I dont know how our scouting department works. We cant find gems like Kvara so we overpay for has-beens and fringe players

kvara's agent said that they had an agreement with paratici but when he left the whole deal collapsed. then came napoli
we can actually find those young and talented guys. once paratici was the guest of a polish show co-hosted by tek and he talked a bit about our process. the club is constantly watching hundreds of talents in all age groups. we were linked with haaland, gabriel jesus, julian alvarez (etc) but those deals rarely materialize somehow. the obsession with winning isn't helping too much, cheap, young and inexperienced players coming from lesser leagues rarely turn into beasts once they arrive to italy.
luck also plays a part. kvara was ovbiously talented, anyone who watched him knew instantly that he had speed, dribbles and a good touch, but nobody could have predicted that he'd be this good. some similar gambles like demme, elmas, ounas or malcuit didn't really work, lozano still couldn't manage to find any consistency despite having a few brilliant games here and there, on the other hand osimhen, anguissa, zielinski, kim and of course kvara are pretty good signings, and so was fabian too.
that's why i'd love to have luis campos. his track record speaks for itself. monaco and lille were built (and monaco also re-built) from the ground up, with a relatively modest budget. he's not a guarantee either but i'd give it a shot if he was available.
