Inter manager Antonio Conte would rather Milan Skriniar be sold than Lautaro Martinez according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

Lautaro has been heavily linked with a potential move away to Barcelona ahead of the upcoming transfer window but Conte would prefer if Skriniar, who has been linked to Manchester City and Manchester United among other clubs lately, was sold instead.

Inter have grand ambitions for the transfer market and could achieve their ambitions, or at least be a helped a very long way to achieving them, by making a big sale.

The report from the Rome based news outlet explains that Conte would rather Skriniar be sold as he is more easily replaceable than Lautaro is. The Slovakian national team defender could seemingly leave the club if they receieve an offer of over €60 million, as per other reports doing the rounds in the media.

On top of wanting Skriniar sold over Lautaro, Conte would also like Barcelona’s Arturo Vidal signed to bolster the midfield but the Chilean won’t be signed should Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante, who has also been linked, arrive at the club.

If there's any truth to it, we should be all over it. Skriniar is world class CB and he's only 25.

 

A thread for this already exists, but yes I absolutely do agree

Sorry, I didn't notice. Hopefully mods will merge them.

Rumours heating up plus he’s been benched recently. 

Just have a sneaky feeling that Conte has that Rogue Trader feel about him since his last season with us and the apparent petulance followed by his acrimonious departure. How satisfying for him to take on a couple of our cast offs on the cheap (Moses, Emerson etc) and then get a stinking fee for a world class CB that breaks down injured straight away

Yes I have a feeling that Conte can get a great tune out of a good squad yet is less able at judging the right players to bring in.

Or not a great squad as he showed with us. Shoehorned Victor Moses into wingback and nearly won a double.

If we're talking Inter CBs, can we have Bastoni instead?
