Apparently, he is heading to Italy shortly for his medical. It makes sense to bring him in over the Summer rather than wait until his contract expires at the end of the year. This way we Conte and Baroni can have a good look at him, help him settle into life at Piedmont and perhaps find him a loan club to play for next season. It will be interesting to see whether he stays with the primavera or continues to play at a senior level as he was doing at Flamengo before their season ended...The same can be said of Appelt though, given his appearances for Resende. Still, the aim will surely be to get him playing at competitive senior level as soon as possible. It would be nice to see Appelt, Mattheus and Bonatini all at the same team! Chuck in a bit of Chibsah for good measure, maybe a sprinkle of Masi and Leali.
Leali
Untersee Masi Rugani Magnusson Laursen
Mattheus Chibsah Appelt
Beltrame Bonatini
SUBS-
Branescu, Garcia, Buoy, Schiavone, Boakye, Padovan, Sakor.
I wonder how that team would do in Serie B.
