Transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Inter are feeling very confident about a positive outcome to the Joao Mario negotiations.
Di Marzio reports on his homepage that “There is optimism for Joao Mario: the Nerazzurri would like to close the deal as early as today. The optimism has grown thanks to the departures of Erkin and Jovetic: there are two open spaces in the squadlists, especially the Europa League one.”
Many sceptics have wondered how Inter will be able to complete this signing given the club’s finances. However Di Marzio reports that the deal wont violate UEFA’s rules stating that “the signing of the Portuguese is in line with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules: by the 30th of June, when the balances will have to be presented Inter counts on diverse sponsorships, income and sales to be fully within the imposed parameters.”

he will take seriea by storm perfect fit for serie a
Setyo Manches, Alex, JAY, Tsigalko, Binto Baggio, Eusebio, Stent-X, shola lubis, hokiM : You’re all confirmed doubters. I’m on the other side. Lets see what happens.
I love this club, although Im against buying joao mario excessive price, but if it’s a done deal and joao become inter player, then I will pray that joao mario can show his worth, and bring us to the top, amen
I didn’t mean it as questioning your commitment towards the club. I just meant to show that you all have either doubted his ability, or questioned the price we’re paying for it. I’m neither doubting his ability, nor even the price we’re paying.
Also, he’s exactly what Kondo needs. A physical beast, great in defence & driving the ball forward. Mario is great with his vision & passing, an area where Kondo is weak.
Give it this season & he’ll be right next to Kondo, forming the base of our midfield for many years.
Even thought I have not seen him play enough to really comment om him, my impression of him is very good. I believe that he is exactly the type of player we need if he will be able to work hard defensive wise as well.
– An intelligent, generally hardworking player with very good technical and passing abilities.
Lets hope we will finally succeed having a midfield who is able to take control and make the right decisions throughout the game..
Quaresma 2.0 my ass, suck it jerk
Please, stop publishing pictures of players who are not officialy Inter’s in that shirts. It’s misleading.
Okay, but i didnt make that pic, i am just sharing it
Welcome Joao
For you all that saying joao is average player or the next quaresma, you will see how good he is and thank the management for bringing him
Too soon to be confidence like that, mate.
He and Gabigol will need to adapt to Serie A for a while.
At least wait until the end of this season to evaluate them.
Yeah, i dont say he will make big impact instantly, i am just pissed of about every portugal players come to inter means quaresma 2.0
45 million euros price tag means a lot to us. Quite similar to Quaresma at that time. No one can guarantee Joao Mario will be a success at Serie A as he has never played outside Portuguese league. So better not to expect too much from him this year. I’m afraid you would get disappointed a lot if things went wrong. BTW, you don’t need to repeat your happiness three times in the same article. Just be cool, man. We all know you admire him so much.
He is good player, he is very good in euro, if you are not sure he will be good for us like me, it is okay,agree to disagree
He is excellent . At least far better than our players now. He worth compare to ours now
Andre gomes 60 m, renato 80 mil, joao mario already better and proven starting 11 of portugal, 40 mil+5 bonus everyone lose their mind
Imo bro if we look at or mids now with mario you will see a very physical group with some talent and that’s what the coach wants. As he has said he wants the team to fight and dominate and that’s where mario can be great along with Kondo and Medel.
Let’s see how reality works now, which player who valued cheaper but the quality can exceed their price tag ?
So little, bro. Either we need luck or damn good scouting team to find such players.
Transfer market these days is so crazy even a price for 16-years old kid can be slapped with 25 mil or higher.
But there is a little bright side from here, we have already done our darnest to lower his original price (from 60 mil -> 45 mil).
All we can do now is just be patience and look forward for their biggest contribution.
not everyone need to adapt snejder lighted up the league from the first minute
45 mil. worth to prove is not easy…Anything less than 5-6 goals and 7-8 assists is a flop.
Okay, so barca was stupid to bring andre gomes for 60 mil since he didnt make that many goals and assist, okay, i am the idiot here since looking the player not only because the goal and assist
Its not all about ass and goal, but we need creators and scorers from midfield position. Look at our realisation last 5 years. We are pathetic. Its not problem to concede 2 goals from Chievo if you can actually score 3+ goals.
You mean regista? Man, i am all in not bringing joao and gabigol if we buy good regista, 2 good fb, and 1 good cb, but our lack of goals last season because of our style of play,so what is your suggestion for the midfielder name who have that criteria?
Not regista, actually, but box-to -box capable of scoring. Better version of Brozovic. Why we didnt take Matuidi for example. Its said that he will join Juventus for 22 mil.+bonuses!! Thats a steal considering market values today.
My man, matuidi is old version of defensive pogba, he doesnt score that many goals, i dont believe media about ruben buy him that cheap since coman case, the only one fits your criteria is prime lampard and gerrard, and i believe we dont have that kind of player available for many years,
€22m + bonuses for a 29 year old, who makes €12m a year. Ya that’s a steal. Also Matuidi? He’s trash. Mario is a box-to-box player…
4.5 per year
Facchetti and Moratti arguing in a comments section on a website… what am I reading?
XD
At least he’s good in my FM save lol.
He is a good player indeed. But for €45 I hope he become more then a good player.
Of course, lets hope so
Stop looking at the price tag. It’s irrelevant. Like everything financially there is inflation and it’s finally caught up to football. Plus it’s not like Inter doesn’t have money. It’s the previous owners that trapped Inter into FFP. Suning is worth 10x more than both Moratti and ET combined. This season will bring in a LOT of money (domestic and foreign) to Inter and the FFP restrictions will either be removed completely or lightened a lot.
As fans of the Nerazzurri we need to focus on how the team performs, not the price tag of players. We don’t purchase them. We kind of pay their salaries though.
Forza Inter!
true he is awsome
