So what is really strange is that the Koop and Nico deals were stalled because we needed to wait for their replacements, if you believe what press reports were saying given that the figures were already agreed upon.
Atalanta signed Samardzic and Fiorentina signed Gudmudssen. Still no deal. What gives?
I can only suspect that the fact that Atalanta are also keen on Nico (even more so that now Lookman wants to go to PSG) and Kululu…is in some way putting off the deal.
Also, everyone said that Atalanta do not need to sell. But they haven’t sold anyone so far and bought a right back, Retegui, Breciannini and Samardzic. They still earn less revenue than us and they do need to sell especially if they also want to get Nico. Perhaps the money from Lookman is enough?
