    Napoli don’t want to sell Raspadori, but if the right offer came, they would consider it.

    Im happy with Liberali to Catanzaro he can help us finally get back to Serie A and he will play.

    probably why they gave up on Liberali. Comotto is the truth.

    AC Milan has been lost for few years now. Ever since Paolo Maldini left to be exact. They also have a pragmatic coach who does not know how to develop a trequartista like Liberali. Players who usually grow or find success under Allegri are CMs and CBs.

    I heard they are loaning him out to Spezia to get minutes. 17yr getting loaned out to Serie B team that's fighting for promotion is unheard of in modern day Italian Football.

    I hope whoever is the DS for Spezia and last year's Juve Stabia gets hired to replace some of the garbage who are running Serie A.

    Comotto is a midfielder. Liberali is a 10. They aren’t competing with each other for space. They play different positions.

    Is someone able to explain to me why PSG are working to offload quite possibly the best goalkeeper in the world?

    Are they nuts? They literally won almost everything with him, and he is a major cog in their major success. What went wrong? I haven't been following closely, but it's bizarre.

    People were saying similar things when Messi, OwMyKnee and Donatello left.

    Liberali? I'm not happy about it and I hope we keep missing out on WC's, hardheaded Italians will eventually get it and maybe some changes in Serie A will happen.

    PSG have a new salary structure. In their new contract proposal he would be earning less guaranteed money, but he would be able to earn the same if he hits all his bonuses. I don’t think they want him to leave, but they aren’t willing to make an exception. I commend this model.

    I’m really not worried about Gigio. He’s going to do well wherever he goes and he’s going to get paid handsomely. He’s proven to be the best GK in the world right now.

    Napoli and Juve are negotiating for Miretti. I don’t think he’s a player we need right now nor do I think he’s someone Juve should sell.

    Juve continue to sell all their young talents for short term gain.

    Not been close attention to this off-season but I hear Luis Diaz went to Bayern Munich. So even without the late Diogo Jota and Diaz, they have no room for Ciccio Chiesa?

    I told you guys that the situation was a dumpster fire. You could tell as soon as clubs started bringing back Ciro and 40 yr olds. No commitment to developing young talent. 2 missed WCs and danger of a 3rd and NO ONE GIVES A CAZZO.

    It's a lost cause. Our conazionali have a broken backwards mentality and frankly I'm not sure what will fix it. 5 straight missed WCs probably wouldn't do it.

    I don’t know about their winger targets but Liverpool are trying to sign Isak. Newcastle just rejected a 120 million euro offer for him.

    Mattia Zanotti who impressed with the U21s this summer looks like he’s on his way to Leeds. Another youth talent that was discarded by Inter. He was linked with Bologna early in the transfer market but I guess things died out. If you look at all the teams in Serie A that are looking for a right back right now you have Bologna, Udinese, Sassuolo. Even ********ing Juventus could have signed Zanotti. But instead for the same value they’ve opted for Joao Mario who people say is nothing special. The world is upside down

    Because they got him on a free transfer from Milan they offered him a massive salary. Now that he has to renew they want to offer him a good salary but not as much. He will renew for the same but not less.

    It's that simple but few teams will pay the transfer fee and match the salary anyway so he doesn't really have a ton of leverage unless he does something dumb and goes to Turkey or Saudi. Even Man U would be a down grade.

    The only big clubs that really need a top GK are Inter and Bayern and neither can really afford his salary. Man Utd need a GK but they're in a bad spot right now so it's a downgrade.

    PSG also dont want to see him walk for free next season. Im sure he would be happy to play one more year then get a second big contract as a free agent but they fear another Mbbape situation.

    But Juve didn't buy Joa Mario they gave Costa to Porto and received 5m so he was -15m cheaper than Zanotti. but yes supposedly Joa Mario is crap.

    Right makes sense

    I think Allegri has no real use for a number 10 ... unfortunately Liberali Baldanzi Pafundi types are struggling to find a way into modern top level football. The new number 10 needs to be physical and play box to box. I don't agree with this but it's a big reason why these players take so long to launch.

    Even a Fazzini is just physical enough to be used in an advanced midfield role. They need to train guys like Pafundi and Liberali to play as inside forwards/wingers at youth level if no teams are going to use a number 10 in Serie A.

    its not just Allegri what coach has used a trequartista in the last 5/10 years?
    maybe Leverkusun with Florian Writz. in Serie A I can't think of one.

    Oh look. Bernardeschi is out injured. What a surprise when you purchase old assets. They break down.

    Peter Young from footballitalia is getting his information from calciomercato.com and has reported Raspa recently travelled to Madrid to hold discussions.

    I actually would like this move just fine for Raspa. He is the type of attacker Simeone can get the most out of and even continue some development.

    He played 30 mins for Liverpool yesterday and did not look good. He needs to find a new home immediately!
