Inter is trying to complete a season that could become special, but in the meantime, you’re dealing with … accounts. And there is (at least) one of Marotta’s jewels that could leave

It is not an easy time for Inter off the field. If on the pitch Simone Inzaghi’s team is fully in the running for the Scudetto and has reached the Champions League round of 16 without too much difficulty, off the green rectangle the financial situation remains delicate.
The club must find an economic stability that is not easy to achieve and may be forced to make a major sacrifice in the near future. Without going into the details of issues related to past management, the picture is clear: it will be crucial for Giuseppe Marotta to do some financial acrobatics to keep the accounts in order and secure fresh resources.
A sacrifice, then, seems inevitable to allow the club to continue to grow and provide an adequate budget for the upcoming summer market, whether the coach remains Simone Inzaghi or the club chooses to rely on a new coach.
There is no shortage of players in the Nerazzurri squad who could attract the interest of European big names. There are at least five highly valuable elements capable of generating significant revenue if they are sold.

Nicolò Barella, the beating heart of the midfield, has a market valuation of around 60 million euros, as do Federico Dimarco, another Nerazzurri symbol, and Alessandro Bastoni, a left-footed defender who is highly valued abroad. Even Marcus Thuram, who arrived on a zero-parameter basis two years ago, has already seen his value skyrocket above 50 million.
Lastly, there is Hakan Çalhanoglu, whose player card could bring close to 30-40 million euros into the club’s coffers, thanks to his solid performances and experience. But the real crown jewel remains one: Lautaro Martinez, the captain, the player who most of all could guarantee a huge capital gain.
Inter, l’Arsenal su Lautaro Martinez: sacrificio inevitabile?
Among the Nerazzurri bigwigs, Lautaro Martinez’s name is the one that could concretely move a record-breaking deal. A captain and symbol of Inter Milan, Toro recently renewed his contract with the club, but this has not quelled market rumors. Several Premier League teams are monitoring the situation, and Arsenal seems to be the club most interested in bringing Lautaro to London.
The problem, for the Gunners, is the cost of the price tag: Inter is not willing to sit at the negotiating table for less than 100 million euros. A very high figure, but one that could represent a strategic solution for the Nerazzurri club. With such a sum, in fact, Marotta would have the chance to restore part of the accounts and at the same time invest in reinforcements to build a competitive squad in the future as well.

Lautaro’s sale would undoubtedly be painful for Inter, both on a technical and emotional level, but it may be the only way to avoid multiple sacrifices and preserve much of the team’s core.
If Lautaro is not the sacrifice, Marotta will have to consider other options. Barella, Bastoni, and Dimarco have many admirers, but their sale could be less advantageous than the one to Toro, considering the technical value they represent to the club and the impact their departure would have on the team.
The idea, however, is clear: one of the jewels of the Nerazzurri’s roster will have to pack his bags to allow Inter to breathe and look to the future with greater serenity. Lautaro is the most in demand and the most valuable. It remains to be seen whether someone will have the economic strength to wrest the captain from Inter and whether the club will be willing to give up its leader.
