Zapata was just complaining that Sarri froze him out when they were both at Napoli. I think it's just lazy journalism because he scored against us.
Also being linked to 2 Sassuolo players just before playing them makes me doubt it has any substance in it, probably just lazy journalism and cack sources.

If Locatelli and Arthur are our only midfield reinforcements... 
Definitely the kind of signings we need to take that midfield to the next level and compete with the likes of Bayern, Liverpool and City 
Sacrificing the acquisitions of Tonali and Zaniolo only to end up with Locatelli? Priceless.

None of those players are what we need. We need a midfielder that will bring +10 goals and +10 assists a season, and none of the above mentioned will do that.

Dont get me wrong I`d love Zaniolo but we need someone who really has presence physical dribbling and above all has the ability to score and assist lots of goals.
Zaniolo is part of that but we need someone who can be all of it.
This is why I only mention SMS and Pogba when I talk about midfielders.
Both are unlikely which means our mid still not going to be great next season although it can improve..

it's all about fitting into a system. these are mostly good fits for a high defending, pressing, counterattacking team. they are very solid passers, especially the starters, pretty good at defending, and neither of them has to create a lot, because that's the fullback's and attacker's task at pool. out of our midfield, only bentancur and matuidi can press, and ramsey is also used to it, but not very good at it.
i reckon none of our midfielders would start for liverpool. maybe bentancur in a year or two, but he's not physical enough for that role. or maybe klopp could pick an in-form rabiot over wijnaldum... not sure about it either.
btw i'd gladly take fabinho, all day, any day. he's a versatile player, can play on a high level either as a fullback or a cm. he was on the top of my wishlist for years.

Fabinho meeeeeh, Locatelli meeeeh, Jorginho meeeeh. Do not want. Curious about Tonalli (he´s gone anyway) and Zaniolo. Have mixed feeling about SMS, he seems quite irregular.

Btw, I do think they will not only confirm Sarri, but will adapt a bit to his wishes.
I do think Jorginho has the exact profile Paratici will sign (28/29, plays a position we need, have the absolute confidence of the coach).

I’m saying on paper-ability wise our talent SHOULD shit on a lot of clubs. We’re getting nothing out from them.

I do rate him. Maybe not as much as you do but I do rate him.

Which brings me to another point. Our Regista role. We need a top Regista to make this all click in the middle. I still don’t see Bentancur as the answer there.

Sign Dest 
Both Corriere Torino and Corriere dello Sport report that Juve are following 19-year-old Dest who came through the Ajax academy. Alongside, the club are also looking at a replacement left-back with David Alaba, Emerson Palmieri and Robin Gosens being considered.
I would love that, I mentioned it before, but both Dest and Denzel look ready to make a step forward and join the bigger stage..
Juventus are being linked with a move for Ajax full-back Sergino Dest as they look for alternatives to Mattia De Sciglio and Danilo. The Bianconeri are looking to reinforce on the flanks as they look to upgrade in the left and right-back areas after a notable decline in quality in those positions.

Paratici's eye for talent
At least its evident that he's trying to address the fullback issue as well
