Kovacic played in real's last game and there is no sign of zidane wanting to get rid of him. Additionally they havent brought a bench role replacement.
Also, let's be real here, if this news is actually legitimate: Turin isn't Milan or Rome. You don't just buy a house in Turin for fun - unless you're a ski enthusiast and I don't see that being James. If you told me someone was buying a house in Barcelona, I'd say, he probably just wants a house there. If you're looking for a house in Turin, or Manchester, or Liverpool, you are moving with a purpose.
Then you go back at Beppe saying earlier we'd talk with Madrid for Morata AND other players....then later Beppe saying he was gonna buy Higuain even if he didn't sell Pogba....
but I still find it hard to believe.
Matuidi seems close, we met with Raiola this morning and PSG later...Cuadrado wants to come here...The only way I'd see it is loan + option if Cuads don't come.
