Don't give me hope man. I've been crying for a midfielder since the start of the month.
I think everyone has, but we had to offload one. And now Sensi is leaving, which allows us to go for one. If Vecino also left we'd definitely go for a top target rather than some loan.
But given that after the club's meeting we have shown willingness to spend and integrate future targets immediately, I think we may surprise ourselves here.
Not sure on the profile being looked at but Frattesi sounds about right since this player will be called to substitute Barella and/or Brozovic maybe, since he's a definite target.
We'll have to understand what the plan is for the day after Vidal, Vecino and Sensi are gone, but if it's a permanent player I expect someone with Vidal characteristics.
I am going to assume that Sassuolo is not willing to let anyone go now, neither Scamacca nor Frattesi.
So I am guessing Fabian Ruiz will be our focus if we have money to spend.
Villar left Roma, I was gonna say that he'd be our target if we only seeked a loan deal. But we may end up looking at guys like Van de Beek or Lo Celso if they're available on a dry loan.
Don't know why, but for the time being I feel optimistic about this target. Maybe I believe Marotta convinced the owners that winning against Liverpool is going to resolve a lot of issues.
