It seems there is a ton of EPL interest for Paredes. One of them will just pay whatever Roma wants while Marotta looks at it more as a market opportunity.

Guys if you like wrestling watch it, but remember it is all fixed they know the winner in advance.
All theater!!!
So its like Fifa...


As for Predes I dont know - Never really noticed him... I guess he is ok but is he really worth 25M?! I should have at least notice him on the field for that kind of sum

Roma has to sell because of FFP. Yeah it's possible now xD

Just read his agent offered him to us. Paratici and Marotta are fans apparently. He can play regista or holding mid. I like him but I guess Roma will make it hard for us to buy him due to PL's interest.

I don't think we will sign more than 2 CMs so if those two are Tolisso and Paredes would people be happy?
Tolisso is definitely a great player even if 40m is a high price...
Paredes.. dont know If he is one of the only two then I definitely hope for a better duo

Paredes would be a very good vice-Pjanic tbh. We have no other player like Pjanic now which is definitely our weakness.
Tolisso is not Vidal or Pogba but he's very good and exactly what we need. If we were to sign both then it'd be a really good upgrade of our midfield. Both are 22yo and have plenty of room for improvement. The department would get younger too.

Juventus has made an offer of €5m to sign Sao Paulo defender Lyanco (19), according to Fox Sports Brazil.
Who?!
As for Paredes - They say Kessie is valued at 25M so maybe we should go for him instead...
More awkward than Paredes but his physicality could be an asset if he turns up good

Anyway I rather we skip on both and go placing our money in the big leagues
Tolisso even if he costs more is twice the player both of them are
Verratti if possible is one of the top 5 CM in the world along with Pogba Vidal and Modric (didnt really count but he is somewhere among the top 5)
If we look for a more attacking option then James is definitely the guy
Isco while I dont think he would want to leave Real is another good option but he is a less decisive player than James...
Another option is changing to a 4-3-3 and then we would be needing a more attacking kind of player like Sanchez
The last option is playing the diamond formation with Dybala behind the forwards which I must admit is the best role for him (for now)

I haven't followed the Verratti thing. Is it like Immobile, where he was talking an acting like a douchebag on and off the field against us, but people still kept believing he liked us?
This makes no sense? It's the reverse, Immobile has played in our academy but still professed more affection for Napolitan home and kinda was cold about Juve in few comments while in Torino. While Verratti has never played for us but is self processed long time fan and publicly said he wants to join us while he was in Pescara.


It doesn't govern his career choices on its own ofcourse, but that's a weird take to things you got out of it. His agent has more then few times pointed out it's no secret he is a a Juve fan etc.


Doesn't make a deal any less impossible, but at the end of the day he is an Italian player who probably kinda misses his country and going to the biggiest most successful club that he happens to like would probably be nice option for him. But sadly it's one that's far from the reality of things considering the bids he will require and who his employers are.

Only chance is if we shell out big money and he refuses to go anywhere else really.
