Clarifying analysis approach

I shouldn’t claim real-time information is accurate. Instead, I can say, “If true, here's my analysis,” and maybe offer a quick scouting report, a fit analysis, or a source reliability check. Browsing the web shouldn't be necessary unless it’s really required. I want to keep things concise and focus on providing insights. So regarding Inter's fit, Bastoni is the current top left center-back, while Ake might provide overlapping options.Evaluating Ake's fit at Inter

Ake can play as either a left center-back or left back, providing depth alongside Bastoni, or covering for Dimarco if needed. Currently, the left center-back role belongs to Bastoni, with Pavard on the right and Acerbi or De Vrij in the center. Inter's finances are a consideration; at a proposed fee of 35M plus wages, Ake's earnings at City may exceed what Inter typically offers. Ake is Dutch and doesn’t pose a non-EU slot issue for Serie A. With two years left on his contract, the fee might be reasonable for a 29-year-old top-level defender.Analyzing Ake's value and alternatives

A 35M fee might seem low for Ake, especially since he’s a starter for City and they likely value him higher. If City considers squad depth and plans to buy a replacement, it could change things. However, they probably won’t sell mid-season. Given the date is December 2025, we should focus on alternatives that Inter could pursue at a lower cost. I can suggest options like Lloyd Kelly or Mario Hermoso. It’s best to ask the user what specific analysis they want regarding reliability, player fit, or finances.

• My quick evaluation: 35M feels borderline low for Ake, considering he's 29 with over two years left, so maybe it should be more in the 35M to 45M range.Evaluating Ake's potential transfer

City likely won’t let Ake go easily since they don’t need the cash, and he plays a key role, raising the difficulty of the deal. Regarding fit, he can cover left center-back or left back, which overlaps with Bastoni's position, but that could lead to rotation issues. His salary might be high, putting pressure on Inter's wage cap unless he lowers his demands. Also, Ake’s age and injury history could limit his resale value post-transfer.

I should ask the user if they want a detailed scout report, alternative evaluations, or a financial feasibility analysis. Also, it’s important to know the source of rumors — is it an English or Italian outlet?
