100m, I'm not 100% sure about, but if we push that to like 120... It'd be hard to say no. I dont know necessarily who we can replace Lukaku with, but that's a lot of money. If we doesnt leave this summer, realistically, we're not making money off of him - I can see him staying at Inter for a few seasons and not being worth a huge amount. Which is fine, if he clocks 30 goals a season for that time.

Agreed, there is no way Conte stays here for more than two years and also 100-110mil could be used to buy two strikers and a LWB.

I love lukaku, but 100m is too good not to turn down. He's a player that relies on his speed and power as well the attributes that usually go first and in terms of football mileage, he's racked up a hell of a lot! I love Rom but 100m is too much not to take.

Though, I guess it depends on signing a good replacement and not blowing the full 100m on a flop replacement

20 million profit is not a huge sum. IMO 100 million is too low for Lukaku. If he was playing in EPL with those stats he would be worth 150 million at least.

Sl that would be my asking price, 150 million. That's pocket change for City.

They can take that 100 million and shove it up their asses.

20mil profit in the middle of COVID isnt bad though. If it was non-COVID then 120-140 is probably within reach, but we're in COVID.

remember, on his book basis he'll be worth like ~40m for us now, so 100m would give us 60m plusvalenza.

Meeh, Kane is worth is 150, Lukaku is 100. It's a fair price. If we overpaid for Lukaku before, then obviously you would want this money for Lukaku.

Kane has never helped his team lift the PL trophy though. We have to put in his merits and not only stats. I don't understand why people are so fast to bend over, we bought a player that was valuated in PL terms, if they want him they can pay the PL valuated terms.

Thank god its Marotta holding the strings now.

That's the thing. It's a fair price. Imo we should only sell him if the offer is too good to refuse. Lukaku is crucial in Conte's plans and it won't be easy to replace him. We should only let him go in case a team decides to overpay for him. I wouldn't sell him for less than 120m.

Di Marzio said last night City are willing to offer more than 100m for Lukaku but Inter have no intention to sell him.

Did he mean Chelsea? Or Jordan Lukaku? City badly need a no 9 but is Kaku a fit for Guardiola's tactics? He doesn't press, his link up play is slow, he's not effective in crowded spaces, I don't think Haaland is a good fit either but at least he's young and can learn. On the other hand Kane is perfect. Guardiola doesn't favor striker who can only put the ball in the net. He basically wants another midfielder but playing further forward. Kaku definitely isn't that. But hey, maybe their scouting is just as bad as ours.

Guardiola made freaking Sterling work, I don't think he'll have issues with Lukaku.

Sterling was like 20/21 when he signed. Unless Kaku has a high IQ like Lewa (who previously had a season long stint as an attacking midfielder under Klopp), loses a couple of KGs so he can high press for 60-90 minutes, suddenly develop world class technique, I fail to see how Guardiola won't have issues. Remember he failed with Ibra at Barcelona, even Gotze Bayern. Guardiola is very particular.

Toro is a much better fit IMO.

His worst game in an Inter jersey by far. He didn't do anything right tonight. Any other coach would have subbed him tonight.
