This week is the deadline! Inter Milan buys Lukeman with a price increase, is it worth it to buy Paval for Leoni

Inter Milan can still make such a big noise in the last week of the transfer window. The Lukeman deal was still in a stalemate after more than a month of negotiations. Paval was suddenly sold for money to buy his old subordinates. Now he has to set an ultimatum. On the surface, it is a time to strengthen the lineup, but in fact it exposes the management's double-line defeat in the capital chain and negotiation strategy.

This way of playing the game of tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall is likely to collapse the tactical system of the new season in advance.

The key contradictions are all stuck on money.

Atlanta's 50 million cash was clearly a retaliatory pricing - Last year, Onana's free transfer to Inter Milan caused Atlanta to suffer a secret loss, and this time he seized the opportunity and spoke directly.

However, under FFP monitoring, the Nerazzurri could not afford so much cash. They forced 45 million to be fixed + 5 million to float and also had to sell Paval simultaneously, which was completely a gambling that was forced to the edge of the cliff.

Look at the methods Juventus dealt with similar issues in the same league: when he grabbed Vlahovic, the premium was 70 million, but he immediately used Chiellini to retire and free up salary space to hedge risks. Inter Milan this time tied two transactions that required high accuracy into a chain of latencies.

The most dangerous thing is actually the Paval transaction.

29-year-old defender market prices are generally inflated, but using the hidden danger of serious injuries as a reason for selling is untenable - among the defenders with a full attendance rate of 83% in Serie A last season, Paval ranked in the top five in the success rate of the confrontation and accuracy of long passes.

Now I am eager to use the 35 million he exchanged for to buy the 22-year-old Leoni, which is more like Zivo is engaged in master-apprentice politics.

Parma's asking price is obviously mixed. Last season, Serie B's average of 1.9 interceptions per game cannot even reach the Premier League team. The premium closing of this potential stock is obviously contrary to Marlotta's "bad-picking signings". A similar mistake was made in Gossen three years ago, when he used 24-year-old Cassati + cash for 29-year-old wingbacks, which directly led to a fault in the echelon construction.

The transfer window is set to a deadline, which is even more useless. Atlanta Chairman Percassi is a well-known negotiator. Last year, he sold Hoylund to Manchester United to raise the price at the right time. Now Inter Milan takes the initiative to show his bottom line, which is equivalent to telling his opponent "I urgently use the striker". This psychological loss method has long been precedent in Serie A. In 2018, Milan announced the "last offer" in advance when she chased Higuain, but Juventus cheated him of 8 million commissions. Real negotiators should put smoke bombs at this time, such as suddenly contacting Beto or Scarmaca to create the illusion of competition, rather than throwing their trump card on the table and fighting hard.

The most important thing to be wary of is that the salary structure is out of control. Lukeman's weekly salary of 100,000 euros is not high, but Lautaro's contract renewal has not been agreed, and Barrera has just increased his salary to 180,000. If the salary of new players breaks the balance, conflicts in the locker room will break out in minutes. This plot was performed in Naples last season. After Osmaine's salary increase, Kvaratshelia's team immediately caused trouble, which directly led to the team's collapse. Selling Paval now seems to have freed up salary space, but as a newcomer, Leoni will not ask for a weekly salary of less than 70,000 yuan. He doesn't save much inside and outside, but may stimulate the psychological imbalance of existing players.

After all, the management is too greedy. We must rely on visa-free veterans to maintain their competitiveness, and also want to scrape lottery and make them younger. The lack of straits on both ends is the fatal point. Let’s see why Atlanta can continue to produce hemorrhage. People insist on using players under 23 as core assets, and would rather let Hoylund go than save Scarmaca. If Lukeman is really cashed out for 50 million this time, he can smash three potential new stars by turning his head. This operation mode is in line with the survival rules of modern football. Inter Milan is still playing the traditional money-burning game of wealthy families ten years ago, and the FFP red line will sooner or later explode.

The only chance to turn the table now is to cut the deal. Lukeman's offer was 40 million yuan to be topped off, and the money saved was used to make up for loopholes in the back. Paval will be kept for half a season, and it will be a premium for selling it to Saudi Arabia in the winter window. Although you may be scolded by fans in the short term, it is better than losing the entire season. Let’s see how Arsenal deals with Pepe. It’s better to have bad hands than to damage financial health. This is the determination that wealthy families should have.
