Lukaku is flirting with Juventus again

Lukaku: "In the past, when I was at
West Bromwich, I was a step away
from joining Juventus."

Lukaku: "But Raiola has told me that
I should continue to play more
regularly. I'm an ambitious player."

Lukaku: "I want to win trophies, like all
other players assisted by Mino, as Pogba
& Ibrahimovic."

My gut feeling here is the following is highly likely to occur:

1) Morata stays with buy back option postponed by 1 year.
2) Kovacic is a 1 year loan with option to buy.
3) Pjanic, Gomes or Mascherano will not arrive. Could be something from left field - potentially a last minute mercato signing.
4) 2 of Hernanes, Pereyra and Asamoah will leave
5) Black Jesus goes to another club.
6) Alves and Berardi join with Cuadrado & Caceres out.

My guess is Gomes goes to Man United, Mascherano stays at Barca while Barca buys Pjanic by paying buy out.
I don't see that happening because of the situation Real is in at the moment. They need to finalize their team this summer because of the upcoming transfer ban and if they were to sign Morata next summer it's very likely that they wouldn't be able to register him. Morata is not going to sit on the sidelines waiting for 6 months at this point of his career.

Yep.They can sign him and sell him to epl or psg but cant register him to the Madrid squad.
:tup: just as I thought. So they can still sign him and sell him on to another team.

Anyway, from what Zidane said recently, and from Alvaro's words, it seems to me that he wants to stay and I can see him here for at least one more season.

Kovacic is a classic Marotta opportunistic transfer - loan with option to buy. I don't see us fitting the cash up front. If we assume this deal goes ahead we know that Hernanes could go to China for 8-10m, while Asamoah and Pereyra could fetch us some cash (thinking 10 and 15 respectively). This should give us some fire power for that elusive midfielder that would be a starter for us.
Hernanes 10 m to China is practically sealed

I have to say this is the most accurate guess of what will actually happen.
Point 1 though, might be a problem. I said 20% chances to stay a few weeks ago, at some point went close to zero, now I'd say 25% because of the pression from his girlfriend to stay.
I would add: Licht out and Lirola to join first team; Benatia loan+option to buy.
Neto out, Mirante in and possibly Marrone back.

he is neither meat nor fish.
HE is 100% flop c'mon!
Without Marchisio and Khedira we need READY PLAYERS not some unproven and not good whatever position he play at.

Let me ask what's his role in the field?

His role is midfielder. He can play in any role in the midfield. Good dribbler/running at players, good play making skills. He is eclectic as phuck.
