Perfect fit for all parties IMO, but it'll never happen due to Laurentiis' deep saltiness and hatred for us. Both are surplus to respective teams, both are in dying need of one and other. Wouldn't mind throwing in a 10-15mil bonus for the deal to happen srs.
I think he might do it, they are desperate for a striker and it seems like sarri prefers Zielinski and Diawara above jorginho. Giving them zaza would strenghten them imo but jorginho can be our vice marchisio (although hernanes is not amazing he does the job)

Zaza- Jorginho swap would be fantastic
For Napoli...
I wouldnt take him.. We have Hernanes who is actually doing a good job as a vice Marchisio (quite surprising but its true)
The way things are going I think our best choice right now is to get Kessie at January and hope he can make an impact!
We wont be getting Witsel in January while I dont see us getting Fabregas unless Conte somehow will be open for loan with option deal which I doubt he will!

Kessie in January will make a lot of sense actually as he can do a good job as well as being physical our mid look too soft to be honest.

Kessi is a must.If we don't get him his price will go skyrocketing high at summer.January is the time we get him for a reasonable price.Witsel is an option only for 5-6 mil.Above that is not worth especially after having in mind what happened last summer with him.

Kessie & Witsel would actually give us an immense boost in January. Both of them are very strong physically and we've been lacking in this department the entire season. Then we'll see what we can do next summer but it would be amazing to seal those 2 deals in January especially as both of them are allowed to feature in the CL and that's a rare thing when you're looking for quality.

The question is who should we sacrifice instead? Hernanes has actually climbed the ladder while Lemina, Sturaro and Asamoah have shown barely nothing all season.

Kessie is a must. He could be used in Europe which Witsel can't since he's tied with Zenit.

Obviously Atalanta won't let him leave since they're having a great season for once so we either have to pay well or send them a midfielder back on loan that could fill in for Kessie.

Anyway, Kessie is a huge must!

Buying Kessie and loaning him back to Atalanta till summer would probably be ideal. He's still quite young, and making the step up to a club like Juve is difficult already, even moreso in the middle of the season.

On Wistel...... Zenit is playing the Europa league. I assume that means he would still be cup-tied?

Kessie has PL teams watching him, that starts to mess with the transfer fee.

The advantage we have are relationships, Beppe starts calling in favours and suddenly Sturaro and Hernanes end up in Bergamo.

also, kessié is ivorian -> even if we buy him during the winter mercato (which is unlikely), he's off to afcon, just like benatia or lemina.
