I wouldn't mind letting him go if we could bring a quality cb. He has been a defensive liability this season and his main contribution is his goals from set-pieces. But we have no money to spend and there's no great opportunity in free agency. So i would rather keep him for one more season.

if he leaves it wont surpirse me if Caceres comes, as he already knows Conte's system and is free.

Will miss the back post headers. He's at an age where he has a few good years left, which can be as a starter for a midtable club.

If we were playing a 4-man defence, then I won't mind him as a backup for LB or RB. But in our current formation, he is useless. Nowhere close to being good enough as a WB, and not as a CB as well.

I was against his transfer but he grew on me. Great off the bench option doesn’t make crazy money or bitch. Wouldn’t mind renewing in lower wages but dude wants more money so can fk off

Inter activated D'Ambrosio option to extend his contract for one more season.

On one hand, if we're this financially hamstrung it makes sense to keep as many of our players as possible, even the D'Ambrosio's and Gagliardini's of the squad.

That said, he earns €2m per season. I'm not thrilled with extending him at the same wages considering last season was easily his worst in an Inter jersey which says a lot because he's always been a mediocre player. He scored handful of nice goals but in defense he was abysmal. He's also been made completely redundant by Darmian.

This. To me it doesn't make sense to keep him. He can't backup Skriniar anymore, he just can't. The quality drop is just too big.

Like I've ranted in this thread, he has a very specific role he can fill (or two roles). Filler in the final minutes of games, if we take out let's say exhausted wingback or midfielder. He comes in to be just extra body in our box. Or when we are chasing and piling pressure on opponent's box, he can be brought in to do those excellently timed runs to score goals / create havoc.

All that is nice, but these situations are pretty rare in the end and do we want one guy to take roster spot to only fill these roles? I repeat, D'Ambrosio cannot back up Skriniar, let alone rotate with him.

I’m looking forward to his return as an attacking player again after Hakimi’s imminent departure. Grande

Keep DDA, sell Hakimi. Very Inter-esque!

Apparently, we are negotiating with Roma for a direct swap: D'Ambrosio for Florenzi.

Would be funny as D'Ambrosio is becoming a free agent in a month. So I doubt it will happen like that, would be funny if it did.

We have activated the option so he's expiring next season.

Florenzi for D’Ambrosio yes, for Hakimi no.

It's not official. Though maybe they don't even release such information. Specially if the intention is to not actually keep the player but flip him for money/another player.

I've always liked Florenzi. Just not sure of his injury record recently. How's that been?

If we get Florenzi for DAmbro and sell Hakimi for 80m minimum, then buy some proper LWB thats not bad at all.

Florenzi has 4m net salary which sounds quite insane.
