2021/2022 Forwards Rumours Thread

What do you guys think how much money we could get with just swap Depay + cash for Lautaro?

I think Depay would offer more to us than Lautaro currently can and we could also get other reinforcements like Bremer and Frattesi with that money?

Depay can beat his man on one/one, good freekicks and penalties and is pretty good front of the goal too..

I’m intrigued!

Could be an interesting deal, depay in my books is overrated, but given his characteristics he may end up good in a league like seria a. But don't think that will happen, we are too desperate for pure cash to do a swap deal like that.

 

[pazza moratti]

Yeah sounds like pure bs story anyway!

I also believe that Depay could work good for Inter, and if the offer is between 50-60mln + Depay, I'd take it. Then go for loan for Jovic and skip expensive options as Dybala and Scammacca.

 

[morrisama]

what about Arnautovic ?? he might be a good choice for a rotation player. he's been having good season so far.

 

[dragondance]

Dybala is not a bad idea as it may sound. The biggest concern is his fitness, otherwise he’s still a top class player. The goals number doesn’t always tell the whole story. When I check whoscored his performances are still highly rated, except last year when their whole team underperformed. It means even if he doesn’t score too many goals his contribution to the team is very good. And he played much better as a center forward, 7 goals in 15 games this season as center forward with 7.64 rating score.

I imagine he would fit well in Inzaghi possession football.

 

[brehme1989]

There are few former Juventus players I despise more than Pjanic. Seeing him in our shirt, while a shell of his former self, would disgust me.

Fabrizio Biasin: "Marotta wants Dybala to pair with Lautaro, Bremer chose Inter, so it will be if..."
Famous journalist Fabrizio Biasin on hot names for the Nerazzurri with the summer in mind: "Dybala has more chances than Lukaku. If we have to sell Lautaro to get Dybala, no. If Inter keep Lautaro and find the resources through other sales, then we can think about it. For now, there is no certainty.
Bremer and Inter - there is an agreement. At the extension Cairo (prez Toro) promised he would let him go for 25mln or a little more. If everyone keeps their word, the Brazilian will become an Inter player. But in the world of soccer, not everyone keeps their word. Bremer, on the other hand, did what very few people do - he extended his contract so as not to leave for free. At the moment it is known that he accepted Inter's offer of about 3.5mn per season.
First of all Inter should give up Vidal and Sanchez, but this is not related entirely to Dybala - the salary fund should drop by 10-15%."

Romelu Lukaku - annual gross 20.406.513 EUR
Paulo Dybala - annual gross 13.520.000 EUR
Memphis Depay - annual gross 10,420,000 EUR
Luka Jovic - annual gross 9,380,000 EUR
Andrea Belotti - annual gross 3,700,000 EUR
Gianluca Scamacca - annual gross 1,480,000 EUR


Lautaro Martínez - annual gross 11,110,000 EUR
Edin Dzeko - annual gross 9,260,000 EUR
Alexis Sánchez - annual gross 8,970,000 EUR
Joaquín Correa - annual gross 6,480,000 EUR
Andrea Pinamonti - annual gross 1,850,000 EUR

To replace Sanchez and Lautaro and not lose quality in my point of view it's free Dybala and swap Pinamonti+20million for Scamacca, and the return of Satriano.

Jovic is also an expensive option, pair of Depay-Belotti even worse than Lautaro-Sanchez.

imo Satriano needs more senior caps i think........ maybe 1 or 2 seasons constant starting XI outside Inter like Stade Brest could improve his career.

Dzeko- Scamacca/zapata/Beto blablabla- Dybala/Depay/Lolitoro blablabla- Correa- Pinamonti/Satriano/Mulattieri/Esposito/Salcedo blablabla maybe a good combination to considerate...

 

[Universe]

RE Pjanic, there's not too much to discuss considering the rumour is complete garbage. But I'll just say this because it applies beyond Pjanic himself: all reports indicate this will be another cheap as fuck mercato and we all know Suning's catastrophic financial situation. We have precious little money to spend and the idea of spending our meagre funds on washed up big name players disgusts me. No more fucking Vidals, Sanchez's or Kolarov's. I don't want to hear shit about fucking Lacazette or Matic let alone Pjanic.

Thanks for the post!

In Lukaku and Jovic case they would have to take a pay cut ~40-50% and only loan with option to buy. Also Jovic price would be around ~€18-20m after loan to make any sense. But Lukaku case I can’t see that happen and his ship has sailed, simply too expensive wage + fee.

Scamacca wage would also be closer to what Belotti earns if he would come to Inter and Sassuolo is waiting a payday ~€40-45m. So not that cheap.

Barca want to sell Depay and I don’t think they are after Lautaro, seems like bs news. But I would be interested to Depay in case if we sell Lautaro. I don’t know what kind of fee Barca want from him? His contract runs out next summer so maybe ~€20-25m?

Dybala is big risk, but can be useful. I’m just nervy of all those injuries!

Belotti can stay at Torino or go to Fiorentina.

I think best options in that list would be Depay, Dybala, Jovic risk/reward. Then Scamacca.

We also need to see what happens to Dzeko and Correa next summer?

But what seems to be certain is that we have to sell Lautaro and release Sanchez.

 

[rfU]

Depay is fools gold. All flash til it really counts.

 

[wera]

Yeah I was just about to write how this mercato will be cheap as fuck and that to me, if Milan becomes as rich as Manchester City, getting rid of players with high wages (especially bench players) and replacing them with younger players is the only way, example Vecino goes, Agoume comes in his stead..

Our club will keep on losing money and another season with covid looming around is sure to happen again

 

[DARi0]

Exactly. Stay away from Depay, he lacks efficiency and end product. I`m sure he would not make in Italy. Luckily he was not even linked to us by Italian reliable sources, so not sure why we have to even bother discussing him.

So far it seems that Dybala and Scamacca are the targets to upgrade on Sanchez and Caicedo. Marotta might aim to have a luxurious forward department eventually, like in the old days! We would be properly equipped in the forward department to fight in all 3 competitions.

In case Lautaro accepts another club`s offer, we might just take Jovic (on loan) until Raspadori is ready.

André Onana (Samir Handanovic)
Milan Skriniar(Danilo D'Ambrosio) Bremer(Zinho Vanheusden) Alessandro Bastoni(Federico Dimarco)
Matteo Darmian(Denzel Dumfries) Ivan Perisic(Robin Gosens)
Nicolò Barella(Lucien Agoumé) Marcelo Brozovic(Florian Grillitsch)
Hakan Calhanoglu(Stefano Sensi)
Gianluca Scamacca(Edin Džeko) Paulo Dybala(Joaquín Correa)

This team could cost us about 20 million euros of the transfer budget and a generally reduced wage, and at the same time it may well fight for the third championship in a row.

 

[Capo]

It's not about who is better than Lukaku in our current squad, it's about making smart business and not panic buying. Spending a big amount for the current Lukaku is not smart business. We don't have the same coach, same gameplan or even the same version of Lukaku who flourished under Conte anymore.

And it's not about who is better or a bigger name than Lukaku among the rumored names either. With the state of our forwards this season we are still the highest scoring team in the league. Forwards are not just there to score goals. Goals can be scored by several players in the team, not just forwards. Forwards need to score goals AND function properly in the team. If we find the right players without spending big we can improve the team and our forward line. That's up to the management to find those players and not just linger on certain names who are overpriced and not exactly convincing, like Scamacca.

We need several additions to the team and we don't have enough money to spend heavy. So it's need to be done as loan and free deals, or low cost options. If Lautaro gets sold and Sanchez leaves, Dybala as a free deal and Jovic as a loan deal should be enough to replace them.

I'll take back Satriano as the 5th forward as well and spend what we have on Bremer, 3 new midfielders and a back up for the defence line.

Objectively, what is smart business? I just think Big Rom can provide an option worth looking at, and if that could be explored and the numbers work then why not?

Lukaku and Chelsea clearly are not working, if we can leverage this position and have Lukaku return to form wouldnt that be a great outcome. The guy can score, and to be fair in parts this season Dzeko/Lautaro was wasteful. I am not saying Lukaku is the be all, end all scenario but I definitely think it should be explored.

 

[El Matador]

We should try and get Werner or Rashford.. out of favor but has the pace and potential to turn their careers around.

My favorite thing to do would be to steal Leao from Milan if thats even possible.

If we sell Lautaro and somehow we have cash to spend on a striker, lets go for Nunez Isak, or Osimhen.

Smart business is not spending all your money on a player who's coming from a terrible season, has a huge salary and has no resale value.

We need several new additions to the squad and we are in no position to spend +30m on every player, so we need to be smart about how we're gonna spend the little money we have.
