I think it was GDM trolling. Wants more viewers on his mercato show.
It could make sense if they'd accept a loan + option. They bought Kampl, he's not having a good year, tough situation with Klopp, Raiola is his agent, Raiola was here 2 days in a row.
if we look at Beppe's track record though...
2016, $$$ to replace
Barza, Evra, Pirlo, Tevez...
where will we get that cash from?
