Arthur Doesn't want to leave Barca for now but if in the coming weeks the club and coach Setien should make him understand that for him there is no more space then the midfielder could change his mind and accept a move to Juventus. [Sky]
Tonali to Inter definitely leaves me puzzled and kind of salty. On the other hand, it is typical from Conte to want deals done and fast or else the whining starts. Maybe losing out on some of those targets is a blessing in disguise and we might get ourselves a couple of quality signings between July and September. Our needs are different than Inter in terms of transfer. I don’t know what Paratici’s plans are but we’ll eventually have to replace players if they leave (Pjanic, Rabiot). Not only that but out midfield lacks quality and depth, so it would be expected that we sign 1 or 2 quality players but then we’re talking about Paratici here. Aouar should be our number 1 target, maybe VDB. Pogba is unrealistic, unless we’re raising money for this kind of move. Zaniolo with his injury, is he worth the risk? A quality Right back is a must and maybe a solid substitute for Sandro. Our attack is a mystery because of how unclear the situation is with Higuain and the lack of good names out there.
Juventus want to bring in Nicolo Zaniolo - Roma ask for at least €60m, while Juventus would like to propose an exchange. inter also in the running for zaniolo .Roma prefer cash. [Sky]
Sarri: "The transfer market is the last thing I want to do in life, it bores me to death. I like to do my job, which is to coach. I will work to find solutions."
Tonali could be great one day but he went to the worst place to develop his career so let him be. Kulusevski is more impressive in my opinion, more dynamic and versatile so I'm not bothered. Getting Zaniolo would be something, he's a special player.
I have learned my lesson with Isla when we signed a player recovering from a serious injury. It simply doesn't work at a club so demanding. An ACL-torn player needs playing time to regain fitness and build confidence which we won;t offer him. Just a flop waiting to happen.
- No change on Arthur, but he may change his mind
- Barca still want Pjanic, Juve want Castrovilli, but Fiorentina don't want to sell
- Juve + Higuain need to find a solution
- Juve want Zaniolo but Roma don't want to sell
- Juve still linked with Milik

The quote sounds good but he is not tatically flexible as allegri so it is better if he wants jorginho than we should try to sign him up so atleast we get to see the beautiful sarriball
So - we want midfielders clubs don't want to sell, we want to sell our deadweight in player exchanges with players club don't want to sell or players that don't wan to come...
...but we fail to sign a player from a club that was willing to sell for an amount we could afford.

It'll be really shitty if Higuain - who we paid 90M four years ago for - leaves for free, and we have to spend a chunk of our transfer budget on his replacement - a backup striker who recently had two ACL injuries, one in each knee.
