According to Romano, the stumbling block about Alonso is Chelsea are asking for Inter to pay full of his wages on top of an expensive loan fee.

Fuck them. His net salary is apparently 5m€ which is simply ridiculous. Free loan + 50% of the salary.

Fabrizio Romano: No agreement Chelsea-Inter for Marcos Alonso on loan.

I believe we're certainly trying for Alonso. I don't think it was a coincidence Conte mentioned we have only 3 players for the wings.

If we grab a "real" LWB by the winter. I think we can challenge for CL, assuming most players stay healthy.

Throwing Nicolás Tagliafico out there in case any Inter employee is lurking this forum.

Nizaar Kinsella (reliable Chelsea journalist):

Despite Marcos Alonso having a falling out with Lampard in front of the squad at half-time against West Brom, he was deemed too expensive for Inter to sign.

Antonio Conte instructed his club to move for the Spain international at the weekend instead of Emerson but the talks ultimately proved unviable.

That switch in priority pushed Emerson towards Juventus on deadline day. However, they focused on signing Federico Chiesa from Fiorentina first and then ran out of time to do a deal for the left-back. It is understood that the Serie A champions have said they continue to be interested in doing a deal ahead of the January transfer window.

Linked to Maksimovic again. Rumor goes the difference between the demand and what Napoli offer for new salary is 800k and we've contaccted his agent (Fali Ramadani). I don't think Napoli is going to sell him this January unless he's not used at all by Gattuso. They don't need the little money they can get. So this is more like a free transfer thing for the summer if anything.

As long as Inter want Maksimovic as a backup i am ok with him. He's a decent cb and he already has experience with a back 3 from his time at Torino.

Milan, Juventus and Inter are reportedly interested in Verona’s centre-back Matteo Lovato but the Rossoneri have three more transfer targets they want to sign in January.

According to Il Corriere di Torino :lol: , both Juventus and Inter have set sights on the promising defender who is being linked with Milan by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

@Maksimovic: do we know what he is currently earning / asking?

Read Maksimovic is asking 2.5m€ net. Too much IMO given COVID. But he's probably an adequate backup. It's just that Napoli don't need to sell for cheap. They don't need the extra money.

I'm sure they would rather take something than lose him on the free. It's a fine line though.

Gattuso wants Vecino. I am sure something can be worked out.

I`m not in a hury to have Maksimovic in the squad, we are covered on paper.

Where we are not covered good enough is Lukaku competitor, so I`d rather use the Vecino card on Milik.

I think I'd rather get Giroud on a short term deal. Not sure if Milik is what we need longer-term. But at least he'd be adequate to stunt Lukaku to give him rest, I guess.

Jesus fuck :palm:

One day, long after this fuck has left, all the stories of his insane demands will come to light (in addition to what we already know).

We already know he tried to sell Skriniar but I bet it’ll be revealed that he tried to green light Lautaro to Barca for €40m + Vidal + Firpo, and wanted to buy Izzo, Rudiger, Dzeko, Giroud and Zappacosta or some bullshit.

Calciomercato is linking us again to Tagliafico. He just signed a new contract till 2023 (old contract was until 2022). It's getting picked up by Dutch Media, supposedly he only agreed to extend his contract if his asking price will be 25M this summer.

Still thinking it will solve our problems on the LWB position for not a lot of money (transfer price and salary wise).

We over pay for everyone. And then triple their wages so pretty sure your last comment is false

It depends on who's gonna be the coach. If we have a new coach, Tagliafico could be a target for Inter next summer. But if Conte is still around, then only Marcos Alonso exists for him.
