How annoying to have a kid that look talented when there's the chance he may never reach his potential. Lets just buy non talented guy who never are gonna disappointed us
We want to keep him but it seems Raiola doesn't like that option. He'd like Kean to move somewhere.
Raiola wants us to loan him to Holland where den Haag and Zwolle want him. But we wanted a tougher competition so we were/are thinking of a Serie A loan (Verona, Bologna).
Now, apparently, there's another option. Raiola might push for a sale with a buy-back option which would be around 20mln euros. He might join Feyenoord if that's the case.
Feyenoord wanted to buy him not so long ago but we said no. It seems Raiola is pushing for that shit, but it's no surprise really. I'd also hate to see him leave with a buy-back because imo we'd surely want to get him back and 20mln ain't cheap (although they'd probably spend 8-10mln on him).
I'd like to have him as vice-Pipita but it seems Raiola wants him to get more minutes. If that's the case then I'd prefer a loan, even if it's a loan to Holland.
I'd already be comfortable having him start against low level Serie A teams and Coppa matches, but I also know that Allegri has been very scarce with his minutes to youngsters so a one year loan to a team where he will start 15+ matches is a good decision. Not to mention we need to give Pjaca a shot too. If he performs well he can jump in when Mandzukic inevitably moves on in a year or two; Kean is a good future replacement as he too can play on the left wing quite naturally and is physically already quite imposing at 17.
From the little I have seen of him seems like too much potential to lose forever. Euro soccer appears like American sports where certain power agents can really make things difficult for the teams.
