2021/2022 Defenders Rumours Thread

[pazza moratti]

I dont get where this Romero cant play at back 3 comes? He has played his last years for back 3 both RCB and in the middle same goes for Skriniar.

De Vrij is not leaving for free cause he has contract to Inter june 30, 2023 and we are going to sell him next summer. So there might be some change that Conte want De Vrij next summer and maybe De Vrij want to join him at Tottenham? Spurs will most likely to play Europa league next season and we have CL games + fight for scudetto and he knows the league and Milano is nice city with fellow Argies, so why not come to Inter? But for a moment its just a dream for me, but I think we really need someone like Romero level CB next season.

As for Bremer there is a change to get him but I dont think Cairo will let him go for cheap and I can see his asking price to start at €40m to €55m?

 

[pazza moratti]

What do you guys think of Romagnoli? Will be free transfer next summer. He would be another capitano

Koulibaly has one year left his contract next summer. But I havent seen him at back 3.

I think Kumbulla also would be interesting option as Mourinho seems to prefer Smalling and Mancini. He looked promising at Verona.

Romagnoli would be perfect D'ambrosio / Dimarco replacement but he is too expensive for that role.

Bremer is our priority to replace De Vrij, we can insert Pinamonti / Satriano in this deal . I think Torino would agree because they need Belotti replacement.

Romagnoli wouldn't be able to play as a side CB.

According transfermarkt he can play as LB, and according rumour Conte want him as LCB at Tottenham.

I would like play Romagnoli than Dimarco all day.

 

[German_Interista]

Tbh I would rather keep Rano than getting Romagnoli and I am not even kidding

 

[Capo]

Is Ginter still an option, links seem to have gone cold.

 

[pazza moratti]

I would like Nicola Milenkovic. At january there was some news that he could make West Ham move just for £13m next summer? Not sure if it legid? But I like him and anythin under €20m Milenkovic would be good deal. His contract ends 2023, but not sure how we could strike a deal with Commisso though…

 

[German_Interista]

I like that idea, everytime we faced Fiorentina I was pretty impressed by him. The sad part about our incoming transfers is that there are so many good and interesting opportunities, but sadly our management doesn't have the money / the permission to spend money. So I can't really see us getting involved in a transfer here.

 

[Il Drago]

Milenkovic has a 15m release clause so if we want him we can easily get him. Problem is he has been subpar this season and he can only play as RCB. We could move Skriniar to the middle but i don't think Milenkovic is good enough to start at Inter. He would be a solid backup though.

 

[brehme1989]

Well, the plan is to sell De Vrij even if he protests the move. He'll end up at Barcelona or in his disbelief, maybe Tottenham.

We're going to go for Bremer so hopefully we can arrange a deal for 25-30m which is what we want, but Torino would push for 35-40m.


Getting Milenkovic instead of overpaying for Acerbi or Luiz Felipe would be very welcome news.

A rotation between Bastoni/Dimarc/Skriniar, Bremer/Skriniar/Ranocchia, Skriniar/Milenkovic/Bremer sounds very good. D'Ambrosio would have to go in this scenario but at least it'd be for an upgrade.

It basically means that we can afford to miss a center back at any moment. Now we can't.

 

[pazza moratti]

That defence would be very good and we need more depth with guality at defence.

We have some chips to use next summer like Pinamonti, Esposito, Sensi, Agoume, Vanheusden, De Vrij + Vecino, Vidal, Dambro and maybe Sanchez free up wages, so there is good chance to upgrade our squad with limited budget.

 

[ADRossi]

Romagnoli is unbelievably slow. He can only play as a LCB if your defensive plan is to park the bus.

 

[Irequis]

Milenkovic sure is a feasible option and he is definitely better option than Romagnoli both quality and financial wise. His dip in form is not unsolvable problem, our current team can elevate player like Alexis, Darmian, or Dumfries cases. The only problem is with the imminent arrival of Bremer, Milenkovic will be a rotation player. I am not sure if he is willing to come here to sit on the bench.

 

[DARi0]

Is Ginter still an option, links seem to have gone cold.

Not really, latest reports confirmed he is heading towards Bayern on a free.

Luiz Felipe is most probably going to Real Betis.

PS: Andreas Christensen is close to joining Barcelona on a free transfer from Chelsea.

 

[Il Drago]

Like i have said countless times, there are no confirmations from Germany about it. The rumors Ginter is joining Bayern on a free are only coming from Italy.

This is the latest rumor about Bayern's search for a cb.

[brehme1989]

I don't think he's on our radar anymore. Too high salary request after Bayern's interest and he probably wants to go there anyway.

Would be funny if we end up with someone named Milan playing next to a Ginter

 

[Bluenine]

10m a year for Christensen? Barca have learnt nothing.

5m net.

It's similar to what we're going to pay Skriniar, assuming we're not idiots.

Boy, do I have a surprise for you.
