We don't have to meet their demands. Just offer 8 million € for Criscito and see if theirs will be any better.
as for Palladino, i would offer 1 $.
That can't be done before July or later. Blind bids follow only after the teams fail to find a mutual understanding.
I guess you're scared that our directors will fuck it up (with some direct swap) and you prefer not to discuss anything at all and just wait for the blind bids. I feel you there.
But unfortunately it's not how it goes. The player and his preferences will also play a role in the discussions.
Also, when it comes to blind bids between a big team and a smaller team, you can't exclude the possibility a third party (big team) to interfere. Inter are in good terms with Genoa. They can (indirectly, of course) make the blind bid for Genoa and Genoa can offer, say, 8.5m eur for Criscito with Inter's money and Inter will then "buy" Criscito from Genoa.
I'm not saying that Inter will do that or that they're interested in Criscito, but I'm telling you all the possibilities that can pop out once it comes to blind biding.
That's why it's better to find a mutual language with Genoa before it comes to those blind bids.
