Inter are an ambitious club now, no chance of this coming off.

Only chance we had was paying his release clause before it expired. I agree with you.

Could throw both Mich and morata at them

He does love Inter, I still believe that if we were willing to pay the fee he would have come. Kepa loved Bilbao and came. Big jump in salary and the bright lights of Prem are tough to say no to. its all speculation now anyways as we didn't hit the release clause so we will never know.

Still. The thoughts enough for a tingle!

[whats happening 1,525]

there would a lot of rumor about icardi if he wanted to leave inter. since he does not, there is no point of making up stuff. especially when inter doesnt have a say about his transfer.

[Blusan Alamb 295]

Rumour is that Real making move for him.

EDIT: Real Deny.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Let's do this. Sell Morata and half of the loan army and buy this man for £100m. He would score 40 goals a season under Sarri

[akgw13 867]

Perfect striker for exactly what we need. Would suit the prem perfect, love his attitude and striker instincts. If available, must buy simple as that.

Unbelievably BAD business by Marina and the board. We could have had him for only £10m more (£80m release clause) in summer 2017 (and January 2018) than we splashed out for the inept, gutless plonker  Morata. THEN, in 2018 the bollocksing continued as we could have sold Morata to Milan for £60-65m or so this past summer and purchased Icardi for £98m in July (between July 1st and July 15th, during his 2 week contractually-mandated window). Instead Marina tried to cash grab for £70 to £75m for the wanker Morata, thus Milan ended up making a deal with Juve for Higuain AND Caldara, with the ageing Bonucci going the other way. THAT not only fucked us on selling Morata but also fucked us on buying Rugani from Juve, as there was ZERO chance Juve would also sell their other young, Italian CB as well. We wasted our entire window chasing Italian chiaroscuro and phantoms. This was the 3rd summer in a row we got FUCKED by Italian clubs running out the window on us with multiple players.

It is shamefully amateurish, and if she and the other bean counters worked at my hedge fund, they would have been sacked for the half decade or so record of failure.

Inter will never sell Icardi in January unless we toss them Hazard PLUS cash, and Hazard doesnt want to go there anyway. Icardi's new contract (still unsigned) has a 150m (£133m) euro release clause. Given that we will more than likely take a monstrous bath on the Morata sale (at least a £35m or so loss when all fees are balanced, plus salary counted, and insurance factored in) there is almost no chance we end up dropping the combined £165m plus (counting the Morata loss) Icardi will cost this coming summer IF he renews. Even if he doesnt, his July 2019 window RC goes up to 125m euros (£110m or so).

We will be lucky to recoup £50m now for Morata, so that is a new gap of £60m additional EVEN if Icardi doesn't renew. Combine that with the £40m plus we lost on Courtois deal, that's 100 MILLION QUID or so in losses/extra spend needed to keep the club at anything remotely acceptable level. That is just ONE position too. It gets even worse when you factor in the Willian fiasco (I estimate that instead of an on par £65m sale to Barca and a £65m buy of Bailey, we will NOW be staring down at least a £30m gap (£45-50m MAX for Willian, IF we even sell him, and £75-80m or so Bailey.) Romagnoli at CB (Sarri's new target) will be at lease £20m more than Rugani would have cost IF we had just sold fucking Morata for a more than fair £60-65m, and thus locked up Rugani before Milan did the Bonucci/Higs swap/buy.

We are now at £150m WASTED. Count in the massive losses (either real and/or in terms of lost valuation) we will also take on Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Zappacosta, Alonso (maybe, and surely IF we do not sell him this summer) Cahill, and Moses, you are talking WELL over £250m in fiduciary malpractice, counting salaries paid to the dead-weight and also increased transfer costs for their replacements.

Cherry on the cake will be the bloodbath we will incur on Hazard if he doesn't renew. That will push the total to over 325 MILLION QUID or so in total losses and forced upgrades/redo's cost. That also assumes we even try and upgrade or replace. I honestly have to believe at this point that we are going to simply extend until 34yo or so dregs like Willian, Luiz, Alonso, etc. Would not even shock me if we renew Moses, Cahill, Fabregas.

INEPT IS TOO NICE A WORD. The club is being run into the ground.

CHELSEA TARGET ICARDI CONFIRMS HE WILL CONSIDER OFFERS TO LEAVE INTER

https://readchelsea.com/2018/10/23/chelsea-target-icardi-confirms-he-will-consider-offers-to-leave-inter/

Inter striker Mauro Icardi has confirmed that he will consider any offers that come in for him, amid interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Speaking about his future to Radio Onda Cero, as cited on Calciomercato, Icardi admitted that he is happy at the San Siro, but refused to rule out a future move away.

The Argentinian striker has been perennially linked with moves away from the Italian giants in recent years, but the club captain has always remained a key fixture at the San Siro.

Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of Icardi and could move for him as a potential replacement for Karim Benzema, who has seen his future in Spain questioned this season.

Icardi is said to be one of two strikers shortlisted by Maurizio Sarri in preparation for the January transfer window.

The Italian head coach wants to add to his forward line and has been linked with moves for Icardi and Genoa’s Krzysztof Piatek.

Offer them £60m and morata

If this is a January move, I fear it might take £80m plus AND Morata.

This all could have been avoided. See my crazy number of previous posts on the subject. I have been on the Icardi/Dybala train since Sampdoria/Palermo days.

So in other words £40m total?

No chance we land him in January. Inter would consider selling in the summer if he wanted to leave but can't see them sanctioning his sale mid season. Top striker though, wasn't sure if he'd ever be more than a goalscorer but hes brought so much more to his game the last few seasons, a complete striker.
