I think we it was either Demiral or Romero last year, with Demiral surely showing more potential than Romero did in 19/20, although he had that injury of course. If you asked my opinion a year ago I also gambled on Demiral.
This transfer didn’t aged well at all - let’s hope that Demiral shows his potential under Allegri.
Sad that we couldn’t keep both, but Romero would never be the Serie A best defender if he played with us this year. Him playing in a defense of 3 at Genoa and Atalanta made things a lot easier, while he’d be struggle like everyone else at Juventus. Without the clause we could easily ask 40/45m tho, so even if you take the covid arguments in consideration it still remains a horrible transfer. To bad Tici, nice scouted though.
