Lautaro Martinez

[Romario]

Rather we sign Vlahovic

You stole my thunder. I would much rather see him here. It is my honest opinion that just as we are looking at Gollini replacing our World Cup winning Captain next season we could well be looking at him being in exactly the same scenario as regards Harry Kane. I rate him that highly.

 

[LeBonge79]

Almost as if Inter are trying to get replacements in for two of their star men ?

€90m ?

Rather we sign Vlahovic

Rather we signed them both to be honest bored of the Harry Kane shenanigans just get enough for him to cover cost .130 million should do,not even bothered about getting the 180 to 200 or whatever, Harry’s probably got 3 or 4 top years left in him allowing for his ankles. The other two have got 8 to 10 years both high quality it’s a no brainer for me.

I don't think we've got the lira

Sell Kane and sign both

Use the excess funds from Kane to help with signing a creative midfielder

Don’t think there would be many excess funds if those reported numbers are to be true

Inter are apparently looking at insigne

 

[Azza1985]

Di Marzio is now suggesting that inter are after Insigne....looks like they are after more than one forward

For the 25M price tag banded about (because his contract ends June 2022) Insigne would make alot of sense for money stricken Inter and defo like for like in terms of Lautaro

Yup, £60m for Lautaro and £25-30m for Insigne is actually good business for them.

And if there's one thing Inter know about, it's good business.

 

[rossdapep]

€90m ?

They won't be getting that for him.

Only two years left on his contract and with Inter needing funds, this will be the last window they have to get a significant sum for him. If they overvalue him they lose that opportunity and they won't be able to ease the financial situation. The fact they are looking to bring in some of Zapata, Correa, Dzeko and Insigne for cheaper fees tells you that they are planning on his departure. They'd be committing suicide if they bring in them and fail to sell Martinez because they asked for too much.

If Kane only had two years on his contract we'd be facing a similar reality, minus the financial mess of course.

 

[Aphex]

Yeah targetting Insigne means they are definitely planning for Martinez departure.

 

[Guntz]

This will happen I reckon

I just hope he can live up to his price tag and he'll have big shoes to fill as I'm guessing Kane will be off.

Pretty sure that he won't be Harry's replacement. He is either being bought to play with Harry or alongside another new striker - presumably Vlahovic.

 

[journeyman]

This is a curious one for me. He’s a good player, obviously, but somewhat similar to what we have already in Sonny - and to a lesser extent, Stevie & Lucas - and certainly not a replacement for the Kane-sized hole we may be about to wrench open. I still think having a big and strong centre forward who can play with his back to goal is a vital currency in English football; I know City won the league without this, but their pursuit of Harry (together with Chelsea’s acquisition of Lukaku and Utd’s of Cavani) shows the importance of strength & size still in a no. 9. So, great, let’s get Lautaro if Paratici feels he offers long term value at the (high) quoted price. But we also, more than anything, need a Kane replacement (if he goes) & back-up too that offers us strength and power in the no. 9 role (whether that’s Vlahovic or someone else).

Yeah no way are they getting Dzeko Correa and someone like Insigne just to replace Lukaku

I very much doubt we shell out on a £60m striker without Kane leaving. Would love to be proved wrong as it would be a hell of a statement!

History dictates though, that Kane will be sold and Martinez will be his main replacement.

But I very much hope we buy Vlahovic as well!

My views exactly

 

[Snarfalicious]

The obvious partner to him is Vlahovic, should Kane be sold. But, there is also… WOUT WEGHORST! Think he’d be a smart choice should Vlahovic’ price prove prohibitive.
