Despite Inzaghi’s words, the sale of Marko Arnautović would be appreciated by everyone at the club. Him leaving would mean being able to sign a “better performing” fourth striker.

#Inter will shop the Austrian around Europe but also Saudi Arabia- asking price of €5M.

I like Arna, but if he leaves for 7 mil (worst case scenario for 5) it will be ok.

Nobody is paying 5m for a 35yo flop with 1 year contract. People aren't taking him even for free, coz of the 3m salary.

Imagine the mind-blowing amount just a year earlier.

Saudies may pay 5 mil.

But I would rather him to stay if he is fully recovered from his injuries.

No they don't. Saudi Arabia spent crazy for the WC hosting slot. And they have already sealed WC2034 last November.

Even if they do, they are aiming for big profiles for the marketing. Not grandpa-ish flop.

Maybe. But he did score a few goals and assists when he was healthy.

Real Madrid signed that Joselu guy in a loan deal with option to buy for 1.5mil

And here some people said Arnautovic transfer was decent, and there is no better alternative :palm:
these flops helps us in the pazza inter mentality.
i will say we need him since he brought the treble and the second star, iam certain the team will achieve the 21 title + 10th cup.

Fans usually have limited scope of watching mostly Serie A games, plus some big clashes from other leagues. Then might know players from their locals, that's it.

So it is understandable that in those limited views no one is better than Arnautovic. But Inter should have much better database and should have done much better.

No non-locals fans knew the Partizan's Vlahovic, Sturm Graz's Hojlund, Racing's Lautaro, Lille's Osimhen or Sporting's Leao instance, until the respective clubs got them. Many didnt know Thuram coz he "only" played for Gladbach.

Such big-fish-small-pond market is what we should aim for. But must be cautious to know which fish is really the "big". The responsibility of ones who get paid millions to do their job.

Ohhh, you'd be surprised how many FIF memebers follow almost every game and player in Europe and know better than professional scouts.

Arna is 35??? For fucks sake in the back of my mind I convinced myself he was like 32/33. Offload immediately if anyone offers 5mil.

No club is going to offer 5 million for him. We should not have offered him a two year contract. A one year contract with an option for a second year based on his performances would have been more prudent.

What I really dislike with Inter is the feeling of having old Christmas cake players that are one or two seasons past their use by date. In that category, we also have Alexis but he has proven to be more useful than Arnautovic.

Personally, and I know that views differ on this, but it is a blight on our scouting that the club always looks at and prefers old Christmas cake rather than opting for a younger player. And the worst part about that is having a player on the books whose contribution in their last season will be negligible. It is a waste of a place in the squad and simultaneously delays the development and progress of the squad.

Isn't it a 1 year loan and a 1 year contract after his move was made permanent?

I prefer Arnautivic instead of Correa as a 4th option.
