have to offer mad salary to prise him away from juves clutches. 5% chance we pull this off imo

banduan

ain't happening until it actually happens. Too many obstacles in the way.

I do support our transfers team pushing for it though. Can't win if you don't fight.

naz

Probably trying to up the price, no way we get him

I'd largely agree. Juve do shady deals with these smaller clubs all the time, so maybe they don't want to piss Juve off and that may contribute to them doing a wrose off deal with Juve rather than a better deal with a foreign club. Having said that, I love the fact that we are pushing.

Same. He's the right type of profile we should be signing for CM.

The players we go for these days are inspiring and ambitious. I can give them that at least.

I don’t think we are getting him over Juve if he gets that choice, but as of now he doesn’t have that choice.

The key is making Juve bid as unattractive as possible in Sassuolo’s eyes.

I trust we are well past the time of making bids of £40 Mn and 1 Pound. Just make a €45 Mn bid and be done with.

I don’t know, is this guy really worth 0,65 Ben Whites?

Carnevali (Sassuolo chair) says we're the only club to have made an official bid and we're ahead of Juventus who have only held talks so far. Dortmund has been linked in press reports but wasn't mentioned in his interview

40m for him would be 1000x better than 60m for White or 40m for Buendia.

He's actually younger and a lot more experienced than White. If this bid falls through because we blew our load signing the chavvy beachboy I'll break something.

Getting one of Locatelli / Sabitzer / Merino would be amazing this summer. I know we haven't been linked with Merino, but I am a huge fan.

Would throw Kessie into the equation as well.

Gazza M

risky buy for 40m imo. he looks a high energy player in serie a and internationals, but that might not translate to england.

goon

True, but I think you have to take that gamble given the potential upside, if it doesn't work it doesn't work.

high energy is a good sign for signing anyone up to a PL club.

No bid, he was just name dropping to get some more cash from Juve.
