that 40m is in euros

zero chance he was only worth £35m, come on, let's be realistic here!

Enzo was going to cost (in terms of what he would cost to buy) at least double that (or more) before the World Cup

the WC ensured they will hold out for his release clause or damn close

Benfica 'reject an £88m offer from an unnamed club for Liverpool target Enzo Fernandez with the Portuguese side holding out for his £105m release clause' after the Argentina star's value soared thanks to World Cup glory

Cheaper Enzo alternative 

£53m (€60m) release clause

so basically almost exactly half of what Enzo will cost (€120 RC, so £105.86m atm)

two sort of different type of players

Martín Zubimendi is almost exclusively a deep holding DMF who almost never scores (4 total topflight goals in 116 games). like a shorter Busquets with more pace but less finesse He is a very solid player, I rate him.

Enzo is like Bellingham to a point, as he can play anywhere in the MF, and already has 17 top-flight goals in 118 games, despite also playing at times as a deep playmaker

I expect he will become a 8 to 12 goals a season (all comps) scorer (maybe more if he plays more of an attacking role), besides his creativity and defensive nous

Chelsea ready to step in to sign Milan Skriniar

https://football-talk.co.uk/177006/Chelsea-ready-to-step-in-to-sign-milan-skriniar/

According to Calciomercato.it, Chelsea are ready to step in to sign Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar on a free transfer next summer.

The Slovakian international was fancied to leave the Serie A giants last summer, but they decided to keep him as they were no suitable offers on the table. He will now enter the final six months of his contract in January and Calciomercato claim that Inter have yet to convince him over a renewal.

The £53 million star has not accepted their latest contract offer of £6.2 million per year. It is reported that Chelsea could capitalise on the situation to sign him on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Experience

Chelsea lost two key central defenders in Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen last summer. They replaced them with Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana, but the duo are yet to have a significant impact on the club’s performances this season.

Fofana suffered a serious knee injury within a few matches for Chelsea while Koulibaly has looked out of his depth in English football. Despite his vast Serie A experience, he has had troubles adapting to the Premier League due to the high intensity.

Koulibaly will be aiming to prove a point when the season resumes, but Chelsea should be wary of signing Skriniar for the same reason. The 27-year-old has been an outstanding player for Inter with his strong concentration and distribution skills.

However, the transition from the Serie A to English football has not been smooth for many players including Denis Zakaria, who is still awaiting his Premier League debut for Chelsea. The Swiss midfielder joined them from Juventus on loan in September.

Hence, there is the risk associated with signing Skriniar but the opportunity to land him on a free transfer could be hard to ignore. Chelsea obviously need another central defender for next season as Thiago Silva is already 38 and could call time on his career soon.

Skriniar would fit into the club’s requirement for an experienced replacement but whether he would succeed in the Premier League is left to be seen. Paris Saint-Germain could be Chelsea’s main competitors for the Slovakian, having failed to sign him last summer.

Inter To Negotiate With Romelu Lukaku To Accept Lower Wages To Extend Loan Over Next Season, Italian Media Report

https://sempreinter.com/2022/12/23/inter-to-negotiate-with-romelu-lukaku-to-accept-lower-wages-to-extend-loan-over-next-season-italian-media-report/

Inter will try to negotiate lower wages with striker Romelu Lukaku when they negotiate an extension of his loan spell from Chelsea next season.

This according to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.com, who report that the Nerazzurri could look to lower the Belgian’s wages in addition to asking for a lower loan fee from Chelsea.

Inter are still considering how they want to approach the future with Lukaku.

The 29-year-old’s performances over the remainder of the current season will play a significant role in any decision that the Nerazzurri make.

Should Inter decide to try to extend Lukaku’s loan, they are likely to ask to renegotiate the fee with Chelsea, on the basis of the striker’s injury troubles this season.

Meanwhile, if the 29-year-old is not able to contribute at the same level that he once did, the club could also try to negotiate a reduction in his wages to reflect this.

I think we should just let him rot in the reserves. There is obviously no way back for him and I don't want to do Inter any favours when they never sell us their players. Swapping lukaku for Bastoni or Skriniar was such an obvious deal for both of us but they are stubborn and still want to one up us. Make them splash out on a new backup and destroy fat roms career is my take from this.
