I agree with Red, shouldn't be a problem finding De Ceglie a club and securing a fee of 4m or something like that.
Personally, I don't ever feel at ease when he's playing for us, he has a striking capability of distancing himself from the wingers he is supposed to mark, despite them not doing anything to throw him off. He doesn't know how to commit to challenges.
His only plus side is his crossing, but he rarely gets in positions and almost never wins his 1 on 1's, even when attacking.

In his career so far he has proven only that he can be, on occasion, a useful left winger. Asking of him any defensive or covering duties is suicidal, precisely because he has zero positional intelligence/awareness and less tackling ability than even Giovinco (because Sebastian at least has a fully functioning brain). We will be very lucky to get 4m for him. 1-3m would be more realistic. It would be of little surprise to see him leave on a free. Essentially...i'll be happy when he finally leaves. For he is a ticking bomb whenever he plays.
He may be crap, but still better than Molinaros and Pelusos.
It would be extremely unwise to sell him before we secure a proper LB, we made this mistake with Balza, who was just mediocre, but after nearly a decade, we have yet to find a LB anyway close to his value.
Italy lacks decent LBs and for some strange reason, we want our LB to be Italian, so we have to compromise.
DC is part of our option and for the matches we want an offensive orientated left wing back, DC can do that job better than Asamoah or Peluso...
