Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli has expressly asked the club to sign Inter’s Chilean midfield terrier Gary Medel, El Decano Deportivo reports.
According to the report, Sevilla have made an offer of €8 million to lure Medel from Inter but the Nerazzurri have deemed the offer to low and are asking for €12 million. However, despite having their offer declined, El Decano reports that Sevilla are positive that they will be able to conclude the transfer before the transfer window closes on Wednesday August 31st.
Should that occur, Medel will be reunited with former Chilean national team coach Sampoali, with whom he won the Copa America in 2015 on home turf,

breaking news: nagaclown wont play tomorrow due to a minor injury
There are few new rumours also regarding the transfer…Sporting wants 40 mil now, and Gabigol might play in Brazil until December..not good for us.
So without Naga, Erkin and Ansaldi, who will play there? Does Di Marco still with us?
So it might be: Handa-Santon-M24-M25-DD-Kondog-Medel-Banega-Perisic-MI9-Candreva.
hm, latest rumours were he won’t go back to Brazil… this is stupid, i hope we will only pay the 25m in January then… theres other positions to spend that 25m on in the next few days
as for Mario, if the deal wasnt done why the hell did they allow him to come for medical? that doesnt make sense
keep medel
straight swap brozo for cuadrado
bring in caceres as well
then our FBs are good to go
I cry sometimes as inter go after the name rather the quality, look at medel melo kondogbia and look at Duncan know bennessi shit. I hope gnukouri gets the chance because diawara is not better then him and he’s making name for himself. I don’t think we study the player before we buy.
he’s 29 and a rather clumsy DM, he clearly wont be our cash cow… altho 8 is low, but thats how you start negotiating…
sevilla is small realistic club…they wouldn’t never pay 30m for any player…they buy player only for real price…so if they buy franco vasquez for 14m (i think), 8m for medel is real (ok, maye 10)…so for us if we want to sell medel, bet send him to looserpool, they will pay 15 or more…
sevilla is small realistic club..____ which statistics is

Daddys dick is not that small, but fits in your ass perfectly
uefa cup is for small clubs 🙁
aren’t we there now , of course with big hopes for the future ?
I know that, but if we must sell Brozovic, than we must sign another central midfielder like Stambouli or Rabiot. And for the defence Caceres is a must!
Dont’t sell him for any sum of money. He might not be our best midfielder, but he i
a workoholic and agressive. Great CB and an fearly good DM. Also, we shouldn’t sell Brozovic because we don’t have depth in midfield. My inter squad for this season:
Handanovic/Carrizo
Miranda/Caceres Murillo/Medel or Andreolli
CACERES/ Santon Ansaldi/(Nagatomo)
Kondogbia/Medel
Joao Mario/Brozovic Banega/(/)
Candreva/Eder Perisic/Eder or Palacio
Icardi/Gabigol
Nah, if we can get proper replacement for him it would be good deal..
Sadly that is impossible for us right now
sorry Sevilla…8 mil only for his shoe
i would kill somebody if we sold medel!!! he can be our sub CB…. rather than ranocchia!!!! please be smart and not sell him !! we need him
We only have him and Melo to cover our DM pos. Why?
They can add 10 millions more to start negotiating
hello, …. it’s inter !
they will use him as a central back/ his most natural position – he should stay of course
Tell you what in that case and for our defense line security we would sell them Ranocchia for the 8 millions, seriously if I have Thohir authority I would do it out of madness after Chievo match.
NO!
How come they cant get rid of Melo but they can sell our good players
Really dont wanna see him go….one of few best players in Inter
FDB please use him in CB position ….you will get a beast in front of Handa side by side with M,M
this. use him as a cb/ do not use ranocchia, i repeat do not use ranocchia
yeah exactly , he’s no Xabi Alonso but at least he can get his job done
I don’t know why everyone is so eager to get rid of Medel… he definitely not our star player.. but he is a very useful one and he still have role to play.. oh and I would prefer him a 100 times over Rano in CB
Sell Melo and Crapnocchia first. That baldy MMA fighter is not needed anymore.
I would prefer to see Medel as a CB instead of that giraffe. So yes, the giraffe must go first.
but i’m sure no is ready to buy him or pay him except well Mancio maybe !??!
Giraffe? thats a big complement, really big… i saw him as a FROG and only FROG nonetheless LOL
Frog? I think that’s a compliment since frogs know how to jump. He isn’t even a traffic cone. He is something so mUcha worse.
Rano is tall = a Giraffe. Giraffe can’t play football. Yup that’s our beloved Crapnocchia LOL
if medel is not our player right now, we will try desperately to sign him even with 35m. everything will look stupid and cheap if it fail to deliver every expectation. everyone look gabigol and joao mario like they see Neymar and fabregas. WTF they just same level as our player. too win the race you need better engine not just changing tire over n over with the same class n quality. its easy to praise and hype for another player, because everything become so special when its not yours.
for ex: Kdog for kovacic, Candreva for Ljajic, erkin for naga/santon/ambro, and more.
How can you guys be so bandwagon people here? This site’s users: “oh i love icardi i love kovacic i love brozovic, i hate dambrosio i hate nagatomo”. Medel has been the best and most iconic player of inter for two years. He made chile won 2 cups. Can not believe seeing people whom are okay for 10-15 million euro sale on him. We should make him more popular, he only lacks marketing. The most underrated player of all time- Gary Medel.
read the post from SebIngrosso below. Hes got excellent points.
Thanks for an intelligent response. However, after seeing medel in world cup as cb of chile and getting aerial balls from pique the giant, i believe that medel has been used wrong by the tacticians. Because he played great under 2 different coaches in 3 tournaments
did you read his post or what? “if he wont be used as a backup-CB, its better to let go of him for 12-15m. in 2016 you cant have such a one-dimensional player in the middle of the pitch – and its not like he’s that effective as a DM in terms of tackling or interceptions (he gets dribbled past pretty often, last season he ended up 39th in tackles, 24th in interceptions among Serie A midfielders with 20+ appearances)
but on the other hand -beside Mario and Barbosa- we still need 1 more CB, FB and midfielder (DM, CM, AMC, you name it), selling Medel would make the next few days even more chaotic”
if you put medel against mandzukic or similar high and strong players he will get raped every time. also, wasn’t he used in a 3-man defense in the chile team?
if he wont be used as a backup-CB, its better to let go of him for 12-15m. in 2016 you cant have such a one-dimensional player in the middle of the pitch – and its not like he’s that effective as a DM in terms of tackling or interceptions (he gets dribbled past pretty often, last season he ended up 39th in tackles, 24th in interceptions among Serie A midfielders with 20+ appearances)
they offered 8 mill right…. what did he cost inter ? probably on free transfer…….that’s 8 mill profit…….you can’t go wrong with that !!
paid 8-9m to Cardiff City
10m
let me get this straight…..inter paid 10 mill for medel ?
Only sell him if FDB refuses to use him as a CB. And of course no cheaper than 15m!
nope.
If any of you guys haven’t noticed it already, Sevilla scouting method is one of the best there is. It definitely mean something if they truly are chasing after Medel.
or maybe its because he was a Sevilla player before and Sampaoli was his coach at Chile national team
i see him being used as a CB in La Liga any day over Serie A
Yup there’s that too. Still… these last couple of years their (Sevilla) player transfer policy has been absolutely brilliant. I really hope someone would break rano’s gangly legs, so that we could finally see Medel as CB.
i think he wasnt used as a CB more than 3 times in the past 2 seasons, so… there has to be something to that
he’s been a solid back for Chile in the past years, but we cant compare 5-6-7 game tournaments to 40+ game club seasons
there were rumours of Sevilla wanting him ever since Sampaoli was appointed, could have used him for Krychowiak, smh – if, and thats a big if, Krychowiak were up to join us
You mean they’ll likely play him as a backup for N’Zonzi. Krychowiak is a PSG player now.
no, i mean we should have tried to go for Krychowiak and include medel in that deal 😀 there were rumours about Sevilla-medel in june already
Aw sorry, misread that. Blame work. 🙂
we should have tried to sign Krychowiak, when he was worth 7M, not 27M…
tell that to our scouts. lately we only notice players when theres already hype around them…
yeah, we underestimate players from french or dutch league, many gems for a reasonable price, but we went for a guy from Portugal…
yep, those leagues are definetly the best examples – not going for Aubameyang but signing Belfodil still hurts (i think Auba was 13m, Belfodil 8?)
ps: not to mention, speaking of Krychowiak, if he came to us he probably wouldnt became the player he is now, because after 2 bad games he would have found himself on the bench 😀
I don’t know, but Auba was cheap.. now everyone wants him. Belfodil, where he is now, Emirates? Qatar?
Somewhere in the Persian Gulf, methinks..
Portugal n turkey
nah, you’re incorrect
He’s very useful CB in Chile, also Mancini played him more than 3 times. Far more reliable than Rano, at least for me who watched in on a screen.
I can’t understand how hard it was to play him as CB, not even give him a try.
How many times we have to say, Branca no longer works here, we don’t sell starters for 8M!
Branca may no longer be here but it’s Ausilio that says “you are a bench defender right ? you get 2.4 mill a season! you were a Man U legend? you get 2.9 mill a season to ride the bench….you are a bench midfielder specifically requested by mancini so you get 3.5 mill a season……you are a bench striker specifically requested by mancini? you get 3.5 mill a season……”
Can’t remember Ausilio say anything like that.. But he have made a grate job to provide the trainers requests. Show me the side Ausilio was talking in when you found your little quot!
Hello sir, since youre juve fans, i wanna ask your honest opinion bout ceceres?n the reason you release him.
Not a juve fan. Guys like this are self hating inter fans. Why else would he spend all his time on inter message boards reading news pertinent to our team and commenting all over the place. As for caceres they allowed his contract to run up due to his injury and the fact that they have a good young defender in rugani and they were able to buy benatia. Since the BBC is so good together it’s hard for caceres to displace one. He is a good fb also but only in a 4 back and as a more defensive option. I say all this because I love inter more than anything but I love serie a a ton and have been watching almost every game for the past 5 years (since I got the amazing soccer package lol I’ve been watching serie a on rai international for 27 years)
i am not a fan of poorly run soccer teams and inter is one of the most dysfunctional teams ever ! like it’s my fault inter has done nothing in the last 5 years……after 15 years inter still hasn’t learned that it takes one bad defender like for example, Gresko, that can lose a scudetto to juventus !
I know that, i just wanna see from different point of view. I have few things that makes me doubt bout this move such as match fitnes, injury record, n his mental aspect off the pitch, im just afraid he’ll disrupt our dresing room
he’s not a sir either. he’s a no good piece of shit
Okey, im sorry for calling him sir 🙂
well, if you remember in 2009 he was on loan with us with the option to buy but go injured but went back to spain then juve brought him back so he is always injured. he’s a good player, much better FB than a CB but can play both positions. he’s a heavy drinker – had 2 car accidents and one was a DUI. when you drink heavily and you are injury prone it just gets worse when you get older. only advantage is he’s free ……but so was vidic and melo and look how that ended? why not get andreolli back ?
Yeah, inter already have andreolli but some of my friend doubt he can perform well after injured. But ceceres have injury record to, even its worst than andreoli. ceceres like never complete a season without injury. Okey we can get him for free but im afraid he can disrupt the team with his attitude off the pitch.
his drinking is a problem…….and as an inter fan you must remember adriano and how his drinking destroyed his career
Right, obviously not type of player that needed by a team who start build foundation, like my team. Dont too comfort up there cause we’ll coming, very soon.
i was going to throw you a pick axe but i’m afraid you may use it to dig deeper down instead of climbing out of the hole…….
Do not sell Medel for that cheap. He is a good player for his position, albeit a bit limited. Only sell for 15 million plus.
I agree mate! He just won the copa America in this summer so I think 8 mill is for Rano or lower. 15 million is good for him but I’d say 20 million is more appropriate. Have you seen Zaza’s price? Plus: Medel is one of my favorite midfielder. Hard work and never have excuses when we lost
12 mil sounds about right, invest it in defence.
It would be if it wasn’t so late in the transfer market and if the season didn’t start… Who is available to buy right now for around 12mil on defense? I agree we need a FB but to get the right person now would be hard to do.
I don’t know who is available, that is the job for the management.. I could only guess.
12 mil can go a long way with loans with option/obligation to buy.
We must be too stupid to sell him.
Well need 2 more CB and another MF if he goes. Instead of just 1 CB.
Also if we sell Brozovic then I think we’ll need 3 MF if Medel goes also. Cause Melo is useless.
NO.
We would need to get a lot of defensive cover (probably a CB and a FB) before the end of the transfer window for this to be a good idea. Even then, I wouldn’t do it, as we need the depth at mid when Banega/Joao/Kdog are out of the game. Plus, even €12m isn’t enough to compensate for what he’s worth to us.
So yeah… no.
LMAO €8m go fuck yourself.
Medel is out best defensive mildfielder. If we sell him we better replace him with another DM, good chance to get a regista.
