We dogded a bullet with Trash-Telli, but when this will be proved, his admirers won't even remember him, like it happens every single year with those Mediocre one season wonders...
I think a player like locatelli will help complete our midfield group. Not necessarily a starter but good for rotation as well as changing formations etc...40m in this market seems high and they are probably taking advantage of our incompetent people at the top. The deal won't get done at that.
Question is if he is in the mould pirlo wants and we can't bring him in then who do we go for?
Sassuolo CEO Carnevali: "Locatelli? I believe there is a desire from our part to keep him. We want Locatelli to stay with us. After this season there is the Euro & with us he has more chances to show off.”
“However if there is a big club like Juve or other foreign teams & if there are conditions for everyone, even for us & not just for Locatelli. We will see what we can do. I believe Manuel is followed by Juventus & many European teams.”
Amazing debut. Dominated VDB and De Jong, this kid has stepped up another level under De Zerbi at Sassuolo. So calm, great ball winner, smooth as silk in possession. Got Marchisio vibes from him tonight.
