Nucasol Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Andy Brassell on TalkSPORT saying that Inter are skint and the team was always likely to go different ways like the Mourinho UCL winning team of 2010. Need to sell to buy, hence the sale as they have a €270m loan to pay back next year. Onana also likely to go. His stumbling block will be convincing Barella to sign. Inter fan since a kid, little interest previously in leaving Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) You’d think we wouldn’t be anywhere near the deal if there was no chance he’d actually want to join. Edited June 14, 2023 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Andy Brassell just on Talksport. He said that Inter need to raise circa £250 million to pay off an outstanding loan, so they'll be selling key players this summer. He thinks the hardest part will be convincing the player, who is a boyhood Inter fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But very few top class Italian midfielders have ever moved to England. I can't think of any. It's why I can't see this transfer happening at all personally.

The Prophet Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 So it looks like this loan has been issued by Oaktree and an interest payment of £250 million is due as of now. It's secured against the clubs, so if they default the current ownership would lose the club to Oaktree. Their sponsor also recently failed to make its scheduled payment, so they need to start selling players. It sounds pretty opportunistic if we are indeed in for him.
