Rai Sport report on the details of how Geoffrey Kondogbia was secured by Inter and not Milan.
Inter and Monaco reached agreement at €30 million with €8-€9 million in bonuses within easy reach. Monaco will also receive 10% of any future resale of the player from Inter. The player’s contract is €3.8 million per season plus performance bonuses.
It has been revealed that Milan offered more money, both to club and player; €40 million for the player to be paid in two installments, and €4.2 million net per season plus bonuses in salary for Geoffrey.
The Frenchman preferred Inter and the Nerazzurri’s project thanks in no small way to the constant telephone contact with Roberto Mancini.

Author’s note: Whom do you think Mazzarri would be able to persuade to join us? Versus those Mancini has brought in? I swear, if anyone still prefers him to Mancio…
What do you think about the details regarding Kondo’s move? Comment below!

Now.. javi martinez… get him..
and don’t forget Messi too
Why would we agree to give Monaco 10% of resale what a terrible idea. We already over paid at almost 40mill and so they will get even more, that’s terrible negotiating.
lolll if you head off transfer off inter there will bee another guarin who came to inter
@author.. Mazzari preferred i have no doubt in my mind Inter would have finished 3rd with same squad last year, i have no doubts Mazzari would have used Hernannes and Shaquiri and Kovacic better.. now you must understand FIFA forbid coaches from speakin to players about transfers, or try t o prsuade players into a team, Media reports what media want to reports, Inter announce what fassone and his league wants.. but Mancini can pursue no body, and if this goes to fifa, Mancini and the club and the player will deny any contact…. Mancini might have the squad he want but if can’t storm serie A with win after another next year, if he cant form a team that can score 7 goals to good side like saossulo 2 years in row… let alone lose 3-1… i respect mancini great deal, i dont like those who disrespect mazzari, at least he picked up the team from 9th to 5, mancini brought it down to 8th … you people back by inter Ultras and gangs ruined inter for us and all the fans, Mazzari was ousted for being eithical and kiss no ones ass, he asked for little and kept his head down. he didnt know how to deal with mafia world of Morrati’s family, he didnt kiss Morattis ass long enogh ..thats the truth
lol.. what the problem with you guys!? mancini have gave inter the title we long for decades.. before mancini we live in the nighmare.. he gave us serie a and copa italia.. before mou era, is mancini that gave us the winning squad.. give the guy respect that he deserve…
as i said have nothing but respect for manicio, am i happy with last season no, was his fault yes, that been said its never easy to take on team midseason, i give him that. the wining team .. will so much to say about that, but we have to see what this year will turn into am honestly tired of being optimistic, and i stick by the truth which Mazzari was treated unfairly, by the Ultras and the Morrati gang..
that been said: i was there in san siro every game, i was there watching the lads demolishing Saossulo 7-0 and i was there watching 1-4 loss to cagliri, and i can tell you who fault it was.. the Negative Ultras that fueled hate against ordered by Morrati to do so… thats another fact Forza Inter
and you treat mancini unfair too.. it is not easy to take over a team that about to sink from last season.. if you want to judge him.. judge him after the end of this season.. that’s what i do to mazzari too.. i never speak shiit about him, until i gave him enough time.. not just the result.. you can see the difference in the game play..
i said will judge Mancio end of next year, as a hard core inter lover am simply sick of expecting things that dont arrive.. am sure you feel the same, when in it comes to that..
I agree with you he have imposed better play style, but we ended up 8th (you happy about that cause am not) Mazzari was treated wrong have you been in the san siro when shit start breaking lose and fans will diss him for no reason, if you havent please dont make conclusion cause you dont seem to know the facts of how and what happned with Mazzari.. any ways figers tightly crossed that manicio will bring us back to the days of glory.. Forza Inter
like i said, i never judge a coach when they still in charge.. but agree with mazzzari being treat like shit in the end of his era with us.. but we gave him time that and player he want.. tbh, our fan treat the spanish coach even worst.. and i never like when people work their ass for us to be treat like shit.. this happen to some player to.. but to said that mazzari would brough us to a better possition it’s unfair to mancini too… 🙂
Heyy.. I’m one of a fan who excited when mazzari come to inter, regarding what he have done with napoli, and when he made Inter back to 5th, and i believed that the next year inter with mazzari will be better than that, because the transition from 4 defense to 3 defense, but as we can see last season there was no improvement and the team play was so predictable. And i was joyed to watch inter win 7-0 against sassuolo (even i only can watch from TV) but we cannot compare one or two games with so many games mazzari have with inter.
I respect him, he manage the team with all his passion, but we must see the truth that inter with mancini is better in team played, and mancini cannot use his fav 4-2-3-1 because podolski is not in good form, and not forget to mantion that our defense have many errors or miss understanding
that’s my point my friend.. 🙂
guys i totally agree as well, all am saying the bad results for mazzari were a result of tension in the back room as he was treated badly by fans ordered by Morrati .. Moratti hurt us bad last year. he didnt put inter first, thats it and i hope Mancio will get better respect from inter management ..
they should respect him.. he already gave us so much..
what about stop ‘expecting things that dont arrive’ and start hoping for the best? I one who support Mazzari when he come to Inter after what he done with Napoli, but after he keep blaming Kovacic, ref, despite change his stupid formation and mentality, I will bash him like I bash any coach who think he bigger than the club (Benitez, Gasperini, etc). I’m not Mancini fans, if he failed to deliver result next season, I dont mind if the fans bash him too.
“A donkey will never be a horse race.” That’s what Mourinho the special one told to the donkey one. If you want to promote fairness and justice, just go to NGO.
Football is a business of winning something. You have to deliver the results by winning something. Mancio did that years ago with us. He was better than the donkey who’ve never won any great silverware in his career. Period.
Eyyy Mahdi, you seem to forget that Mazzari just could have picked up the phone and brought in a player like Gargano, lol.
Mwahahahaha. One does not simply say “No” to Mancio. Dunno what he tells them, but keep up the good work.
Happy to see Kondogbia joints us. Hope he pays back much! Very expensive deal in a difficult period. I think Kondogbia wanted to work with Mancio rather than Sinisa and he liked Mancio’s project in Inter. Now we have Kondogbia, Brozovic, Medel, Hernanes and Kovacic in midfield. Please keep Kovacic!!!
Great signing and great jab at AC milan! Forza Inter!
Galliani: “If we don’t spend 75m on Kondogbia and Martinez, we can spend the money smarter in the rest of the transfer window”. Hahahahahaha, thats one way of saying we fucked up, nobody wants to sign for us.
Funny thing is the supporters on this site are even more “pathetic”. When the Ibra, Kondogbia and Martinez rumors were around, 80% of us were crying saying they are so much better than us, we can’t do anything we suck etc. All comments saying, just wait have patience nothing is confirmed was getting 0’upvotes and all comments stating that our management are incompetent were getting all the upvotes. We have 0 fate and we are extremly hypocriticial, that’s kinda embarrasing.
Maybe you, but I never said such things.
I made a general statement, learn what it means!
i said it before we will beat milan,., why!? mancini is the reason. he talk to shaqiri, and shaqiri came.. now he talk to kondogbia, and kondogbia came.. but you people always say shit about our coach.. mancini already gave us serie a and copa italia.. whatever the result, he deserve some respect for what he already gave us..
Funny… I don’t think I’ve read someone saying Bilan is better than us in this site…
rumour if we dont get kondogbia or lost him to milan mancini will resign. at the end everyone happy. good job.
Reality sucks for Bilan
Poor Galliani jajajajaj
hahahaha
I think ausillio did a great job. I feel they dont even sleep for this transaction . fassone too ,great job. I sad for the moment kova go to other club. I think again and i think the management do the right thing. We need overhaul all of our current squad. All with the more solid n bold squad. I cant wait our new pivot IMBULA N KONDO SURELY MAKE OTHER TEAM FEAR US WITH ICARDI IN FRONT! Are u all agree?
“I swear, if anyone still prefers him to Mancio…”
Same here Mehdi 😀
I am sure as hell he’ll be a complete monster in serie A, he’s like defensive yaya toure but only a 10 years old younger. Yaya Toure also started as a def.mid and developed by Mancini into monster as he is in more offensive role…
Just imagine kovavic-motta/melo-kondogbia next season. That gotta be the strongest midfield in serie A. PERFECTO!
Replace Melo with Medel please… we prefer anyone not Jube’s flop.
I’m not excited at all. He costed us too much and he will be paid too much. And he is not world class player. He may be flop like Shaqiri or Podolski and they are much bigger names than him. I’m big Inter fan and I’m very happy when Inter wins a game but with this mercato I feel we’ll have less wins next season. I don’t have any hope for EL.
40 million transfer and 5M wage per year!!!!!!!!
It’s normal for Manchester City or Real Madrid to buy average player in these numbers but Inter needs to be back where belongs. I don’t understand.
We take care of FFP then what we do?
Thohir made a bold move to make a bold Inter.
Did you even read the article when you wrote down the price + wages?
True. I didn’t read the article but I remembered this:
http://football-italia.net/68064/kondogbia-inter-over-%E2%82%AC40m
40m was what milan offer.. we offer less because the player already want to play for mancini.. please read the article before make a comment.. 🙂
You should first before you comment:
“Milan had been prepared to pay €35m for the 22-year-old, but Inter seem to have reached €40m plus performance-related bonuses.”
“Inter and Monaco reached agreement at €30 million with €8-€9 million in bonuses within easy reach. Monaco will also receive 10% of any future resale of the player from Inter. The player’s contract is €3.8 million per season plus performance bonuses.
It has been revealed that Milan offered more money, both to club and player; €40 million for the player to be paid in two installments, and €4.2 million net per season plus bonuses in salary for Geoffrey.”
Are u idiot! Its just a 30 millions with bonus
True. I didn’t read the article but I remembered this:
http://football-italia.net/68064/kondogbia-inter-over-%E2%82%AC40m
And don’t call “idiot” an Inter fan. 😀
Some people are really hard to please. I believe this move is one in the right direction. Inter’s biggest problem last season was our defence and the holding midfielders. We missed a Cambiasso like player badly, so we now bought one for 30 mil who is only 22 yrs old and you all are complaining. wow
You’re right in a way but got some stuff wrong….nobody signed for inter since RM came is a flop…podolski had a tough time yes but regardless we didn’t sign him on perm deal it was just a loan…shaqiri has had fitness problems since even at bayern and this transitional period to serie a is anything but easy for some players who are not physically acquainted with attributes that would facilitie their playing style and settling in the league so give shaqiri this season then you can judge.Kondogbia isn’t far off from the wages we pay Vidic and where as Kondogbia is going on an incline Vidic is well past his prime and in his twilight.I know your frustration as an Inter fan and the chances we are taking to bring inter back to where it belongs but this is surely a step in the right direction. Just need a couple full backs and we should be set for a top 5 finish next season. Forza inter!!
Tell that to the Juventus and Arsenal midfield they were struggling against his physicality. He was a monster in midfield this whole season, contributing to Monaco beeing the team who conceeded the least amount of goals in group stages in CL and the least amount of goals in Ligue 1. The French league are also having a positive period with improvement just like Serie A, it’s not a bad League by any sence of the word.
Good decision by Kondogbia. Off course as an Interista I am a bit biased, but I honestly feel that we have a better project to offer. We have a coach with multiple big clubs experience, both domestic and in Europe. ACM have a new coach that although well known by Interisti, is pretty much a fresh face with no real achievements. Inter are a few years ahead in reconstruction whereas ACM are still in shambles. Looking forward to seeing Kondogbia in black and blue..
Thats just brilliant 🙂
I really like to the author’s note ! Mancio was the best choice
Behrami!!! LOL
Zuniga!!
Lavezzi saga for the next 2 months
