CalcioMercato.com reveals that Inter have decided to sell French midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia before making an attempt to sign Wolfsburg’s Brazilian midfielder Luiz Gustavo.
According to the report Inter are adamant not to go into the red in the books so the Nerazzurri are open to allowing the player to leave on a loan with option to buy basis in January. If Kondogbia were to be sold in June, the minum fee Inter are asking for is €25 million, but should he be loaned out for 18 months the clause to make the deal permanent in June 2018 will be set at around €16-17 million.
Calciomercato.com report further that Luiz Gustavo is seen as the ideal replacement for the Frenchman both tactically and financially. The Brazilian midfielder’s contract is set to expire in June 2018 and accordint to the report, Wolfsburg have given Inter an indication that they are prepared to accept a loan offer with an opton to make the deal permanent.

Stupid. If we want to upgrade the squad, then we should replace him with someone much better and has more potential than Kondogbia, not someone may less better than him.
If this deal become true, then fuck you Ausilio.
inter has no knowledge how to exploit promising players !
there are many examples for it; couthino, carlos alberto, kova, shaqiri, kondo, …
If it were an outright sale and it meant we could bring Ricardo Rodriguez right now, I’d think about it. But I’d rather not give him up for what amounts to a loan swap for Gustavo.
Pure bullshit, specifically after his Lazio performance
what else? he played 3-4 good games in his 2 years at inter.
They said the same thing about Brozo.
no. brozovic has always showed promise. always. kondogbia is actually detrimental to our team. do you remember that time when he was subbed 28mins into a game because he caused 2 goals? and that time where he gave roma 2 1v1 chances? its different.
Brozovic has played like shit for the most part, playing without confidence and losing the ball way too often. He has stepped up his game under Pioli and Kondogbia seems keen on doing the same. I think he deserves a couple of games to see if he can settle in the new system.
Good idea. Hopefully we can sell this damsel in distress for at least 25million (though highly unlikely).
Two years ago, the idea of Luiz made me excited. If he is signed then we know what to expect. He is adaptable and capable but not worth busting the bank for.
Maybe Kondog has more to offer ..or not.. but there is potential in him. Luiz on the other hand has reach d the peak of his powers.
We get him for 40M……
