assists at only 21 years old playing as DM
Quite tall 1.91 cm - problem is the contract has been recenly extended by Nice.

Any concrete news about Vidal's spot replacement?
