Exclusive Tinti: "Bastoni has been waiting for renewal for four months ..."

The prosecutor of the Inter defender raises the alarm: "Everything is ready, but if we arrive in July ... Salary cut? An inappropriate request"

MILAN - Tullio Tinti is one of the two or three most famous and important Italian agents, but also one of those who are less willing to give interviews. Yesterday, however, the prosecutor from Brescia had something to say. Not only to Bastoni , Ranocchia and Darmian , the three players who have been assisting Inter for some time, but also to the request made by the owners to cut two months' wages with the Italian flag. 

 

Tinti, where do we start? 

"Give congratulations to Bastoni, Ranocchia and Darmian. I am satisfied for them that they are good players, but also and above all good guys. Andrea who, when called into question, if he was not the best on the field, was always ready and offered high-level performances. Ditto Alessandro and Matteo. They are three guys who go to a thousand in training and in the game, whether they play 10 'or 90', but also three professionals who cheer on their teammates from outside to form a strong and who, to stay or come to Inter, have made sacrifices ". 

Did the championship come thanks to this chemistry that was created in the locker room? 

"Inter were one of the candidates, but they were not the favorites. They won and it is obligatory to enhance the work of the coach who in two years has allowed the group to make an incredible leap in quality. After the elimination from the Champions League last season. December saw a change of pace and the players became isolated despite the ownership being absent for seven months. " 

Now Zhang is back and announced the cuts?

"When I read about this request for a two-month salary cut, I was amazed, but not entirely. Already in January I had an unclear situation with Eder who was playing in the Suning club in China. We understood that the situation had arisen. tangled and we asked for the early termination (of six months, ed) of the contract because there was the possibility of returning to Italy. neither salary nor contributions. So he has not yet been able to transfer his money from China. In addition, the club has not signed up for the league. This makes no sense.

I swear if we sign that 🥦 headed fraud back to Chelsea.. we riot in the streets.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

There seems to be big demand for central defenders currently but also a certain supply of decent ones. Some deals already done like Alaba, Upamecano and Konate, but Süle, Bastoni, Lacroix and many others still up for grabs.

Surely I trust our board to grab a decent one even though for me it is not priority no. 1, so we should not overspend. We got a few good ones, Thaigo got one more year in his tank I think. Also Guehi was one of the best defenders in the CS, he might very well have a role to play.

If Conte can't find a way to compromise, then good luck to him finding a club that will forever bend to his will and demands because he's never going to get the City job and no other club will just spend money willy nilly for the manager. 

Antonio Conte Names Seven Inter ‘Untouchables’ Including Achraf Hakimi & Lautaro Martinez, Italian Media Claim

https://sempreinter.com/2021/05/24/antonio-conte-names-seven-inter-untouchables-including-achraf-hakimi-lautaro-martinez-italian-media-claim/

Antonio Conte has warned Inter against selling any of seven key players, according to a report in the Italian media today.

 

Gazzetta.it said Conte would ask club president Steven Zhang to keep hold of Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni, Achraf Hakimi, Nicolo Barella, Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku.

Conte wants to continue as Inter’s head coach because he has created a special bond with his players, and because he thinks they can win Serie A again next season while making progress in Europe.

 

However, there are certain requests he will make to Zhang when the pair meet to discuss his future, and keeping those seven stars is one of them.

Conte will also ask for another left-footed wing-back in the transfer window, with Ashley Young set to be released when his contract expires.

He is expected to request either Emerson Palmieri or Marcos Alonso from Chelsea, but Inter are more likely to recall Federico Dimarco from his loan spell at Hellas Verona.

Conte also wants another midfielder and a new fourth-choice striker, as Andrea Pinamonti is expected to leave after struggling for game time.

Udinese captain Rodrigo de Paul is his dream signing in midfield, but the Bianconeri want €40 million to sell the Argentine (although they might accept a player as collateral in the deal).

Luis Muriel would cost €30 million in attack while Olivier Giroud wants a very high salary, so Inter might need to recall Eddie Salcedo from Hellas Verona as a low-cost alternative.

He wants Gosens from Atalanta and De Paul fro Udinese

those are the ones the club is balking at, PLUS they want players to (this is crazy) take a 20% PAY CUT

We so need to scupper Citeh with Bastoni

if Citeh add Håland and Bastoni plus sort their LB situ

then dog help the planet

especially if they next year snag Mbappe via some deal now

if they pull those 3 off

you are talking about a team that could be equal or better than those 2008 to 2013 Barca squads

and the late 80's to mid 1990's AC Milan sides as the best in history

[Pizy 18,538]

It surely won’t happen (I pray) but imagine if we passed on bringing Hazard back and instead brought Willian back.

Why the fuck the club always does this, buys some quality players and after always surrounds it with trash, remember in 2016 all we needed were just one or two quality players to have Hazard play with, instead bought retards like Bakayoko and Drinkwater, gave new contract to Alonso and kept the Brazilian just to make sure Hazard is the only dangerous player in attack.

Even the fucking Inter fans wouldn't mind Lukacow leave, shows exactly how average the guy really is.

Hazard is also done at this level. If I HAVE to choose between the two, obviously I'll go with Hazard but he's not good enough anymore. We got the best days out of him before he moved to Madrid.

 

In other news, Conte is now definitely leaving Milan...

Not convinced Eden is completely done. If he came back “home” and was a rotation option rather than the main man expected to carry the whole team I think he’s still extremely useful. 
 

As for Conte, I sincerely hope he doesn’t go to Spuds. Not just because I still really like him but because he could be exactly what they need to take the next step up. Unlike José he’s a builder and gets along with his players. He may be extremely difficult to work with from the boards perspective but he’ll build you a winning team if given the chance. 
 

Bringing him in would be just the sort of ambitious move that could get Kane to stay and also help attract top players. So I hope he goes elsewhere.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Nahh I dont see Conte going to spurs, he is a proud man and I cant see him tarnishing his repu on stinking spurs ( thanks for the top 4 though )

[Jase 43,479]

Am sure the irony of re-signing a striker that we sold at a young age will not be lost on Abraham. 

While Inter are trying to cut costs, am not sure how much they are willing to part ways with their biggest prized asset in Lukaku, unless he pushes to leave. Otherwise, not sure he would leave considering he's adored by the Inter fans and isn't battered by the Italian media compared to the English media in England. But with their other players...might be worth testing the water.

Liking/disliking him is matter of taste but at the age of 28 having this numbers is way above average.. Over 100 goals in PL, 47 goals in Serie A, 59 goals for Belgium.. Amazing

[Mário César 1,054]

Diego Costa besides goal it was a shit player but nobody really cares, right?

[Superblue 6,372]

I'm still not completely sold on Lukaku (specifically his touch) and I think his problem coming here will always be comparisons with Drogba which are always going to be unfair on him.

However, I think given his goalscoring record throughout his career, and his experience within the Premier League, he's a far less riskier signing than almost all other options which may be available this summer.

[chippy 342]

I'm hardly a big fan of William, but I do think some of the hate towards him is a bit OTT.

He was another very frustrating player who never fulfilled his potential and his body language on the pitch left a lot to be desired at times,  but he did have some very good games for us too. Also, he never downed tools in the season of the three so called traitors.

For sure, we should have moved him on earlier than we did, but all the same  he's not deserving this level of stick.

 

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Now Conte is officially gone (stupid inter owner) and their downsizing will be pulled through, we should definitely raid them. Maybe Hakimi, Bastoni, Brozovic, barella could be pondered.
