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

[Harpsabu]

What's with all the influx of transfer rumors lately, and most of them are contradicting each other

Either we are in total panic mode and the little hint on that could be the stalemate around the contract extensions, or journalist are using our crisis period to stir some shit up.

Juve loses dybala for free, next day they report juve will try to sign salah.

Inter do nothing, crisi inter

 

[junkie]

ffs when I read revolution I want to

 

[Capo]

Toro and Barella being sold.

I am drafting an angry letter to My Zhang as we speak. No Bueno!!!

 

[pazza moratti]

If we get guarantees that all the money we collect from them can be used to new players, I would sell them both if we get good offers. Barella this season has been almost as big disappointment as Lautaro. Both very inconsistent. They are at their peek and I cannot see them to improve that much? Lets bring Milinkovic-Savic one good DM and someone like Suarez and win some trophies!

Ignoring the legitimacy of this rumour already pointed out by @Il Drago

this would be laughable at best. It would mean either we're going 1000% in with Inzaghi and tuning the squad to exactly what he wants (not sure why he wouldn't want Barella) or our finances are so troublesome that we need to downgrade the squad immediately. I don't believe any of it anyway.

 

[CafeCordoba]

It's the latter one. We downgraded last summer and theses stories indicate the same thing will happen this summer.

You don't believe any of it because you don't want it to happen.

 

[Il Drago]

Or you believe it will happen because it happened last summer. But things are actually a lot different compared to last summer. We have extended the contracts of Dimarco, Bastoni, Barella, Lautaro, Brozovic and the entire management, we have secured a potential Handa's heir by signing Onana, we have already secured a Perisic replacement ahead of schedule by signing Gosens and, most importantly, we have concrete plans for the future (Bremer, Frattesi, Scamacca).

Could we sell more starters in the summer? Sure. After last summer i wouldn't rule out anything. But i am not going to take seriously a report that is based on the words of a youtuber.

I wonder what you'd say if we end up selling Barella and Frattesi ends up being his replacement

And also the Frattesi case is becoming difficult because of the Roma %. We are risking of losing Scamacca because we haven't concluded the deal twice already.
We're also stalling with Bremer a lot. We've had the agreement of the player for months now but we're lowballing Torino and they may end up sending him to the first one to make a proper bid. But I'm more confident about him coming than the two Italians as things stand.

Onana does not look like the heir of Handanovic, he looks like an expensive stop gap that we're hoping to sell within 24 months.

 

[Il Drago]

I wonder what you'd say if we end up selling Barella and Frattesi ends up being his replacement

I would say we're entering banter era, the club is dead under current ownership and basically bankrupt and even a vulture fund couldn't be any worse than Suning. But i hope it won't come to that and there's a bit common sense left in this club. Maybe it's false hope and i am in denial but i refuse to believe it till i see tangible proof.

For me if there's the slightest ambition left in this club Barella and Bastoni need to be untouchable. Period. You sell those two only if the alternative is default and Serie D.

 

[brehme1989]

With the mixture of Marotta and Suning, there's no untouchables.

Skriniar was almost sold (there was the toxic Conte element there as well).
De Vrij is a goner, when this was inconceivable last year.
Barella and Lautaro signed new deals months ago and they're still the first options to be sacrificed. I won't be surprised if by December we entertain offers for Brozovic.
We haven't even officially signed Correa yet and we're planning to sell him apparently the moment he's a full Inter player

I think Bastoni is the only untouchable until Guardiola's City comes up with a 100m offer. Then he'll be...touchable.

I believe it because it happened last summer AND because of the reports in the media indicating something is up. Some of the rumors in the media generally come out of nowhere (reporters heads) but these Inter reports from Diario AS sounds more like leaked there by Inter.

I'm almost certain we will sell at least one big player. You listing stuff isn't a proof of anything what might or might not happen in the summer IMO. They are more like setting up for the future. If anything, extending all those players, thus committing more money on the players we already have indicates even more we need to sell someone. Finances is what matters the most unfortunately, not the needs of this team.

 

[Ethor]

Yeah, this talk of an Inter "revolution" is worrisome, but it least it wasn't called "The Great Leap Forward". The current financial situation may end up with a two steps back approach, this summer will be interesting regardless.

 

[Capo]

Everyone can be sold bar Barella and Batoni. It would be suicide to sell these guys!!!

However, this hasn't been reported by a reputable source rather Youtuber? Can someone make a youtube video linking us with Mbappe?

 

[vasilios]

Let's hope against hope we can unfuck this season and win the scudetto because next season is going to be rough. We haven't been linked with a single player who will raise our level of play. Except Dybala I guess who could make the difference in the 5 matches where he's both fit and in the mood.

Meanwhile Juve will have a full year of Vlahovic instead of throwing away half the season with Morata/Kean. Plus presumably a healthy Chiesa at some point and you know they're going to sign Pogba or Jorginho or some other big name midfielder after some dickhead EPL team overpays for dipshits like McKennie and Arthur.

 

[pazza moratti]

We can use Pinamonti, Esposito, Satriano, Agoume, DeVrij and Radu to swaps or raise money.

So I think we will have solid summer ahead of us if get Bremer, upgrade Vecino and Gags with Frattesi + someone decent, upgrade Dzeko with better player like Suarez.

If we want to push higher we need to sell Lautaro or Barella. Both seems to be average under Inzaghi system and Im more than ready to sell both if that means we get players like SMS/Hakimi!

 

[RotterdamNerazzurri]

Unfortunetely our current squad is only able to qualify for the Champions League and we can’t expect to fight for titles. They played beyond expectations the first half of the season, maybe it was due the momentum of winning the Scudetto under Conte. We have part ways with our true leader on the field (Lukaku) and off the field with Conte. With the Hakimi departure we lost all our pace (and Lukaku) on counter attacks. We lost also Eriksen and De Vrij isn’t the player anymore he was under Conte. Lautaro also seems to be lost with his Dzeko partnership. That are 6 minor changes compared to last season. That’s just too much.

Although i do think we don’t need a complete squad overhaul to come back to winning titles again, it is gonna be a busy summer for us nevertheless. Also because a lot of our players run out of contract. What we do need is some flair, pace and individual class. We do have a good team, we just need some individual quality who can win matches for us and the ability to be dangerous on the counter again. The big question is; is Suning willing to invest a little bit to achieve that? Let’s hope so.

Our roster should be build around the following players imo; Onana, Skriniar, Bastoni, Gosens Brozovic, Barella and Lautaro. Hakan, Dumfries, Perisic, Correa(when finally fully fit) are also players good enough to play a big role for us. Than we have Handa, D’ambro, Dimarco, Darmian and Gags (or Sensi, but will he ever be fit again?) who can provide solid backup.

Firstly we have to sign Bremer. With De Vrij’s departure we need a quality CB and Bremer has serious class. Luiz Felipe can provide us a solid backup solution, something we also lack at the moment. He’s also a free agent coming summer.

Dumfries, Gosens, Perisic and Darmian will do in our current system. If we lose Darmian, we can try something for Dodo. He will also add some serious pace and flair to our roster.

With Vecino, Vidal and Sensi (or Gags) gone we will need 2 or 3 midfielders to sign. Frattesi and Kamara ( dm, free agent from Marseille) will be good and relatively cheap options. I would really like us to sign Zaniolo too. We have 25% disocount, so he will cost us only 30 million. He has some serious pace and skills. I know he plays as a winger or ss lately but i think he is more suited to a role behind our two strikers. Obviously someone like SMS or Szoboszlai would be a dream, but not realistic IMO.

My dream signing in attack is Darwin Nunez. A very strong and fast player. I think a partnership between Nunez and Lautaro will work very well. He will cost something like 60 million tho. Scamacca is also an option, but he isn’t ready to start for us yet. Then there is Dybala. I really like him when in form. But he is injured very often, on insane wages and i don’t think he want to play for us. I wouldn’t say goodbye to Lautaro for him. Depay will also be a free agent coming summer apparently. I believe he can be our ideal supersub.

Goalkeepers: Onana, Handanovic, Cordaz (?)
Central defenders: Skriniar, Bremer, Bastoni, Luiz Felipe, D'ambrosio, Dimarco
Wingbacks: Gosens, Dumfries, Dodo, Perisic
Midfielders: Barella, Brozovic, Hakan, Frattesi, Zaniolo, Kamara
Strikers: Lautaro, Nunez, Depay, Correa

 

[Materazzi_23]

Damn never thought I would think some way the same about football as someone supporting the second club of Rotterdam...

I don't think Suning is willing to spend a penny more than last summer. Even if we reach top 4 we are still f*cked. I really expect that Lautaro and De Vrij will be sold and in the worst case it will be Skriniar/Barella/Bastoni. Whoever will bring in the most cash will be sold.

Luiz Felipe would be an okayish as a back-up but he's asking way to much salary so I doubt we will go for him. Kamara would be okay but I'm afraid he will choose any English team over us. Zaniolo doesn't really have a place in our system right? We don't play with an AM and as a SS he doesn't fit it. SMS should be our main target and wet dream this summer. It would be f*ckin amazing to get him but yeah not realistic.

Darwin Nunez would be a great great choice. Really like the player and could perfectly be our main striker next season. Depay is a good shout, especially consider the rumours before his move to Barcelona and the fact they want to get ride of him. Only concern with him is his mental abilities. As long as he doesn't act like Inter should be thankfull towards him because he plays here.

I would like to add Steven Bergwijn to the list. Has pace, can dribble and can score. Is on the bench at Spurs but does a great job in the 3-5-2 system which our National team is playing. He wouldn't cost much as he hardly plays at Spurs.

The problem with all these players you are mention that they all add something to the team but I'm afraid almost all are a dream. They only guys I see coming are Bremer/ Frattesi and Scamacca. If we lose 1 starter it will be a downgrade again and although we didn't fall outside the top 4 spot and still have our eyes on the Scudetto. If we fail to upgrade the team this summer we will fall behind and we can't make it up with the poor man's wallet we got right now.

Haha, there is a first time for everything

I hope Suning realize it is necessary to invest to keep up with Juve. But yeah, probably not. Then we should sell Lautaro, although I would be really disappointed by that. Replace him with Dybala and you have money to invest further.

I think Zaniolo could play under Inzaghi. Conte is a whole different matter, but he’s gone. Zaniolo behind Lautaro (Dybala) and Nunez, like Luis Alberto behind Immobile and Correa.

I’m not a fan of Bergwijn, yes he’s doin’ great at our NT, but don’t see him as starting material for us. Depay on the other hand has proven himself at Lyon and his mental abilities seem very stable at Barca too. He has grown a lot on that matter.

Yes probably just a fantasy about Nunez and Zaniolo. But they would add so much class to our roster.

HOW MUCH SERIE A CLUBS SPENT ON AGENTS’ FEES IN 2021​

Serie A clubs spent €174m on agents’ fees in 2021, 26% more than in 2020, with Juventus, Inter and Roma the top three spenders last year.

Despite the financial crisis hitting Italian football, Serie A clubs spent more money on agent fees in 2021 than in the previous year.

As Calcio&Finanza highlights, the average spending of Serie A clubs on agent fees in 2021 is €8.7m. The tally includes negotiations for new signings, sales or contract extensions. Last year, Juventus paid almost €30m to agents, followed by Inter and Roma. There is a huge gap between the top three spenders and the other clubs. Milan are fourth with slightly more than €12m.

The Rossoneri saw Gigio Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu leave at the end of their contracts in the summer and agents’ fees are believed to be one of the reasons why the Rossoneri failed to extend with their former stars.

Napoli, who currently sit second in the Serie A table, are behind Atalanta, Fiorentina and Sampdoria have paid less than €7m to players’ representatives in 2021.

Agent fees: How much did Serie A clubs spend in 2021?

1. Juventus – €28.914.175 euro
2. Inter – €27.512.882 euro

Anyone thinking of raising their kid as a football agent?

If Barella leaves, I'll need more weed and booze this summer (than usually)
