The scammacas , pinamontis , raspadoris of this world , scoring 10 goals here and there should never deserve such chance unless it comes for 15M max fees.
The world has changed, what used to be 15M, is now 30/40M...
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.
We have differing views of smart business. There seems to be rhetoric, rightly or wrongly Inter need elite talent and the club history expects this as a minimum. Yet, we are linked to talent that has potential who have exploded in the last 3 months and being held to ransom.
Lukaku is a talent, he has shown it before and I still think he can be serviceable. This all hypothetical but there will be a moment where Inter's management must ask themselves why buy Scammaca for 40M when you can buy Lukaku for X, Y or Z? I am not sure what is realistic but Lukaku is clearly on the way out of Chelsea, he wants a return to Inter and if Lukaku & Don Beppe can strong arm Chelsea into a deal that is +/- 10% of the transfer fee of Scammaca, anyone in there right mind would have to consider this.
We dont have alot of options because of our finances. And mostly likely Lautaro will be sacrificed to buy (70M), Sanchez will be let go and we're left with Dzeko and Correra. So far we're linked with the following players; Scammaca (40m), Thuram (20ishM), Dybala (free - 7M net in wages), Lukaku (???) and Nunez (70M).
My preference with Lautaro sacrificed is 1. Dybala (7M net wages), 2. Lukaku (Transfer < 50M 7m net wages) 3. Scammaca (<25M or walk away) as for the others, I havent seen Thuram not sure if he will add anything and Nunez GAGF'd for 70M
*Note: Jovic is another option, and he would be the same as Lukaku, if the financial parameters make sense. However his transfer would need to work with how we plan to lineup with or without Dybala/Lautaro
