Just a reminder, Bremer has a thread.

 

[diamen]

De Vrij to Tottenham with Conte?

I think it's the same position as Cristian Romero so it seems unlikely

 

[IM21]

Sky saying inter are interested in Cambiaso from Genoa. Atalanta and Juve as well.

You read it first on FIF.

In case we sign Gosens, it would be nice if we could make an investment on a youngster for his backup. I am thinking about Cambiaso (cool name ) and Parisi.

 

[junior55]

Precisely.

Bremer is the guy you want if you need a starter in Serie A. Any outsider from Serie A is a no-no. Bremer has now played for Juric, does a tremendous job leading that Torino defensive line. I'm worried exactly about the timing of possible De Vrij sale. If Raiola pulls Raiola, he might try to block the sale completely to allow a free transfer in 2023 (or force an extension). Not TOTALLY out of the question is to run with De Vrij AND Bremer and let De Vrij walk away for free in 2023, but that option would require some financial shenanigans, whatever they would be. Very unlikely.

TBH i wouldn't even mind if he goes on free.
We got him on free anyway and its not that you can sell him for 40M or smth.

If Raiola wants to push for leaving on free i welcome one more year of De Vrij with our colours otherwise if we sell him we get a nice profit

The thing is we need to generate cash to make our summer moves. We need money for Bremer, Scamacca and Frattesi. We can't buy all of them with our own players. That's why I think our management wants to sell him now. But another option is to keep him one year and figure out the CB situation in 2023.

 

[Il Drago]

Losing players on a free is a disaster in our financial situation. Either we sell him in the summer or we extend his contract. There's no other option.

 

[Pravesh]

Yeah, we can not afford to lose players for free. Atleast by selling soon, we can sign a quality replacement with that money (for eg. De Vrij -- Bremer).

 

[Corrode]

and figure out the CB situation in 2023.

our three CB will left us soon next 6 months, not in 2023. We need new 1/2 CB more.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Losing players on a free is a disaster in our financial situation. Either we sell him in the summer or we extend his contract. There's no other option.

There is surely an option. Use him for the last year and then let him walk.

Scenario 1 where we extend him so we don't lose him for free includes having to pay him higher level salary for the next 3-4 years.

Scenario 2 where we don't extend him but use him for one year includes having him on his current, cheaper contract for one year and then look for longer term replacement. Who will have this lower level salary, probably even lower than De Vrij's current one. Transfer fees are then needed but it's about kicking the can further down the road when it comes to paying money (actual payments and when amortizations start can be deferred with loan shenanigans etc).

I'm actual turning to that scenario 2 if there is no proper market for De Vrij this summer. I hope there is and I believe there is, but IF there is not, I'd use him one more year and then let him walk or try to negotiate extension with same salary etc. De Vrij is getting older and the game might become a bit too fast for him so giving a fat extension has enormous risks too. Let's see.

Bremer is the guy you want if you need a starter in Serie A. Any outsider from Serie A is a no-no.

This is exactly the logic that makes you spend 30m on Correa and 6 months later you wonder why you did it in the first place. Talented players don't exist only in Serie A. There are many examples of "Serie A proven" players who were big failures and players from outside Serie A who were successes. If you only consider players from Serie A then your options are very limited and the chances of signing a flop are higher.

This has nothing to do with Bremer, whom i rate highly, but it's about the argument of going only after Serie A proven players in general.

 

[CafeCordoba]

I don't know, I wouldn't compare Lazio Correa to Torino Bremer. Bremer has been BOSSING this season. I don't know if Correa has ever BOSSED in Serie A. Has he ever been a consistent starter for Lazio for example? So I don't know if we can use Serie A proven argument with Correa, he wasn't in such a key role in Lazio ever like Bremer has been for Torino this season.

To me, defender playing well in Serie A is a good sign, a starter playing in such a role Bremer has done is a good sign. Every case is separate and "Serie A proven" argument needs to be used case by case in my books.

Wouldn't use "Serie A proven" argument with Correa, I mean, with that valuation.

 

[PHM1605]

I don't think Bremer was any good before this season. He is currently half-season wonder. He is less "Serie A proven", if you wanna use that term, than e.g. Piatek or Manolas.

He was quite good last season, too.

We wanted him in the winter of 2019 actually [when we only got Cedric on loan], where he wasn't even a half-season wonder as he didn't show that much, but it's better if we manage to get him just now, he wouldn't have developed the same way I suppose. Marotta did not want to approve any long term transfers at the time, with so much shit going on and all the other shit that erupted afterwards. Torino was not willing to loan a starting center back to us for a few months, they wanted the transfer obligation included so we simply abandoned the quest. I think he was sort of frozen from the team until his transfer saga would play out, and we weren't the only side after him. But truth be told, he wasn't as impressive as he looks now.

Don't think we chased him under Conte, but before Bastoni sticking to the first team after Conte's request, we were considering several backup stoppers and Bremer probably was one of them since he already was on our radar as well as main ones in case Skriniar was sold [Bremer obviously wasn't considered for that part, we'd get a left footed one]. I know for sure Liverpool made a low bid for him before committing to pay full price for Konate, and a few other PL clubs wanted him 1-2 seasons ago but they never reached a deal.

He's definitely less of a gamble than Skriniar was, who had one relatively good season with Sampdoria but nothing more was expected. I trust Ausilio and the scouting team when it comes to center backs, they hardly got a wrong one since Murillo, who was the actual half-season wonder!

Apart from De Vrij who was obvious plus Miranda and Godin who were veterans, and excluding any short term deals, their resume is Skriniar, Bastoni (at 17) and Vanheusden (at 16, we all understand that he'd be around if he wasn't injured so much). And if there's an argument that they strongly recommended the first three, it just gets even better.
Before that we got Vidic, Thohir's request, Matias Silvestre (Branca), Rolando (Branca), excluding Andreolli's return for club trained quotas mostly and our beloved Ranocchia, plus several loanees.

So if these guys want Bremer, I like Bremer

The thing is there's a CB atm, who is playing as good as our defenders and his contract ends in 2023. Bremer's agent has already given us a priority. Even Rube is after him , Rube twitter fellas have already written of Bremer being one of the targets( aging backline and they want to upgrade plenty of positions with DeLigt sale money especially a new CB). Bremer will have Gosens like wages too, If we pass on this chance, I feel we are gonna regret it. What we should do is find an agreement with Torino first thing in July when the market opens and then see what realistic offers are there for DeVrij. There's 2 months to go before mercato closes. Raiola can be a pain in the ass, but he'll tickle for EPL cash. He would obv likes a sale if we have secured a replacement.

Bremer will have 1 full year with terrorist Juric, I bet even Allegri watches Torino matches and jacks off or smth lol.

 

[Nerazzurri_Ninja]

looks like Barca are getting Traore there goes my dream of him as our RWB

 

[IM21]

Di Marzio is saying we want to give Frosinone 7M for Gatti in June... wtf? This guy is gonna be 24 and is worth 1.5M on transfermarkt.

Inter, incontro con l'agente per Federico Gatti

L'Inter pensa anche a Federico Gatti del Frosinone: le ultime

gianlucadimarzio.com

Inter meet with Federico Gatti's agent: the latest

Inter are thinking about adding to their defence. They show interest in Frosinone's Federico Gatti, who has drawn attention from Juventus, Napoli and Torino.

There was a meeting held in the evening between Ausilio and Federico Gatti's agent. Inter are ready to offer 7 million euros in June, but Frosinone want to close the deal now. They may have to fend off competition from Sassuolo, who have good relations with Frosinone.

Federico Gatti has collected 19 appearances, 3 goals and 1 assist so far this season in Serie B.

 

[Capo]

Sosa: He was great last season and finished the season with 10 assists.

Angelino: One of the best attacking wingbacks in the world

Out of these two, who would be better for our system? And why would you have Kostic on your list.

**Note**
In a space of week, I dont know wtf is going on. I even quoted Il Drago about signings they may eventuate with Kostic being the preferred option for mine but never posted.

Gosens was on his way to the relegation zone of Newcastle and voila, Don Beppe suddenly signs a quality lwb....

Its never dull being an inter fan...

 

[sdvroot]

Federico Gatti is most likely D'Ambrosio's replacement.
