im sure Inter will want him. The problem is he's playing really well this season and a bunch of other clubs will also be interested.

My curiosity is what will Chelsea do with him ? He's a goat if he plays behind forwards as an amc. Chelsea already have Havertz ,Mount and even Ziyech for the position. They will probably use him as a striker and I'm pretty sure it'll be such a big waste.

10 years of FIFThat might aswell be true, Sportsmediaset can have a legit rumor. The thing is what @IM21 said, there are a lot of other suitors too, so while we might be working on it, there others doing the same thing.
Would sign Thuram and sell Correa instantly.

10 years of FIFDepends on how we play next season. If we play with a lone striker 3 forwards would be enough. We can look for free forwards like Thuram or extend Dzeko on a lower salary to play back up to Lautaro upfront. If we switch to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 we mostly need wingers than forwards for the next season.

Most Improved MemberI do believe that Thuram is a legit rumor as we are on the verge of taking him previously. Anyway, he is not a coach's choice but Marotta and Ausilio's, since he could end up as Gosens. Especially if we renew Dzeko's contract.

Best Overall PosterWhen was the last time an ex Inter coach took the garbage he brought with him to his next team? I don't remember any. Coaches leave one day but we always get stuck with their trash requests.

10 years of FIFOne of these days Conte will buy Lazaro back, I believe.
On the topic of forwards, I guess we can sell Lauti, Correa, and let Dzeko walk and get uuuuuuh...Jo David, Hlozek (Sparta Praha)/Goncalo Ramos (Benfica)/Sesko (Salzburg), Thuram, and renew the Lukaku loan? Seeing as we're spitballing ideas.
The forwards market is really quite small at the moment. I would be quite reluctant to let go of Lautaro to get a somewhat unknown quantity in.

10 years of FIFForum SupporterDon't kid yourself, our forward market consists of Zapata, Lasagna, and a Dzeko renewal.

You speak as if we could afford a whole lasagna, maybe a half tray or a single piece, but not a whole one.

The problem is they’re always too old when we get them and then we pay out their retirement.

Best Football PosterBest Overall PosterRegarding forwards it is a very tricky situation. As we saw last summer with Dybala we can't sign anyone, even on a free, unless we're certain about an exit.
We never closed for Dybala because there was no guarantee we could offload one of Dzeko and Correa. We signed Lukaku only because it was a certainty we would give a golden handshake to Sanchez. It was only a matter of when.
So giving an extension to Dzeko would diminish any chances for Thuram. Thuram isn't going to wait for Inter so management needs to decide now. We can argue that Correa could be offloaded in the summer but management needs to make a decision in January with the knowledge Correa still has two years left in his contract and a substantial value in our books. So it will probably come between Thuram and Lukaku. Problem is we don't have a fair assessment of what current Lukaku can offer because of his fitness. So any decision would be made on a guess.
