FIF's dramatic last day of the mercato - Winter 2024

The biggest surprise to me is Bergvall to Tottenham at the last minute instead of Barcelona.

We need everyone. Sensi will continue to give us a hand.
I’m satisfied we handled the window in the best possible way.

I'm not sure Simone agree with you mister, regarding Sensi. Simone always bench him as far as i know.

There were apparently some bureaucratic issues aswell with English FFP. I don't get why Leicester didn't figure those out well befoe the deadline day or was it just part of the negotiations that we wanted X and they wanted Y, who knows. Maybe the loan would have required the extension by our part but we didn't want to do that, didn't want to risk that we would have to deal with Sensi issue next summer again?

Just curious as this obviously hurt Leicester more than us. The money we would have got from this sale would have been nice, but not crucial at all. While they would have got an extra player. Well now we have that extra player, who isn't trusted by our coach.

Based on what i read from Leicester fans they needed to sell someone in order to sign Sensi. They got an offer for one of their players yesterday but offer came from Leeds and they decided against strengthening a direct rival. So without a sale they could only commit to a 500k loan with option to buy while Inter wanted an obligation as Sensi contract expires in the summer. In theory we could extend Sensi contract and approve the deal but perhaps we expected Leicester to eventually agree to our terms or we just didn't want to risk getting stuck with Sensi for one more season.

Yeah I understand if we don't want to send him away for 500k. Incredible Leicester have managed to get themselves to a situation where they cannot commit to 2.5m acquisition.
