Just a short while ago the envelopes for last co-ownerships in Italian football were opened to decide where the players would end up. For Inter there was the co-ownership of Marco Benassi with Torino to be decided and at the end of it the midfielder born 1994 became fully owned by the team from Turin. Inter had made a bid of 2,8 million euro’s, Torino 3,5 million. The payment of 3,5 million for the remaining half of the player’s rights will have to be paid June 30th at the latest.

Inter fans are the worst I say. This guy plays in the same position as Kovacic, so you would rather sell Kovacic and keep this guy. There is no space on the present inter team for Benassi, so the best thing was to sell him. We got two 22 yr old players in our midfield along with Kovacic, where and when the hell would Benassi get a game plus we are only in two competitions this year.
he played one good games with the u-21 and because of that people started crying? LOL
exhale… the same old story, hopefully not another pirlo or carlos again
we need the money.. simple,,
It’s ridiculous
It hurts, but we can’t waste his talent. It’s the best for him.
We also still have Crisetig, who I believe is going to be better than Marco 🙂
Having trouble getting my head round this….Didn’t Torino offer us 1.5 mil for our half of his card? To which we declined due to not being enough? Who does the 3.5 mil go to??
Us.
Well then why didn’t Torino just offer us that in the first place!? 7 mil sounds about fair for him and the article I read said we were pushing for about 3mil anyway. Would’ve saved all this hassle and Torino would’ve saved half mil??
We are in dilema situation because we have so much talent and potential youngters in his position.. Wish him the best in his future career
we offer 2.9 mln , they offer 3.3mln …..pfff shitttt…
puskas will join sassuolo on permanent basis, inter will keep right to buy back or future sale percent-still negotionable…
the thing that bug me the most in benassi deal is that if we qualifie for europe next year we will need home-grown and national grown players then what?? we will buy him for 10mln or more next year???
Expect Biarin or Obi will come back to us
Yet another mistreated young talents by Inter.
Huge mistake by Inter! We loose the only few italian talents we got so freakin cheaply.
Good. He would never succeed in Inter. In my opinion he is not Inter material. Its good to have 3.5 mil for half of him. Its a shame that we give another half for dead tree DAmbrosio!
Seriously? Benassi is the star of Italy U-21 and he showed enormous talents as the heir of Pirlo. I’m afraid we would regret the decision of selling Benassi just like what we did with Roberto Carlos, Bergkamp, Pirlo, Seedorf, and coutinho.
We cannot keep all the talent in inter bro.. We still have huge amount of mf in our squad.. And inter will never stop produce talent.. Wi still have gnoukori even crisetig still own by inter..
AGREE… looking at our midfield now, there will be no space.
if we keep him, don’t make room for him, we will treated this youngster wrongfully bad. It’s best we make money out of him now, rather than nothing in the future.
…
a mistake by inter
Shame 🙁 But our central midfield is pretty packed i suppose. Still…we could have tried using him as a bargaining chip for Glik/Darmian
too bad
Any buy back clause?
no…its a silent auction via envelopes to decide who will fully own him…we lost so now he is fully torino player.
I’m really not happy with this. I’ve got the feeling he’s gonna do an amazing season this year.
Could be so, those silent auctions are risky when young players are involved. You could end up with players you did not plan to get or get players for an overprice, as well as the opposites. And it is obviously easy to say that this and that player would had been a steal for us to buy X amount of years ago. And now that player has developed to a class player, yes it would have been cheaper but perhaps the players development would have been different if we did get him.
Kondogbia were in Sevilla when the first speculations about him joining Inter once started, let’s say we got him 2013 with Mazzarri just taken over the club. Would he have gotten to play as regularly and develop in the same or even better ways than in Monaco? I am not so sure. 🙂
I completely understand your point @hasse77, and completely agree with you. Sometimes you gotta trust your gut, and this kid seems to be developing formidable since early years with the Primavera and 1 st squad in friendly matches. I really wished we had a buy back clause on him.
Who do you think of Benassi or Crisetig has the biggest chance becoming a class midfielder?
I find myself unsure how Inter can integrate the young players from academy with the starting eleven of the team, as we have not witnessed it for a long time. Even with Balotelli and Santon, they were not starting regularly in the league matches. We see many of our talented young players either being loaned out and playing for teams where they are developing quite slow or nothing at all, or selling them in either normal transfers or part ownership deals. With the current midfield of Kondogbia, Medel, Kovacic, Guarin, Hernanes, Obi, & Brozovic (even if 2-4 of them might be leaving and 1-2 new ones might be purchased), players like Gnoukouri, Benassi, Crisetig & many more young midfielders in Inter have a hard challenge they got to take on.
I think the first step that Inter has to do and from what I can see are trying to do under Mancini and Tohir, is getting a competitive squad to try to qualify to the CL as soon as possible. That would put the club in a more stable financial status, give Mancini the opportunity in risking a couple of points some games trying to integrate the youngsters more than already done. Yes he has already this season let some players play their first game for the first team ever, but to actually have our homegrown players actually being a crucial part of the first eleven, they have to been given the chance to play more regularly.
Very well written @hasse77. It’s hard to find people around with professional judgment and a good background. Regarding your question, I’m a fan of Crisetig gameplay style, and I see him developing good. However, the fact that Benassi really impressed in a team like Torino that played European competitions as well, really made me take him in consideration. You’re right about not having any space in the current squad, and therefore the need of getting loose some players. But I would have liked a buy back clause. I really have faith in Crisetig, let see if he can return what is expected of him…
I know how the resolvement goes, but Juventus managed to somehow get a buyback clause on Berardi after Sassuolo bought him.
they never wait for the envelope..they resolve the situation in last hours before times run out.. so its an agreement between clubs there while we couldnt find an agreement with torino. thats why we went for that envelopes…
I wish we could take him now that sassuolo has full ownership regardless of that buy back clause. He’s a very talented player who can help us on the wings, and truly interista
