Let's see the final details, but for now a dry 10 mln loan with 7 mln salary is not exactly "harming our fragile finances", provided that we have to get a reliable forward anyway. I don't see a cheaper option on the market, except if we get Cavani or Suuarez or some another free oldie, which particularly for me is not a better solution.
Lukaku won't accept bench position and we cannot field Lautaro Dybala Lukaku as starters.If we sell Skriniar to accomodate Lukaku's expense then it is one of most ridiculous mercato ever. Furthermore Correa, Dzeko, and Alexis are more than sufficient as our backup forward. Our most urgent need is not forward, but keeping our core players intact especially the players who bleed black and blue like Skriniar.

It's more important to cut off his salary than selling him. Of course that Inter would be happy to get money for Dzeko, but it won't happen. I believe that Marotta will tell him he can go if he finds a good offer for him.

Lukaku salary would be as same as Dzeko with the growth decree rule
I understand that, but I'm afraid we'd have to pay him anyway to leave :lol:

LoL. We definitely won't keep all of Correa, Dzeko and Sanchez even without Lukaku's arrival. And it's quite optimistic to rely only on injury prone Dybala and inconsistent Lautaro as starters, with injury prone and inconsistent Correa + 37 years old Dzeko as substitutes.
Anyway, a major sale (doesn't matter it is Skriniar, Bastoni, Lautaro or Barella) was on the air a long time ago before the possible Lukaku's comeback. This is not related at all. If you think that we won't sell a core player if Lukaku does not come, you are in a big delusion.

it will be easier to sign Lukaku if we could bring some eastern european conglomerate to acquire Inter from Suning.

if that happens we'll buy Perišić back in the winter and Džeko would bench Lukaku and Dybala

eastern european conglomerate is maybe not the way to go if we want to be a serious club

1. I don't want him back.
2. It is okay, as long as Dybala also comes and Lautaro stays. And hopefully no sacrifices are made.
3. I understand Skriniar or someone may have to be sacrificed, but I'll be livid if that happens specifically to pave way for Lukaku.
4. It will be a tragedy if there is an obligation to redeem him, as some reports claim. It has to be a pure loan. Pay 5-10m extra for the price of the loan, but no way should we have an obligation.

If you read this, Fuck You Lukaku if you are the reason we lose Skriniar.
we are losing skriniar cause we need to make 60M, not cause of a loan deal for Lukaku.

Decisions like this one have led to selling Skriniar.

When it's Bastoni's or Barella's turn next year, it won't be because we got Lukaku back but because we need 60m again. Why would we need 60m after making 120m on plusvalenza already?

Imagine signing Lukaku on loan, selling Skriniar and giving up on signing Dybala because of signing Lukaku, and then Lukaku sucking. That's a likely scenario I really like to avoid, but the latest reports don't look very encouraging.

Skriniar is going to be sold regardless of Dybala or Lukaku. You can't escape the fact were going to sell a star player because you don't want to. Management refuse to sell Lautaro. Barella and Bastoni both already refused moves. Skriniar is the only player left with enough value to sell. PSG generally get whatever they want.

Let's not start a narrative that Lukaku or any other player is costing us Skriniar. Suning are costing us Skriniar. The only way we don't sell him is if Dumfries is sold for a big amount and Suning are fine not hitting the 60 target. Which let's face it, will not happen.
