I hope so, we bought him for 1 mln, not small money for that kind of youngster. I wonder if Padovan and Beltrame will manage to progress on loan (probably future) as Ciro or they will fall how Libertazzi, who was good goalscorer at Primavera. What do you think Lo-Pan? Thanks for the info by the way.
I totally forgot about Libertazzi. How's his season so far?
It will be interesting to see what happens with Boakye, if as seems very likely, Sassuolo gains promotion and also, Genoa, who own his other half, fall through the Serie A trapdoor. With Chibsah and Boakye helping significantly with the promotion push, relations will be stronger. Chibsah's juve half will be sold, I expect, and Boakye will have performed well enough to earn a crack at Serie A, perhaps with a stronger team than Sassuolo. In which case, we could send them Beltrame or Padovan. Still...that is perhaps overly optimistic, and they will be farmed out to Serie B teams, allowing Bonatini the chance he craves. At the same time, Leo himself could well be loaned out. although as with Beltrame, he will have another year still he would be eligible for the primavera (U19).
I'd prefer to see Boakye remain with Sassuolo, continue his development where his is doing well and knows the club. Bonatini hasn't yet done enough to earn a loan move elsewhere, but then again, had Gabriel Appelt or Buoy done enough before they moved to PV and Brescia?? I think with our more talented players we get them playing competitive football as quickly as possible. So expect to see...Magnusson, Rugani, Branescu, Beltrame, Padovan, Ruggiero, Leo all loaned out in the Summer. Midfielder Mattiello, at 17 years old, has been a regular, so expect him to stay, and be an even stronger part of next season's primavera...
The Libertazzi story is a woeful one. Novara have hardly excelled this term. Sitting presently dangerously close to the relegation zone, but still scoring regularly. He is the only one of their 8 strikers who has yet to make a league appearance. Such a shame given his impressive form for the primavera before he left the fold. The loan move has been a complete waste of time. yet the only failure we can talk about is his failure to earn any playing time. He is 21 years old now, so still has time on his side, and the hope must be that he can find a club in the Summer who are willing to give him games.
He has two goals in twelve appearances in the league, two goals in two Nextgen games, unsure as to how much of the coppa primavera he has played in, but hasn't yet scored there. Assists seem down to zero. However, I would judge more the fact that he has made a decent number of appearances in all U19 competitions.
