yeah I think the amount of doubt from Americans fans around this player makes no sense....same for the dest's and mcekennies etc.... a 16 year old starter in MLS is a damn fine accomplishment....I'd say the benefit of the doubt shuld go with the player...but its like eveyone wants to preempitvely rain on the parade. ... he should go to the absolute best club he can....provided they will actually give him a chance with the first team and not loan army him....italy would be ideal, imo. worst case he washes out at barcelona but still catches on with a good team elsewhere....much easier to fall down the ladder than climb up it imo.
Sounds like a couple of Serie A offers were declined this winter: https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/sour...serie-a-offers-for-gianluca-busio-this-winter Sporting Kansas City received and rejected offers from two Serie A clubs for Gianluca Busio this winter, sources tell MLSsoccer.com. A number of European clubs from Italy, Germany and the Netherlands also reached out about Busio this offseason, the sources added.

Metronome is a good word to describe Gianluca Busio’s lone 6 when SKC had the ball vs Vancouver as he dictated a steady flow of possession from side to side. 12 recoveries = a good reading of the game. Took a lot of set pieces. #SportingKC #USMNT pic.twitter.com/CjBkGKSJet— Kranks (@dis_possessed) May 17, 2021
Busio has been really good the first month of the season. He can play multiple midfield positions and do it well. If he’s not sold this January, sporting kc are really messing with his career. Go make that serie a move and potentially work your way into the World Cup squad
He looks like an 8 to me.....he’s playing well and really seeing the game right now. It’s time for him to make that move
But as a 6 he could do express his prodigious talent at being able to see favorable positions and reach that position with the ball. That he is good at coming away with the ball, runs all day, and jumps into passing lanes, mitigates his average athleticism. I prefer him in that role but agree he is pretty good as an 8.
Yea I like him all over the field. He has talent going forward as well so I’d have him at 8. He’s a guy that needs to touch the ball a lot and control the pace of the game. I see him like a Kovacic in that 6/8 kind of hybrid game control guy
Really like him as a 6. Gianluca Busio vs Houston (5/29/21) pic.twitter.com/5XIrhOcXqd— FalseFullback (@FalseFullback2) May 30, 2021
🚨🚨🚨(Breaking News)Multiple @SerieA_EN teams have put in bids to @SportingKC for Busio. He’s ready for the move while also on the radar of @USMNT. I’d be shocked if other clubs/leagues don’t get involved soon. #SportingKC #MLS— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman) June 4, 2021 No teams named but lots of interest. I wonder why its only teams in italy? Where are the German teams?
SKC has not been a club that has seemed very willing to sell Americans in the past (Zusi,Besler, EPB)... hopefully they let Busio go if they get a fair offer.
A Dutch side appears to be in the mix as well: Can confirm this. SKC have again received multiple bids for Gianluca Busio from Serie A clubs. In talks with a Dutch club as well and they expect more to follow.Busio is one to watch closely this summer https://t.co/IOy0v8Rfp1— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) June 4, 2021
