Nunez please
We can't afford that sadly. Benfica paid 24 million for him, they would want 60 million minimum for him. Ideally we would get one of Nunez or Adeyemi to partner up with Lautaro. But we all know that's not gonna happen.

They can't extend azpillicueta. Triggering the clause is considered a new contract. They aren't allowed to sign new contracts.
This is an interesting interpretation. May I ask what is your source?

I have graduated law school among others, have a master`s degree in civil law and this is what I have found with regards to his contract:
Chelsea have an option to extend Azpilicueta's contract for another year but it is conditional on his appearances in certain competitions.

Although the exact numbers are unknown, the defender is thought to be close to hitting the figure that would spark a renewal.

The Blues are currently under sanctions because of their owner Roman Abramovich and alleged connections to the Kremlin and Russian president Vladimir Putin.

It blocks both transfers and contract renewals but Azpilicueta's deal would likely be waved through due to it being agreed before March 10.

It seems that Marotta could not reach an agreement with Sassuolo for Scamacca on his terms yet, so he is pulling the options card: Sébastien Haller.
The Franco-Ivorian plays for Ajax where he was the absolute protagonist in the Champions League this season with 11 goals.
Haller became the first player to score across seven consecutive UEFA Champions League matches during the 2021–22 season, with an eighth in his next match chalked off for offside.

The Nerazzurri, reveals 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', have taken concrete steps: in recent days there was a meeting with his agent in Milan, where the Beneamata explained the project. The interest is strong and it is reciprocated.

current STATS OF SÉBASTIEN HALLER

11 goals in 8 champions league matches is not bad, however you have to consider it was against Sporting, Dortmund, Besiktas and then Benfica.

Oh ffs only because he scored many goals in the CL. He isn't a player who could replace Dzeko. He's big and tall but that doesn't mean he is some kind of targetman.
I`ll trust your judgement then. I mean back in 2019 West Ham payed club record €50M to sign him and he had a disappointing spell. Then Ajax signed him for €22.5M in 2021.
Not just today. Gazzetta have reported lots of bs rumors lately. I mean a lot more than usual.
Which makes me think these are manouvers to lower the asking price of Scamacca - the club`s real target.

However there have been links to him in the past - GdS in 2019:
When Haller was at Utrecht, in the Netherlands, his 51 goals in 98 appearances had attracted attention from across Europe and Italian clubs including Inter had also followed him. The Frenchman has great skills as a passer and knows how to open spaces for his teammates.

This was my opinion on Haller when someone suggested him.

Haller is just a system player. He has looked great at Eintracht and Ajax who have a well functioning system but he looked shit at West Ham where his limitations were exposed. I don't think he's good enough for a top club.

#facts.

The fact he scores ton of goals in the Eredivisie doesn't mean anything. As striker at Ajax you get chances every game. And even with Ajax there are games where he just doesn't perform well but just scores a goal because we create so much chances. Just look at all the top scorers which made a move to abroad. If they scored more than 10 goals it's much. For Ajax he is a good striker (although I prefer Brobbey but that's another discussion) but for a club as Inter he isn't even good enough as a sub.

So true. With all due respect to your league i can't take it seriously when freaking Giakoumakis looked like a goal machine there. :lol:

Malen, Luuk de Jong, Dirk Kuyt, Vincent Janssen, Afonso Alves, Altidore and so many others who have only looked good in Netherlands. Eredivisie is heaven of forwards.

The list is indeed so long: Nicolai Jorgensen, Wilfried Bony, Alfred Finnbogason, Bas Dost and my favorite: Bjorn f*ckin Vleminckx. For me the one that amazed me the most was Mateja Kezman. He scored more than 120 goals in 3 seasons. ( even 35 goals in 33 matches I believe). He was amazing in Holland not just scoring taps-in but amazing goals. He went to Chelsea and scored 4 goals and after that he went to Atletico and scored 8 goals...

Apparently Haaland still has a 75m clause. Valid until the end of April. If only we had people who wanted the good of this club at the helm...

His release clause never was the problem. That's the easy part. Problem is Raiola is asking for 25m net! Even if you had a sugar daddy as an owner that's insane money.

Well given his stats, age and attributes, it makes more sense to me than signing Cristiano Ronaldo for 117M and paying him above 30M/year!

Make a deal with Raiola where his wage is increasing each year + insane release clause. There will be enough clubs knocking at his door before even reaching 25M/year.

The sky is the limit for Håland, he could be sold on for a profit any time. Until then, he would guarantee trophies. This is the kind of footballer that I would take a loan for.

Aaaaaah it felt good. Now let`s throw some Pinamontis at Sassuolo.

You can't sell for profit any player at 25m salary net, as he will want more at his new club. And they will have less funding for the transfer fee. Has it ever happened in history?

Even Messi was available at 30m net and no one paid a dime to Barca for a reason.

From a few pundit options on different news channels. They could be wrong only time will tell.

Regarding Inter in the end beppe will find a deal for scamacca.
