    So why are we selling Hakimi for so cheap? I know the marker is down but it sounds like the payments will be split over the next 3 years, so no huge lump sum upfront. I don’t get it, seems like we could’ve held out a bit for more.

    This is what hurts me. I like the player but i think that he is a bit overrated, especially on this board, but he's still young and could have progressed so much in the next couple of years with us.

    Ridiculously low price tag for one of the biggest RB/RWB talents.

    Where is the Inter CEO quote coming from? I can't find it anywhere. Goal had an article about it but they quickly deleted it.

    Hakimi has two more seasons left on his contract. If he's this adamant about playing, I could see him leaving on his last contract year for next to nothing. I think this is what played the biggest part of it. The club probably tried to get him to extend his contract and he possibly balked wanting assurances first.

    I don't think 50 mil. is cheap for a fullback.

    It's lower than his Transfermarkt value, which is usually lower than realistic values.

    TM also has him as the second most expensive RB in the world. TAA is first and Dani is third.

    I think we should have asked for more or tell them to insert a buy back clause otherwise ******** off like they did with Lautaro to Barcelona

    Transfermarkt values are curated by the members of the site, that are located in Germany. Most of the times the players in Germany are valued higher than their market value, Werner was valued at +10 mil. Euro than he actually ended up being worth.

    Most of the transfers that I followed went for approx 10%-20% higher than the players value on TM.

    40M is a good price, but we could have gotten more with both Bayern and especially City interested in Hakimi. Not a bad price at all, he's just worth more imo.

    Bayern said they will not be making any big investments due to losses from the virus. They are currently more interesting in selling than buying.

    Whoever expected big money transfers to happen this summer is being ridiculous.

    Also forget about us selling to Inter, i'm shocked he wants to join Inter. A club that is basically trying to "compete". I would have thought he'd have chosen a winning situation. Inter is such a boring sidways step for his career from Dortmund.

    It's absolutely a Conte influence signing.

    In this economic climate the reported figures actually are pretty decent for a FB; specifically because we aren't attempting a shady deal like barca-juve.

    The issue is with Achraf defensive struggles is he really a FB?

    Now of we reevaluate him as a RW onstead of a RB...

    I can’t imagine it’s anything else. Unless literally no other club was interested or wouldn’t put up the same few Inter have.

    Selling an academy product who has actually reached a pretty high level and is still young just hurts. I know we’ll figure something out but for now I’m just gonna sulk a bit.

    I'm sure that's correct as that is a lot of money for that club especially in this climate. My point is Conte doesn't exactly have the best record with this sort of thing.

    Personally I would have liked Hakimi to return, he would have made a good option as a RW or RB to rotate with Dani.

    I mean, if there's any team with a realistic chance at winning the league over Juventus in the next few years, Inter is about it. Not unless Napoli sees a real bounceback next season. Inter's on an 83-point pace right now for this season and that's really nothing to sneeze at. For reference, Dortmund was on a 77-point pace in a 38-game season, though obviously this isn't a perfect comparison since Dortmund obviously took their foot off the gas pedal once Bayern clinched the league title. Inter also squared off against them pretty well during the Champions League.

    So I would say Inter is probably around Dortmund's level with a better chance at improving from where they're at.

    This is what hurts the most. I honestly dont think we are missing out on a generational talent here. The fee is about what we paid for Mendy, so for once we are selling for as much as we buy for, a massive achievement lol. I dont get why he is going to Inter, he can probably get more money and join a more competitive team than them, and he can also grow more under a coach that plays him as a FB.

    I dont think we need a 50M player to be Carvajal's backup.
