Hakimi’s another I’ve wanted us to sign when he was going for peanuts. No chance of course with the outlay on AWB, but he’s a brilliant player.

Yeah. Conte seems to be building quite an interesting team.
The contrast in style from how BVB play and what will be expected at Inter will also greatly benefit Hakimi and will improve his game defensively quite abit. He's still only 21 too.

Good move from Inter. They lack good wingbacks, he will be outstanding with Eriksen, Lukaku and Martinez

Wait, so if Real are willing to sell and the player is willing to move, then why didn't Dortmund try to sign him?

Signing him seems implausible now given that they have signed Meunier, but I always thought it was because Real were not going to sell Hakimi.

Hakimi has been brilliant in his new RWB role, I think he would've been worth the 40 MP because of what he brings offensively. Don't think Meunier can provide the same.
Who knows what Dortmund does with all the money they get from scamming clubs with their players

Inter have actually been very good in the transfer market under Marotta and have closed the gap on Juve significantly. They've been buying many young players too with huge potential.
Yeah I quite like their business. Barella, Eriksen, even Lukaku. Also about to get Tonali and Hakimi. They gave a solid defender in Skrinniar too

Really strange Dortmund didn't sign him. Maybe they tried, but he wanted to go to a different country to develop. No way this has only started being negotiated since it was confirmed he'd return to Madrid.

They're also close to signing 20 year old Marash Kumbulla who has been brilliant for Hellas Verona in SerieA and also have some big talents in the youth team like Agoume and Esposito.

€20m for Haland, €20m for Bellingham and another €40m plus for Hakimi would be problematic for them i'd say in the current crisis.

Hargreaves developed knee tendonitis. Can happen to anyone. Bayern didnt want to sell him.
Developed? He had it. I seem to remember the surgeon remarking when he opened him up that it looked like a bomb had gone off in there, it was so bad. That kind of damage accumulates over time. He was done when he came here as his appearance and injury record show.

He supposedly will earn €5m net(!) at Inter. I doubt that Dortmund would want to match that. This foreigner tax law or however you wanna call it is a clear advantage for Italian clubs. Ronaldo, Lukaku, Eriksen, Ramsey...

Definitely. His all-round game will improve two-fold. He has a bright future ahead of him.

So they aren't as financially secure as some have suggested. Unless they don't see right back as a position in which they urgently need quality.
The issue probably is the cost of Hakimi who will likely cost around €50m in total which doesn't make sense for Dortmund's business model.

Hard to tell. Doesn’t mean they don’t have it, but it may well mean that they don’t think he’s 40m more than Thomas Meunière, which isn’t unreasonable.

And what Inter are paying will basically make him their record signing. I doubt they want to do that for a RB. They are jokers anyway, they would plan to actually keep Hakimi, rather seeing him as a cow they are fattening up to sell. They don’t like to spend big money, only receive it. Cheapskates.

I’m a little surprised he doesn’t interest Pep. Yeah he isn’t a brilliant defender but as an attacking force he is maybe the best around.

Just too expensive I think. Also forces Dortmund to play 3 at the back because Hakimi can't play as an RB, or rather needs to develop defensively a lot to be able to play RB.

Meunier was available for free and though he isn't young, probably helps then have money in the back to develop elsewhere. Otherwise Hakimi always said he was happy at Dortmund so I don't think it would've been a case of him not wanting to stay.

I would've preferred Hakimi to stay because he has amazing upside as a RWB and frankly Dortmund were much better under the 3 man defense system than the 4-3-3. But I guess financially it wasn't possible.

Still have no idea what Real are thinking letting him go with Carvajal not getting any younger at all...

Absolute steal for Inter, he's got the tools to be one of the best RB's in the world as I'm quite certain Conte will shore up his defending in due time

What he offers in attack will pay loads of dividends to Martinez and Lukaku next season

I laugh at every transfer because I was told teams wouldn't spend in this current market. Even tight fisted inter is spending
The windoww hasn't even started and we've seen Barcelona just spend 70m on a declining 30 year old,Juve 80m on a still not fully proven 25 year old and Dortmund and Chelsea already announced Meunier and Werner :lol: :lol:

If there's supposed to be a drought of transfers going on this summer, we've yet to see it so far

You know the numbers involved in arthur-pjanic swap is all about accounting profits for the year?

But yes, Icardi, Ashraf, Werner are indicative of a busy summer for some clubs. Chelsea still have huge money to spend and I don't know when we are gonna get started. Pep is gonna lose all his leftover hair if city don't spend another billion on the defense.

Interesting window up ahead.
