I hope they keep one between Barbieri and Comenencia, they both would be good cheap squad depth.

This shit is sad, if the guy doesn’t wanna be there let him go. Holding him hostage like hes Cafu lol, Conte and ADL are so bitter. Give us Manna back losers.

It’s not that I’d be unhappy with Di Lorenzo, but isn’t there somewhere a 23 y/o back who we can sign for 15m? Feels like a waste of money going for the short term option

Also it’s not like he is the attacking fullback type that can dribble his way out of trouble or that goes forward all that efficiently, he is actually in the same defensive minded mould as Danilo when playing at RB, solid player that depending on the tactics can raise his game in line with the rest of the team but definitely not the profile that will bring an significant positive impact to our game.

have you actually watched di Lorenzo play? Because calling him defensive minded is…not accurate. He’s not comparable to Danilo, like at all.

Last time i heard Chelsea bought Pedro Lima for 7m + 3m Bonus. He is still a prospect though and will be sent to Strasbourg on loan

I did on quite a few occasions, mostly for Italy and with Napoli only when playing vs Juve… whenever i’ve seen him play he did not strike me as an attacking fullback, not an efficient one at least, or do you mean the fact that he gets forward often makes him attack minded? When in possesion or under pressure he definitely doesnt make things happen.

Solid player overall, but not worth the hassle.

Maybe defensive minded is not the most accurate description, but he does remind me of Danilo as RB in his good days tbh

Ofc i might not have the full picture as i haven’t followed him that closely at Napoli, i remember someone once describing him as a player with flashes of brilliance but inconsistent, at least with Italy he never impressed me and struck me more as an workhorse defensive minded RB similar to Danilo in his Porto and Madrid days, however as part of Napoli’s system he might have indeed been more offensive minded overall so my assessment of him is not exacly the most accurate, although i still don’t see him as that much of an necessary upgrade for us.

Fun story by Fabiana from GDS: Sancho was allegedly gonna arrive during the winter mercato on loan, but Allegri blocked it because he didn’t want to change formation in middle of the season. Now, Giuntoli is going after him again, but it won’t be an easy operation. I get the sense Greenwood was just a diversion from actual targets.

Pedulla also reports Juve have started sniffing around Fofana from Monaco. I’m guessing if he arrives Rabiot is gone, and probably Enzo as well.

Youssouf Fofana can leave Monaco after four profitable years and with a contract close to expiration. The midfielder born in 1999 is certainly a thick profile for a club that is looking for people with those characteristics. For example, Milan, Fabregas himself recommended the operation, but the Rossoneri are also following other options (including Feyenoord's Mats Wieffer). Watch out because there are other Italian clubs on Fofana, in the last few hours Juve has also probed that is closing the Douglas Luiz deal with Aston Villa but that could take another half in case of some will come out. Without forgetting that Juve always remains on Koopmeiners who would be the trequartista if necessary. The valuation of Fofana (who has a market in England and France itself but would gladly have an experience in Italy) stands at 15 million plus bonuses. A figure deemed appropriate one year before the deadline with Monaco. And a Douglas Luiz-Fofana pair in front of the defense would certainly be of absolute thickness. Today DL is one step away, the rest we will see.
