Funds? We made a ton of exceeding cash from our CL fare. Up until today we've only spend money on Costa. That is on this summers mercato. We have payments from January and before, but thats not in this summer mercato budget. Costa was signed for ~45m split in three years. 45/3 is 15m.
So we've only spend €15m this summer. I believe the budget is ~100m. Now my match skills are way off, but somehow we should still have A LOT funds to spend. Even if we sign Bernardeschi for €40m and Schick for €30m. We should still have €25m for a starter RB. €30-40m for a CDM and a little extra for backups ala De Sciglio and Sczezny.

Schick is sidelined for a while anyway. No point rushing this transfer through to get him going with us to the US tour. Marotta should sign Bernardeschi and enough with the penny pitching. Just give the Rincon and €40m, and get over with it. When he's regarded a top class playmaker in half a year nobody will complain we spend ~50m to sign him.
