It's a 2 year contract with no transfer fee we won't need to offload him he will just leave if we don't want him
Since it's 2 years its fine, but I kinda get Paratici vibes signing yet another mercenary on massive wages only to let him roll for free once the contract ends. We hardly ever seem to recoup anything on players that have actual resale value.

What's to recoup? We're not spending anything on him besides wages, and the idea with those is that they are in exchange for performances on the pitch. I get the feeling you don't see the difference between a free transfer and one that costs money.

This is far more Marotta style than Paratici, it's an opportunistic freebie with low risk and high potential reward.

Unnecessary? He is literally replacing the role Morata had in the squad. LF/CF. We need someone there as the only option besides Vlahovic is the woefully awful Moise Kean.

€5M (and 2M in bonuses) is a great deal for both parties imo.

I have doubts over his character but we do need a versatile forward, and he has a level of unpredictability and vision about him that we need.
Yeah this plus personally I was hoping for Zaniolo

But okay, on a free and for 2 years I can’t complain too much. Hopefully no stellar behavior and weird rap clips

The one and only reason for this must be: Allegri wants experienced players. Nothing else

But yes, even if I really dont like Depay, for free ans 2 years its good. But we need hungry young players, not millionaires who think they are stars.
