I think I know what’s really going on here by putting the pieces together.
Nico Gonzalez is a target for Atalanta as was Oreilly. I think Juventus is showing interest on those for that reason although it could also mean that there could be genuine interest in Nico.
Mckennie is liked by...
Whatever happens, Giuntoli needs to get cracking because if Chiesa, Milik, Kostic and many others are frozen out of the squad, we need reinforcements quick as the league starts in around 2.5 weeks. Our attack in particular looks too light
That is always the hardest part unfortunately. We agreed personal terms with Calafiori, Sancho and many others.

What I can't wrap my head around is what our transfer budget is.
There was a good piece in Corriere Dello Sport which basically concluded that our net spend so far is...
A lot of people here don’t like him which is fair enough.
However his stats are very good. I know it was a friendly but I saw his goal on the counter…. He must be the quickest footballer I have ever seen…. He easily overtook the defender when he was way behind.
Chiesa needs a reality check. He gets paid 5m net or 9.25m gross. A lot of world class wingers in the premier league, La Liga etc are much better and get paid way less. To think he wants a pay rise after he is less of a player after his injury is ridiculous.
He will struggle to get more...
I think if Chiesa was willing to accept a lower salary and renew it would be different. Motta could work with him but didn’t want to promise he will always be a starter. At least that is my speculation.
At the same time, I don’t think Chiesa will earn elsewhere what we offered him previously...
Thanks for posting. So far we have therefore spent 0 in net terms and saved 10m euro in gross salary. Koop, Todibo and a winger will need to be offset by Chiesa, McKennie, Kostic, and Milik etc
