It's all out fault. We have had a chance to close already the deal and this injury would have never happened but Marotta decided to wait for a last moment. If I'm Lotito, I'd put 50mln price on Correa, only for Inter. Our mngmt better start exploring who is available on load cuz we're running out of time.

It could be worse, he could injured himself like that against Genoa today..

It is kind of obvious that Thuram was always the backup plan or tactic, but the main target is Correa. Else I don't see how Thuram would be have played last night. Now that he is out, we have one target itself. And it's up to Marotta to negotiate with that lunatic Lotito.

Well you could argue that Gladbach wanted to show us that he is too important for them and that is why he still started. If that is the case then it went out horribly for them. Now they are going to miss a 30 million opportunity and now they still don't have the money for the reneweal of Ginter's contract. Tbh if the deal fails, I would take revenge by taking Matthias Ginter for free next season.

I see your point @rockball, but imho Correa is too similar to Lautaro. Thuram would have been awesome to battle it against Dzeko, but apparently now with his injury it will all fell apart.

Very sad to see because I was really looking forward to getting Thuram 🤌

Correa is not similar to Lautaro in any way. Just because Lautaro is not big physically, most don't consider him to be the no. 9 or take him to be a SS. While he can play that role with Dzeko or someone as a partner, Lautaro is more of the main striker himself.

Exactly, he’s been the main striker everywhere but here. Both club and country.

Yeah, I don't know if the forum really fully understands Martinez as a player. At least a few times a year someone will mock up a formation where he's playing as a winger. In an age where teams are asking Gabriel Jesus and Bobby Firmimo to lead their lines, Martinez is a pure number nine.

Keita Balde is much cheaper than Correa. he would be a decent back up

Gladback tried to play it smart by playing Thuram and trying to force Inter to improve the offer but it totally backfired for them.

He would fail his medical though.
Players pass medicals all the time with known injuries. Medicals exist to catch injuries that people weren't previously aware of.
