Lautaro Martinez

[PHM1605]

Well you brought up Bundesliga which in my opinion isn't relevant at all. We are talking about market price in Serie A so why bring up Bundesliga?

When you negotiate, you start high, just how Inter is starting low as well, pretty sure we'll reach an agreement before the end of the season, just like Marotta said.

It is. Market shouldnt be restricted in Serie A. We can buy players from other leagues as well, so market scouting is necessary when one's demand is exceeding the capacity of the team.

Bundesliga is more or less the same level as Serie A, so should be proven enough.

The origin of the discussion is from the post whether we should extend at 10m+. Scroll some posts back and you'd see. Imo not. 9m bonus including should be the take or leave limit.

Vlahovic is way overpaid, Osimhen is purported going to some big money club elsewhere and the less said about Lukaku the better. In Lautaro's defense he is better than Vlahovic and worth more than Lukaku, jury still out on Osimhen imo.

Do we want to be the team that pays top dollar for the top players in the world or do we want to be some pretender that sells whomever asks for their dues and then crucify them as mercenaries?

I offer you an alternative where we refuse to sell whomever asks for their dues and then crucify them as mercenaries when they leave on a free transfer.

But that's the... Milan way

 

[CafeCordoba]

Get real people. Of course we're going to sign Lautaro, it's a negotiation.

If we sold him, we wouldn't be able to sign a better replacement, considering what he means to the team, not just being a striker scoring goals.

 

[Sawyer]

Captain Toro just sign the dotted lines, its all in place, we love you.

 

[wera]

But that's the... Milan way

Yeah, Milan Skriniar

 

[CafeCordoba]

Nothing is going to be signed before the ownership situation is settled and the date for that is closing. Of course, anything can happen regarding that, but assumption is this will be settled in the summer at the latest (Inzaghi first, Barella then, then Lautaro).

 

[Il Drago]

Bundesliga is a bad example as a reference point. In general German clubs have low wage bills and that's how they manage to stay profitable. Only Bayern could outbid Serie A clubs in terms of salaries. Even Dortmund would struggle to compete with an Italian top club.

Despite Serie A being poor Italian clubs still spend a lot of money on salaries. And that's how they manage to keep Italian top players at home and even some second rate talents from abroad.

Also you can't compare Lautaro with Guirassy. Guirassy is having his first prolific season and Stuttgart were involved in a relagation battle till last season. Different worlds.

 

[Damageplan]

Would I pay 10 mil/season for Lautaro ? Yea.
Would I try to lower that amount because its a fuckton of cash and I'm a professional club that needs to keep wages in check because no clown pockets ? Yea.

 

[wera]

Finally scored again. Thank fucking god

 

[rfU]

Lautaro is worth 9mil/ season in this football economy.

Fuck that. 8M + penalty bonus @ 100k per penalty scored.

 

[YoramG]

Fuck that. 8M + penalty bonus @ 100k per penalty scored.

There is no universe where I want Lautaro to be incentivised to take MORE penalties

 

[YoramG]

Guarro says his requests are more than 10m

Let’s not take the piss, he’s just been on a 3 month dry steak

 

[BasedGodPunk]

I like him but he is nowhere near good enough for that. Let Arsenal or Atleti pay that to watch him not score for months.

 

[Ethor]

Holy smokes! the visceral dislike for Lautaro, because he wants to be paid. We all know he is streaky and hopeless on penalty kicks, but c'mon he was there for Inter during the majority of the season. Let's say he does leave then who would replace him with no drop off in form? Certainly not, Arnautovic, Correa, or any of the aforementioned purported incoming or rumored strikers. Hopefully both parties come to an agreement soon.

 

[Tsuna]

Im sure people don't dislike him. But the fact you're asking 10 mil a year and go missing 3 months a year and the unability to score penalties is quiet alarming. If he's asking ffor that much on down to sell him and getting Bento + CB + a ST. No clue how good roque is, but maybe we can lowball barca if that dude is really a gem

Show me a recent example of us selling a player and actually reinvesting the majority of the proceeds into our squad. It hasn't happened with Hakimi, Lukaku, Onana, and it wouldn't happen with Lautaro.

Hakimi -> dumfries
Lakaka -> Thuram
Onana -> Sommer, we were going to sign Spurs GK if Man Utd wasn't playing with us the whole time

and where do you think that money came from to buy Frattessi and Pavard?
