10 years of FIFBiasin says club management and the coach likes Hermoso but Oaktree doesn't. Marotta tries to negotiate this with Oaktree so that when De Vrij leaves (this/next summer?), younger player will replace him. Would make sense but honestly I would replace Acerbi next summer and use the option to extend with De Vrij.

does Oaktree know Ricardo Rodriguez is 32????
and btw, i am not even a hater here, as Rodriguez would do just fine, as a bench player, but whats the big big plan here? Do we want young players, or not? Or is it just, get the cheapest possible players.

10 years of FIFWell I don't think we have money for better than Hermoso. Since Hermoso costs like 9M gross per season for the club. Consider buying someone, BETTER than Hermoso, and we're talking about minimum of 15M gross cost (salary + amortized fee).
Maybe loaning someone, but that's hard to achieve (to be able to even target a player the owning club would be willing to loan and the player to come to Inter on loan).
If there is a chance to take Kiwior, it needs to try to do it. He’s a young player and has a potential, especially if arsenal is ready to give him away

I am rather getting more disappointing at Oaktree, I am still trying to not judge too soon, but from this is going, it seems more like they want to treat us like a player investing firm without realizing that it is much more complicated than buy low sell high for players, as the attracting factors for young players has to do with the team's achievement, players that can play with, the status of the team etc.; on the development, which is directly tie to the "resale value" later has a lot to do with how stabilized and how well the team is, which is evidently when you have a ongoing system it let the young players to settle in easier.
Crazy if they start to adopt the Old Arsenal or Milan model, it will fail hard, especially these days.

10 years of FIFOaktree: What did I just tell you about not going for the old players?
Inter management: Sorry, been doing this for a long time. Can't help it. Old habits die hard.

Di Marzio reported Ricardo Rodriguez, Pedulla reported Kiwior. Let see who is right, and what happen next?

10 years of FIFWhy both can't be right? It's not like Inter is signing every player it's linked to.
It's preparation phase now for Inter. We're looking around, enquiring clubs and players.
