TBH Diawara seems to have a lot of foreign interest, I'm reading about €15m-€18m figures already, English sides and Bayern are interested. It's one thing being the big dog in our league but we can't lock every talent down. Chelsea or whoever can pay €18m several times for players and send him on loan but we can't.
We were linked with him until the move to Bologna was completed and there were reports we were involved in the deal. Same as what happened with Sensi basically.
Since he moved to Verona he looks better but also because he's finally fit to play. Hopefully he can play till the end of the season without any problems so it'd make sense to bring him back.
Injuries killed him here, that is true. What I like about him is that he has a nice touch and passing but also has size, for DM that is a useful trait.
Still, I won't lose sleep if he is sold, Mandragora looks like a better prospect at his age.

Do you think Mandragora will be included into the first team so soon? I'd expect a one year loan before that tbh. I guess even both wouldn't hurt since we're likely to offload Lemina, Padoin and Hernanes.
I expect the same tbh. Lemina is 50/50 depending on if he lasts the rest of the season. For €9.5m extra, based on his ability, I think he's easily worth it.
