Those Saudi Arabian clubs are now taking the experienced players we traditionally sign. That's our market.

Maybe it will force Inter's management to consider younger players that won't cost a fortune and have a re-sell value, now that we have to generate funds from sales to sign new players.
We'll just offer more money to worse over-the-hill players.

We should be careful though. Young players cost a lot more and when he flops, gonna damage us much more. Think Correa..he consumed all of our budget.

"Cheap", "good" and "young" usually don't come together. Even (hindsight) success like Kvara and Osimhen costs >20m. Which we don't have.

The only cheap resource is, well, our own academy. But we sold the best of them for plusvalenza lol.

Correa wasn't young. He was 27 when we signed him.

Also Kvara cost 11m.

Your definion of young seems bizarre. 27 is not, young is what..23?

Same fate with Asllani, knowing Inzaghi well enough lol. Even more wasteful.

Bizarre? That's the norm in most footballing nations. Only in Italy 27 can be considered young. Young is max 24. After that point, in most cases player is entering his prime footballing years (25-29).

Explains, in part, why they're cutting back on oil production. Cheeky beggars.

LOL kind of glad he did not go to saudi... But apparently the MLS deal is just as god money wise apparently both adidas and Apple chipping in heavily to make the deal happen...
Apple and mls going as far as to give messi part of the revenue from the MLS streaming...

While it is huge for the MLS i still dont think it will help em much it will generate eyeballs but the product will still be sub par when compared to european leagues even outside the top5

Also can we now stop with this messi loves barca so much narrative and would have signed for less? To mee it looks a lot like he signed with the highest bidder... Maybe not in terms of guaranteed money but if those apple rumors are true he sure has a lot more upside in his MLS deal than he would have gotten from the saudis

Good for the Saudis man. They finally realized it's better to build up and develop their own league rather than buy and throw money at European nobodies
