Initially I was fooled and thought he could be a Chiellini type colossus in defence. But he revealed himself to be a pretty clumsy and much too hot-headed defender.
Di Maria is asking for a 1-year contract worth €7m/yr plus bonuses Angel wants to return to Argentina in 2023 as he doesn't want to continue playing in Europe. (Romeo Agresti)
One year means there is no tax rule for foreigners applied so it's 13-14m cost. The other issue u have is that I just realized that WC is in the middle of the season - we will play 21 games before it, but will he be motivated enough for the rest? If his only goal is to prepare appropriately for the WC?

I havent seen much of him as well but I did catch a game here and then. Udogie seems solid defensively and can attack. Molina is giving me different vibes.
In any case - If we go for him I hope he does turns into a Cancelo rather than an Isla (even if I never liked Cancelo`s defensive abilities)
He’s pretty much the ideal Chiellini replacement. Should provide 4-5 years of world class service easily. One of the few Napoli players with the right attitude and charisma to play for a big club like ours.

yeah, if he is really not bought then he should stay. Some of us were saying Milenkovic or Gabriel could come, Demiral is a better and younger player than both of them, so really its no brainer. Even though it probably would be better to have left footed guy like Gabriel, but its not worth the money.
