Simone Benedetti

[.h.]

he looks set to go to avellino on loan

 

[.h.]

Benedetti has moved to Cagliari for 1 million euros. Inter will have the option to re-purchase him in future.

Similar to Benassi, how good this is depends on how long we have the option for, but in principle, I like these moves.

This buyback-clause shit looks, sounds and tastes so much of the old co-ownership deals, planting the player to small club and let him develop there.

 

[.h.]

oh its the exact same thing, basically.

the only difference now is they can force our hand. If someone comes in after an average season for benassi and tries to buy him, then we either have to commit then or never. Before we could just reject the offer for our half.

It gives our players a chance to shine in their clubs, and as there is an established buy back transfer fee, even if they get 10x times better, we can get it for the price established the past season, so it's not only better than the previous co-ownership deals, but better if you're the club giving that buy-back clause.

Not entirely, though.

If Juventus move to sign Benassi, then we have no choice but to sign him or lose him. We cant reject their bid for half of him as we used to be able to.

There are pros and cons, its a different system. I wouldnt say it is inherently better, but it is obviously better than just selling them outright.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah. And like you have said, big part of the the advantage depends on the duration of the buyback clause. If there's no set time, it's great. If it's a fixed time, it can be risky for us.

 

[.h.]

exactly. I assume, given the discount on the players, its more than just 1 year, but lets hope so.

If Juventus were to sign him, it's because he's good, not because they want to screw us, so it's more of a secure gamble than it used to be

We may not be able to refuse offers, but if they offer for some of our players, then we can buy him back and sell him to another party in the same market (transfer rules establishes a player can't play for 3 different teams in a same year) so we could even profit using this kind of tactics

Juventus would be a good thing. However if a team like Palermo decided they wanted to buy him next summer, and he's still not quite good enough to come back to Inter then it gets a bit more complicated. We would obviously have the option to exercise the clause and than resell somewhere else provided we add another clause.

Going to Cagliari for 1,2m€.

yaaay youth project in motion!

ET says we keep our kids but then the next day we start selling them but I think he only meant the good ones like Kova,Icardi and em...that's it hahaha

 

[.h.]

I think Benedetti hasnt come along as much as we'd like. 3 seasons in Serie B now, you'd have hoped he'd make the step up to Serie A by then to be honest. Obviously he is next season, but still.



Anyway, have a read of this

It should explain why I'm happy with the Benedetti sale.

 

[thatdude]

Gone to Cagliari outright. Looks like he will be the Astori replacement.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Sold for 4m€. Apparently there's no buyback-clause.

[.h.]

4m is decent for him tbh.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Apparently Google translator gave it wrong to me. It's 1,5m€ transfer fee according to his agent and 4m€ buyback-clause.

(if I interpret this translation correctly)

 

[.h.]

Well, also fine. 4m clause must mean its for more than 1 season..
