He's free in the summer, which is one of the two characteristics we look for in new signings.
He wasn't free in this summer and people still wanted him like he is the prime Falcao, despite Porto asking 30m for him.

Nobody wants Taremi for 30m. Milan almost got him for half had they not been stingy with salary.

Should not be more than that this winter or free next summer. In either cases no brainer.

Yeah I wouldn't say "people wanted him" if there was 1-2 members here who wanted him this summer for 30m (I don't even know if there were any).

I think at one point we offered 23mln for him including the bonuses, but Porto refused. Most probably because they thought, the bidding war could have been started. Not happened.

Zhang will sell him as soon as there is a profit. Maybe even today if the transfer market was still open..

No he needs to keep his most expensive assets and keep us competitive. We need to be in champions next season to be attractive to sponsors/buyers/new players

Even spending to make it happen if the right players are available is likely.

Unless he shows his quality at national team as target man, it’s a hard sell because not many top teams playing 2 strikers like us and he’s in the wing not that amazing.

I want us to make a move for Retegui this winter
I didn't watch too much of him, but from what I've seen he reminds me of Icardi. A forward who barely touches the ball,. mainly when he shoots.
I'm not sure do we need such a player.

I think he has a bigger role now but id take Raspadori

I just think Retegui is a better option than lets say Arnautovic, tbh i think he has a really bright future

Sticking with Italians, id bring in Scamacca, Vignato, Baldanzi, Sottil, Cancellieri, Zaniolo and maybe Berardi

Really depends now whether he wants to sell the club or not, if his attention is to sell Inter, selling the bigger assets is counter productive.

If he intends to keep the club that’s a different story, however I have some difficulty in seeing how he can raise the necessary fonds to avoid handing it over too Oaktree, so selling seem the more rational decision.

He’s pretty deadly inside the box from what I’ve seen. If you need goals, there’s a lot worse players than Retegui.

Regardless, the ship has sailed. He’s started well for Genoa and they won’t be selling in January.

Won't compare him with Icardi, more Immobile or Benzema with more agility and weaker on hold up, strength and vision respectively, but he does drop back and try to be to passing target or flick forward for others to run, but not a high successful rate; a bigger active area and heat map than Icardi I can imagine, but less lethal in the box, also not exactly a playmaker striker, for sure a shoot first type if opportunities occur.
A very good choice if we want someone that can rotate both LM and Thuram and can play 90 mins; won't consider him an impact sub though.

This move makes sense to me. We should have gotten him instead of Arnautovic in the first place but Porto overplayed their hand. Then they folded in the last days of the mercato but Milan was cheap on the salary offer for Taremi.

I don’t really see a better realistic option in the market that can potentially make an impact immediately.

Depends on the price though. Anything more than 10m does not worth it.

Taremi and his camp made unrealistic demands at the last minute with Milan. The deal was done and they wanted higher agent fees which was denied. I'd pass on him.

How much was that unrealistic though? As far as I know, Milan was on fault. They could not offer higher than 1.2m lol.
