'A couple of days' implies that immediately after the defeat in Istanbul, Inter management's absolute first priority was to offload their absolute talisman, one of the best players in the world for a measly sum of 58 million euro that would barely make a dent in our debt, just to turn around and use
more than half of that for someone who is very unproven at the top in Frattesi or a Sergej Milinkovic-Savic with a year left on his contract. This is, by the way, 58 million from a club that is owned by one of the richest nation states in the world.
That or Nicolo Barella, self-confessed fan, or his entourage are desperate to move from Milano to Northeast England to play for Eddie Howe and his soulless team of merchants, leaving one of the reigning Champions League finalists. If he's available for 58 million euros, every single club in the world would be on him like vultures. But no, he's as good as on his way to the Magpies.
Solid. Checks out.
I know we're in deep shit guys, and someone will be sold, but this is beyond a parody.
Also, the main source is Luke Edwards. I just checked the Newcastle forums, and he's an absolute muppet, apparently. This is only gaining traction in English media because of him.
