    “Contacts with Inter? I can’t confirm or deny" says Musah's agent.

    Side note: I particularly liked reading about Yunus' relationship with Gattuso and how they speak in Italian with each other. Honestly, I hope Gattuso remains his manager for some time.

    Musah is about to get paid a lot of money to play soccer for a big club. His World Cup performances have been unbelievable for a 19/20yo central midfielder.

    I thought he had a better game against England. He is getting tired sooner after 2 11/2 games

    With all the extra time they've been giving I wouldn't be surprised if we've played an entire half more. 9 minutes which was 10 tonight, insane. How to do you get +9 minutes from a 45 minute half???

    9 minutes stoppage for our game was ridiculous. Even with the Sargent injury.

    He was already on his way in June, but his performances in decidedly mixed US showings against top-class midfields like England and the Netherlands will have made one or two teams that were already thinking about bidding for him decide to act now in case someone else does.

    That'll be doubly so for a big side whose main man at ACM either comes back from Big Cup carrying an injury or is over 32 and out of contract within the next 18 months. Musah's young and is already proven to be very good at this level, but he's not yet a star; any upside will accrue to you and the downside risk is minimal.

    That would be a steal for Musah

    More like "Dick Turpin wore a mask", though there is the "+" bit attached to the 20m. But yeah, anyone getting Musah in 25-million-plus-add-ons territory is getting a very, very good deal.

    Musah is not starting today, likely not playing at all in today's friendly v Nottingham Forest.

    He has a great smile and an even better story. I’d love to see him start cashing in on endorsements and getting some commercial spots.

    He's the only guy I worry about getting corrupted by big money and big fame. He's so sweet and humble. If other guys were to fall sway, some have and some will, it wouldn't feel as big of a cosmic loss as if Musah did. It would be like Kante shilling for crypto or online gambling

    Then he'll have to leave Valencia. They don't have the national platform to give even their biggest stars a shot at those kinds of endorsements. If he stays in Spain, only Real or Braca and Atletico to a very, very limited extent do that. In Italy, there are 5-6 clubs that do.

    You're basing this on a smile? He made the decision to leave Arsenal academy and join Valencia. He's not dumb.

    Of course not; I'm basing it on his interviews, how he carries himself. What he says, the compassion and warmth he shows. He's one of the good ones.

    #Inter have met with the agent of Yunus Musah, who is open to a move to Italy. Valencia value the player at €40M- which #Inter cannot pay but inquired about adding a counterpart into the deal.

    40M seems closer to his value.

    Inter Milan not being able to afford a barely 20-year-old American central mid. The times have changed.
