Beppe Marotta

[brehme1989]

If we exclude the easy ones (Ranocchia, D'Ambrosio, Kolarov) i can only remember Skriniar and Bastoni. I think Skriniar was around the end of 2018/19 season and Bastoni was this summer. Though to be fair with him he also had verbal agreements for the extensions of De Vrij and Lautaro which didn't materialise for different reasons.

He had a verbal agreement with Icardi as well

Bastoni was still in his "junior" contract so that's a no brainer.

There was also Candreva who we extended only to offload a bit after iirc. Was it January of 2020?

D'Ambrosio was a clause trigger, not an agreement to extend the deal. There was a verbal agreement with him since Marotta first arrived that never materialized.

Skriniar was also something that was in the works before Marotta came and thankfully he still stayed despite multiple attempts to ship him away!


Honestly, I'm drawing blanks here. There's just Ranocchia, Candreva and Handanovic that come to mind despite numerous negotiations with agents and players to extend their deals. Skriniar sacked his agent under Marotta's tenure, probably because they were discussing an exit.

Then we have talks with Icardi, Martinez, Brozovic, De Vrij, Asamoah, including D'Ambrosio, that led to nowhere! The three current players will probably leave sometime soon, on a discount(!) and they're all starters.

Rushing to sell Hakimi also doesn't help the case here...

Brozovic and Lautaro extensions are the most crucial ones. Barella is not because he's going to sign anyway.

Brozo the obvious one with free agency looming. Lautaro can force an exit next summer for a too low price if there's no extension this smmer.

Then the next one is obviously De Vrij. I feel he's not forcing any moves, have a feeling he wants to stay, he's comfortable at Inter, but his agent is Raiola. He's gonna use all the tricks if we are at 2022 summer and there hasn't been extension signed.

There's also Skriniar whose contract expires in 2023. If the management want to keep him, they need to start discussions with him too. Though i don't think it would be a huge problem with him. He loves playing for Inter and he wants to stay. He would probably agree to an extension with a small increase.

Marotta will leave if they sell Lukaku. Ok, now we are fucked.

 

[Ethor]

Yeah, when the big boys start bailing out the time is nigh.

 

[Bluenine]

I trust Marotta with the Lukaku money. I don't trust Zhang. Fuck Suning.

 

[bubba zanetti]

Like I said,as long as Marotta is here we will be competent,he will find a way.If he leaves,with all this financial collapse we are doomed.

I'm a competent swimmer, but if you tie a 50kg weight to my leg, I'd sink immediately. Even Michael Phelps would.

 

[kurt0411]

Yep the beginning of the end is firmly upon us. He will depart I’m sure at the end and nobody can even blame him remotely. You do not sell your best player 2 weeks before the season begins

 

[cuba gooding]

I am waiting for his statement to media. Its not like he is gonna tell all the truth, but at least we may gauge his reaction with all of this shitty situations.

 

[M.Adnan]

I suspect that it has more to do with how much money to he's allowed to use from Lukaku's sale than Lukaku's sale itself.

Agree. Marotta is a finance guy and smart one at that. He was also in charge when Juve sold Pogba for world record. The 130 mio is a really big amount for 28 years old, no matter how much we love him. Especially in this covid era. But if marotta dont keen on this deal, probably because he know we would only get small portion of the sale to find replacement. That is a disaster for him as a Sporting Director or CEO or whatever his position is

That is it I think...

 

[Candreva Crosses]

Someone got his e-mail? I found a nice video for him

 

[Ethor]

When is his contract up? Sunning better lock him down if they are staying. Should do the same if they are selling, cause the nice batch of owners will not know a thing either, guaranteed.

 

[Jane The Virgin]

Marotta is pulling some "Moneyball" moves here. He literally went and bought the "stats" we sold

 

[Kenny]

Given the circumstances, he is doing an excellent job.
Hopefully, we will have open stadiums, to let that sweet ticket money in + hopefully we'll get past group stage in CL to let that sweet uefa money in.

Nah, he's doing an easy job.

He was supposed to have sleepless nights trying offload Mario, 9G, etc..., or finding a solution to Nandez and all that while keeping our book under control.

Instead, selling Hakimi and Lukaku gave him an easy way out. He could terminate 9G without a blink and scrap that improvised complicated Nandez deal altogether. Maybe he did well to sell Lukaku for 115m, but it's hard to say how much of it was due to his negotiation skills and how much was Chelsea being Chelsea.

That being said, Marotta's work must not be judged right after it's done. He's never a great scout or salesman to be judged this way. Instead, he always manages to demonstrate his ability to build a cohesive, balanced squad with strong attention to finances (covid excused). It's not coincident that juve's squad keeps getting more and more imbalanced after he left, too many good players competing for a same space while other areas were neglected. Or Ausillio always managed to find some gems, yet our team never manage to strike a balance until he came.

So maybe give it a year, we will see if he's indeed done a good job. Hopefully, the loss in individual qualities will be offset by having better synergy between the players, especially when Inzaghi never puts extreme emphasis on counter attack with long balls and speed.

Just to add to what you're saying, for all his merits (and I am a big supporter of Marotta and I personally feel he has done a very good job), but he has a track record throughout his career of offloading players for far below their market value. At Juventus he offloaded Melo, Tiago, Toni, Immobile, Gabbiadini, Quagliarella, Giovinco, Tevez, and Berardi for a total of roughly 45 million (according to transfermarkt).
