Ridiculous that they are actually lowering their demands. Just shows you how desperate Zhang is. What a ridiculous, dead club Inter is.

According to Biasin, till now there's no improved offer from Chelsea. Chelsea's last offer remains 100m plus Alonso. In any case, any improved Chelsea offer won't be evaluated by the Inter directros but directly by the club ownership.

They've probably realized that the ownership is so desperate that there is no reason to improve their offer. It's likely they're regretting putting forth an offer in that region to begin with.

I'm anticipating a decreased offer in the next few days.. something we might already have, considering the rumours are going from €130m cash to €100m + Zappacosta.

Jesus Christ. Offering Zappacosta is just such a fucking insult. Far worse than offering no one at all. That's like making a bid for Haaland with Longo as a sweetener
Actually it's a smart move, knowing that they are dealing with Inter.

Really what a difference if we get 115 or 130 or 150, the question is how much will be spend for new forward. We can get 150 mln and still just 30 min for replacement.

Of course it's % of the sale price. There's surely some minimum sum owners want to take to easy the debts but surely they allow management to take everything over it.

I don't like these latest rumors of 115m€ price which Inter could take. We need to keep the 130m€ price and stick to it, with a deadline. This Sunday sounds like a good deadline to me. If Marina hasn't presented a cash offer of 130m€, Lukaku stays at Inter. Let's see who blinks first. And keep Steven's hands off the fax machine, grown-ups will handle this business transaction.

I have a feeling Suning will capitulate at the last moment and it’ll be something like 90m + one of their mediocre WBs. So barely any profit for what he was bought for in the first place. And said profit will quickly get eaten up by another high earner like Alonso.

It should be 120-130m straight cash or no deal tbh

According to GdS, Chelsea's latest offer was 110m plus Zappacosta but it was rejected as Inter insist on 120m cash. Marotta is negotiating the deal but the final word will be on Zhang.

Yes, the fans will revolt if we sell Lukaku without signing Zapata, Scamacca and Dumfries.

We will be extremely revolted by that in fact.

well, that's one of our current major problem. Marotta and co so far cant offload any player properly or with reasonable price. maybe Zhang is pissed. or he only cares about his money.

The more it gets drag on, the more difficult for the coach and team to adjust with new striker(s). Possibly the more difficult and expensive for us to get replacement given that it will be closer to start of the season. If only Zhang has common sense. But financial constraint can sometime makes people lose their common sense.

If we really have no choice but to sell lukaku, sell him at 130 mill at least and better use some of the money as salary budget to sign messi for 2-3 years.

Messi can work with lautaro and solve our attacking output issue we losses from losing hakimi for short term.

The possible impact commercially for inter and serie a could be positive too

For me the strangest thing about this saga is Chelsea have offered a contract to Lukaku till he's 33 while they're usually very reluctant to offer long-term contracts to 30+ players. They have a policy of offering only one-year extensions to their 30+ players. This is another thing, apart from the transfer fee, that shows Chelsea are really desperate to get him. We should take advantage of it and get as much as we can.

Even of Conte was here and Suning was not in the process of imploding, there would be ~1% chance of signing Messi, let alone now.
