Mercato Team (Ausilio, Marotta, & Co.) and Strategies

[CafeCordoba]

Steven pulls a (financial) rabbit out of a hat and signs SMS to boost the beginning of a cycle. Yes please.

But seriously, extremely hard to see this type of deals happening. De Paul IMO is possible in a Chiesa/Tonali deal type of way. But Lotito/Lazio or other that level (or higher) of clubs ain't gonna accept such conditions.

Scudetto and CL quali prize money are reportedly ~60mil, plus finally additional 25mil transfer fee for Politano from Napoli.
We should be able to sign at least one top player.

That 60m€ is not an addition to this season's revenues. We got little short of 40m€ from this season's CL. Also Scudetto money is something, but we were 2nd last season so winning Scudetto isn't an enormous addition regarding prize money. Only bonuses from the sponsorship deals might be %-wise biggest additions but then again, in absolute numbers probably not enormously big deal.

Messagero linking us to sms again, calling it a scudetto gift for conte.

Apparently marotta already in contact with his agent. I mean based on rumors over the years he is in contact with him for five years at least.

We were about to sign SMS but instead we were fixated on Lukaku. There was already an agreement in place between us and the player. I'm pretty sure he's willing to join us now as well.

 

[Bluenine]

Yes, Marotta has been in love with SMS for a while. On an unrelated note, Inzaghi mentioned once that he considers Gagliardini as a good replacement in case SMS is sold.

Thank God we went for Lukaku.

I just noticed SMS is only 26 for whatever reason I thought he was 29 by now

If we get him, everyone can kiss our ass for the next 5+ years in Italy.

If Inter buy SMS and Gosens this summer, I promise to buy all the 3 shirts for next season from Inter store. Yes, including the one which looks like something you clean the car with.

Spare that one and just get your car to car wash.

Don't forget that we might owe bonus contingent to getting trophy when we acquired some of our players. Given our situation two or three years ago, I bet Marotta/Ausilio were willing to give big add ons in transfer contingent to Scudetto because it was seems unreachable at the time.

Marotta/Conte wouldnt even be here if they thought it was unreachable.

Fuck SMS tbh, for that money Lotito wants for him. If he was about 30-40 yeah, he is good player, but too inconsistent to be worth more than that. Fucker is bossing 2 games to be crap in the next 3 and that's going on for 2 years now, since he was voted best Serie A midfielder back in 2019.

Just needs a change in scenery. Eventually he'll fall to mediocrity, but there's still a lot of time to prevent that.

I thought of that, but then again, when someone shows inconsistency in weaker teams with less pressure, you don't pay 80 mils for him. Not even in this world. 40 is cool price but Lotito will never sell him for that. He won't sell not even for 50.

Obviously, I'd allow a 50-55m bid in this environment at best. Could inflate it if they absorb Gagliardini and Joao Mario

 

[rockball]

Anything above 40 is a joke. Maybe at max, something like 30+Gags.

Milan wouldn't do that for freaking Calhanoglu, why would Lazio do it for the best midfielder of the league?

 

[Bluenine]

I don't see Lazio selling him for anything less than 60m. It won't make sense for Lazio below that. SMS is only 26 and has been playing at Barella 2020-21 level or better for 4-5 years now. SMS is the best midfielder in Serie A for a while now.

40m + Gagsy would be a great deal for Inter. But its unlikely Lolito would accept that. And I doubt we have the moolah to offer more than that.

 

[rockball]

Don't think he is worth 70, or 60.

If we offer Gagliardini, they would demand even more. No one in their right mind wants that shit on their team.

Yeah he probably isn't. That's why he's staying because for Lazio he is worth just below that.
